COLLEGE OP FORESTRY 



CHANGES IN THE COLLEGE OF FORESTRY 



DURING THE YEAR 

 HUGO WINKENWERDER, Dean College of Forestry 



There have been 

 but few changes in 

 the College of For- 

 estry this year. We 

 are still located in 

 the Good Roads 

 Building, and prob- 

 ably will be for a 

 period of 3 to 5 

 years longer. It is 

 expected, however, 

 that some changes 

 and additions will 

 be made immedi- 

 ately. How ex- 

 tensive these will be 

 is not now known. 

 We are in need of 

 the present highway laboratory for a branch library, a second story over 

 the large lecture room for additional laboratory and classroom space, and, 

 of course, a complete new overcoat to replace the present dilapidated ex- 

 terior of our building. 



The Faculty 



There have been no changes in the teaching staff during the past 

 year, but under a new system of University organization the faculty of 

 each college consists, in addition to the instructors of the departments 

 of the college, of one instructor above the rank of graduate assistant from 

 each department in the University offering work in the college. This 

 should help very materially to develop a broader all-university interest 

 in the College of Forestry and to secure a more thorough correlation of 

 the various subjects included in the forestry curriculum. 



Enrollment 



While the enrollment is increasing slowly, we are advancing quite 

 steadily. Two years ago there was a regular enrollment of 74, last year 

 88, and this year 90, not including the Short Course. Because of the 

 stringency in the financial situation the enrollment in the Short Course 

 dropped from 30 to 20. Our students make up a very cosmopolitan 

 lot. Men from twelve different states and Canada and from fifteen dif- 

 ferent universities, have registered in the College of Forestry this year. 

 The new students, both freshmen and upperclassmen, come from the 

 following states: Connecticut, Minnesota, Michigan, Idaho, Missouri, 

 Colorado, Ohio, Kansas,. Illinois, California, Wisconsin, New York, and 

 Alberta, Canada. Old students now enrolled hail from New Jersey,
