face the foresters today and give added facts for application in con- 

 nection with future management." 



" The establishment of the Charles Lathrop Pack Demonstration 

 Forest in the very heart of the Adirondacks," Professor Moon 

 continues, " offering an opportunity for generation after generation 

 of husky young foresters to receive field practice, constitutes one 

 of the most hopeful signs in the forestry field at the present time, 

 and is, indeed, a splendid token of future progress in this move- 

 ment which is of such obvious and pressing importance to the 

 United States." 



In making his gift, Mr. Pack does so by giving to the College 

 complete authority over the area, " to conduct and promote investiga- 

 tions, experiments and research in forestry and sylviculture and their 

 several branches, including forestation, reforestation and the growth 

 and development of forests for public, commercial and recreational 

 purposes, the planting, transplanting, cutting and selling of trees, 

 timber and other forest products, the demonstration of the feasibility 

 and advantages of sylviculture, and the maintenance of a summer 

 camp and school for the students of the college in order to familiarize 

 them with field work and the practical aspects of forestry." 



In adopting a minute designating the tract to be forever known 

 as The Charles Lathrop Pack Demonstration Forest, the Trustees 

 of Syracuse University declare that the Board, " recognizing the 

 broad and enlightened spirit which has actuated Mr. Pack in making 

 this munificent gift, conveys to him its deep appreciation and sincere 

 thanks for his manifestation of his practical interest in the creation 

 and conservation of forests, for his confidence in the college, and for 

 this additional testimony of his generosity and devotion to the 

 public welfare." 



BEREA COLLEGE FOREST 



That ownership of a tract of standing timber, managed upon 

 the principles of selective cutting and sustained yield, constitutes 

 a lucrative endowment for an educational institution has been 

 proved by several colleges. Such areas are owned and maintained 

 by practically all of the professional forestry schools, serving as ex- 

 perimental stations and field laboratories. In addition several in- 

 stitutions not giving forestry courses have forest assets of value.
