a thorough technical training in the fundamentals and to prepare them 

 for positions in the Federal Forest Service, other lines of forestry 

 or for advanced study. 



A four-year undergraduate course is offered, concentrating most 

 of the technical work in the last two years. The first two years are 

 concerned largely with academic work, leaving the last two years free 

 for the large amount of work done away from the college itself. 

 The technical forestry courses in the last two years cover sylviculture, 

 dendrology, forest mensuration, wood structure, forest products and 

 utilization, forest protection, forestation, forest entomology and pa- 

 thology, forest investigations, forest management and working plans, 

 logging and lumbering, forest history and policy, forest construction 

 engineering and logging plans. 



The four-year course carries the degree of Bachelor of Science 

 in Forestry. A two-year graduate course is offered for the degree of 

 Master of Forestry, and a five-year course is provided offering 

 both degrees. 



The School owns 6500 acres of forest known as the Manitou 

 Forest in the Rocky Mountains, 27 miles from Colorado Springs, 

 with camp buildings and equipment. Half of the forestry teaching 

 is done on this forest, practical field instruction being thereby com- 

 bined with the theoretical work. The faculty devoting their entire 

 time to forestry instruction are Gordon Parker, Associate Professor 

 and director of the school, and John V. K. Wagar, instructor.

 instruction in the practical elements of forestry to aid agricultural 

 students ; theoretical and practical work for students planning to make 

 it their profession, and popular education throughout the State. 



The curriculum has been developed and now provides a four-year 

 course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry, with
