THE SCHOOLS 



U9 



school was established as a ciepartment of the university, and immediately 

 a number of young- men entered upon a three years law course, seA'-eral of 

 whom expect to graduate, well equipped for their profession, at the close 

 of the present year. 



In 1913 the legislature also established a school of forestry as a depart- 

 ment of the university. This enables the university to offer two years of 

 professional training, following three years of study of those subjects which 

 naturally underlie an education in technical forestry. Missoula

Lines adjacent country also affords opportunities for the prac- 



tical application of fores^try in remunerative employment. 



The United States Forest Service has district headquarters 

 in Missoula, and its practical operations are available for study the year 

 round, and assistance of its expert officers is g^ven in lectures and other 

 ways of practical value to the studenit of forestry. The university is also 

 lookingr to the estab- 

 lishment of a course 

 in lumbering- and for- 

 est management for 

 training men to organ- 

 ize and conduct large 

 operaltions in logging 

 and milling, and at the 

 same time to give ef- 

 ficient management to 

 extensive tracts of for- 

 est land. 



Space cannot here be 

 given to a resume of 

 all the various activities 



of the university, but brief mention should be made of its largely attended 



summer school at Missoula, and particularly of its bioilogical station on 



the eastern shore of Flathead lake. Hiere the universty owns nearly ninety 



acres of land, and maintains a biolog-ical laboratory, and for six weeks 



every summer gives courses in varous biological subjects. 



The university also includes a School of Pharmacy, and offers, besides, 

 various courses of correspondence study. 



The Montana Agricultural College which has ailready completed its 

 twentieth year, is located in the heart of the world-famed Gallatin valley,
