UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 117 



rapidly expanded its educational activities in this field. From a single 

 program of general forestry in its first year, the courses have grown to 

 provide degrees of Bachelor of Science in Forestry for study of four 

 years in forestry or forestry engineering; the same degree for five 

 years' work combining the two subjects, and the degree of Master of 

 Science in Forestry for one year graduate work. 



Broadly the courses cover forestry in general, logging engineering, 

 forest products engineering and range management. They seek to 

 train professional foresters; to provide instruction to students, major- 

 ing in other fields, in the general principles and ideals of forestry and 

 in certain technical lines; to provide research in forestry from the 

 scientific and practical points of view. Fifty per cent, of the time 

 of the staff is spent in investigative work and the present and con- 

 templated program includes a series of closely correlated projects 

 intended to facilitate and stimulate the practice of forestry on private 

 lands in the redwood region of California. 



The average enrolment of students taking the full professional 

 training is 50. The average annual total attendance in all forestry 

 courses, including the students who take only one or two courses and 

 duplication on the part of professional students is between 200 

 and 250. 



In point of equipment, the school occupies Hilgard Hall with 21 

 rooms devoted to offices, classrooms, a general forest laboratory, a 

 logging demonstration room, two wood technology laboratories, a 

 grazing and forest ecology laboratory, a dark room, herbarium and 

 four research laboratories. A forest nursery is adjacent, and a mile 

 distant is property owned by the university and used for field plant- 

 ing. A large area of cut-over redwood land is used for planting 

 experiment in cooperation with a lumber company. Thirteen weeks 

 are spent by students in the Plumas National Forest. 



The faculty of the Division of Forestry are: Walter Mulford, 

 head of the division and Professor of Forest Economics; Donald 

 Bruce, Associate Professor of Forest Engineering; Woodbridge 

 Metcalf, Associate Professor of Sylviculture and Protection; Arthur 

 W. Sampson, Associate Professor of Range Management and Forest 

 Ecology ; Emanuel Fritz, Assistant Professor of Forest Products and 

 Lumbering, and Francis X. Schumacher, assistant.
