ies contain many species under test from the point of view of horti- 

 culture or sylviculture. 



The Harvard Forest was acquired by gift in 1907 and aggregates 

 about 2000 acres. It is divided into three blocks with a total stand of 

 merchantable timber of about 11,000,000 feet, nine-tenths of which is 

 white pine and the rest chestnut, white ash, red and white oak and 

 other hardwoods. The greater part of the merchantable stand is be- 

 tween 40 and 70 years of age and there is a wide range of growth as 

 well as variety. The forest is used as an experiment station in 

 sylviculture and management, as a proving ground for scientific 

 forestry and as a means to the study of the relation of utilization 

 to management. 



The faculty includes Richard T. Fisher, assistant Professor of 

 Forestry and Lumbering and director of the Harvard Forest ; Irving 

 W. Bailey, secretary and Associate Professor of Forestry and John 

 G. Jack, Assistant Professor of Dendrology. 



UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO 

 School of Forestry 



The School of Forestry at the University of Idaho, Moscow, 

 Idaho, was organized in 1909. Its purpose is twofold: To train 

 young men for the profession of forestry, and to promote forestry in 

 the State by encouraging the right use of forest resources. The School 

 affords thorough training in practical forestry, preparing for govern- 

 ment, state and private work. It maintains four- and five-year courses, 

 leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Master 

 of Science in Forestry respectively. 



The student body for the academic year 1923-1924 numbers 92 

 majors in forestry besides a number of minors. A considerable 

 number of students from other divisions of the university take 

 advantage of individual courses in forestry. The School offers a 

 correspondence course in " Lumber and Its Uses," which has met 

 with wide favor. 



The faculty consists of Francis G. Miller, a graduate of the Yale 

 School of Forestry, Dean and Professor of Forestry; Dr. Henry 

 Schmitz, graduate of Washington University, Professor of Forest 

 Products ; Clarence W. Watson, graduate of Yale School of Forestry,
