116 FORESTRY ALMANAC 



FORESTRY EDUCATION 



Facilities for education in the principles and practices of forestry, 

 covering the field from the points of view of economics, sylviculture, 

 entomology and management, have kept pace with awakening public 

 sentiment and organized governmental activity. The result has been 

 the establishment of 22 schools with courses leading to degrees of 

 Bachelor of Science in Forestry, Bachelor of Science in Forestry 

 Engineering, Master of Forestry or other appropriately designed 

 degrees. In addition there are about fifty schools giving short courses 

 in the fundamentals of forestry or in some special phase of the work. 

 This does not include ranger courses established to train men for 

 protective and supervisory work in forest areas. 



(The information below has been compiled from data supplied 

 by the officers of the various institutions. No attempt is made to 

 indicate the relative merits of the schools but to show in a general 

 way the activities that have been and are being carried on.) 



BATES COLLEGE 



Up to 1922 under the Benjamin Clark Jordan Foundation, Bates 

 College, Lewiston, Maine, gave a four-year course leading to the 

 degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry. The college came into the 

 possession through the Jordan family of several thousand acres of 

 timberland with the provision that they be administered in accord 

 with the best approved methods of scientific forestry. After June, 

 1921 these lands were put under intensive forestry and the course 

 was discontinued temporarily. This was done in order that every 

 available effort might be applied to the management of the lands. 

 Forestry, therefore, is taught in an elective course, open to the 

 members of the three upper classes, and has an annual enrolment of 

 about 40.
