Montana., and British Columbia. Students who have attended the fol- 

 lowing institutions in the past, Pomona College, University of California, 

 University of Southern California, University of Colorado, Colorado Col- 

 lege, University of Wisconsin, Biltmore Forest School, Baker University 

 (Kansas), Michigan Agricultural College, George Washington University, 

 Ohio State College, University of Iowa, University of Alberta, and the 

 University of Oregon are included. 



A change all students will be interested in is that the University will 

 have a matriculation fee of ten dollars and a tuition fee of ten dollars a 

 semester, beginning with the opening of the work in September. The 

 Short Course also carries a ten-dollar fee. As there will be a large num- 

 ber of free scholarships, it is believed that this will not work any serious 

 hardship on the students, nor should it affect the enrollment materially. 



The Curriculum 



The policy adopted two years ago of allowing considerable leeway 

 in the election of studies from other departments for the purpose of 

 specialization along certain definite lines has thus far worked out very 

 well indeed as is attested by the students who have taken advantage of 

 the new scheme and are making good in the work of the world. 



In the aim to keep the curriculum fully abreast of the times, a fourth 

 group of elective studies has been added this year which will allow for 

 specialization in the Business of Lumbering. As lumber no longer sells 

 itself, but requires to be sold, there should be good openings developing 

 in the lumber business for the office man and the salesman w r ho has a 

 thorough knowledge of certain branches of forestry, particularly forest 

 products. 



This course includes the following electives from the departments 

 of Political Science and Journalism: Commercial Geography, Money 

 and Banking, Accounting, Foreign and Domestic Markets, and the Prin- 

 ciples of Advertising. While other subjects are open to election, those 

 named are specifically recommended. 



With this addition the College of Forestry now offers excellent op- 

 portunities for specialization in four distinct lines, (1) Forest Manage- 

 ment, (2) Logging Engineering, (3) Forest Products, (4) The Business 

 of Lumbering. 



Other changes of lesser importance include a special full year course 

 of Forest Mathematics and special sections for forestry students in Eng- 

 lish and German. It is hoped that another year may also develop 

 special sections in Physics and Chemistry. 



Graduate Work 



Special stress should be laid on the efforts that are being made toward 

 strengthening the graduate work. Considerable additional apparatus for 

 work in Forest Products has been obtained and it is hoped that the wooded 

 slopes along the east and north side of the campus, comprising about 70 

 acres, will be turned over to the College of Forestry in the near future as a 

 permanent campus laboratory for Silviculture and Forest Management. 

 The tract will be gradually put under wood lot management. Plans are 

 also under way for securing a demonstration forest of considerable size in 

 the Cascades. With the apparatus now at hand and the excellent op-
