The foresters, he believed, were in 

 a position to send in many valuable 

 specimens from all parts of the 

 country, and he expressed the hope 

 that the men present, when they left 

 the university, would remember their 

 alma mater in this substantial man- 

 ner. 



E. I. Kotok told of the needs of 

 ''The Michigan Forester," and re- 

 ported that the alumni were taking 

 hold of the venture enthusiastically. 

 He read letters from several men in 

 the field, all of whom expressed 

 themselves as being highly pleased 

 with the magazine and offered their 

 continued support. 



Leigh Young, president of the 

 club, was called upon for ''The Im- 

 portance of Hot Air, Especially 

 Presidential Hot Air ;'' Mr. Young 

 said he had only one subject to talk 

 of that wasn't "hot air'' and that 

 was to emphasize the need ol co- 

 operation of every forester in the 

 "doings" of the club. 



A letter from Seward Smith, at 

 present on the San Isabel National 

 Eorest, was read by E. F. McCarthy. 

 The communication gave extracts 

 from Smith's day-book, and con- 

 veyed a definite idea of the nature 

 of a forest assistant's work. 



Frank Mosher read a letter from 

 Louis Larsen, forest assistant on the 

 Stanislaus reserve in California. 

 Larsen expressed himself as being 

 delighted with his present location, 

 and gave some interesting 1 facts con- 



cerning forest conditions in that re- 

 gion. 



Fay Clark responded to "The 

 Troubles of a Married Man," which 

 weren't so much greater than those 

 of the bachelor, in his opinion. He 

 told a thrilling bear story at tnc ex- 

 pense of Howard Green, which re- 

 flected to the latter's credit, however, 

 with respect to his sprinting ability. 



"The Troubles of a Camp Cook" 

 were well related by H. C. Baker. 

 He said that either an excellent dis- 

 position or a profound knowledge of 

 profanity were requisites of a good 

 cook, but while claiming some ef- 

 ficiency in the cooking line, Baker 

 modestly admitted that he didn't 

 qualify with the disposition require- 

 ment. 



"The Firing Line," to which D. C 

 Birch responded, was an excellent 

 discussion of the value of that in- 

 stitution in forestry. The speaker 

 treated it from knowledge received 

 at first hand. 



R. C. Haimbaugh, of the sopho- 

 more class, was called upon to relate 

 his experiences upon the occasion 

 of losing himself last summer in 

 the Big Horn reserve. His explana- 

 tion of the same was seemingly 

 frank, if not lucid. Incidentally 

 Haimbaugh had something to say 

 about Clark and Ramsdell which de- 

 manded some explanations, but the 

 lateness of the hour prevented, and 

 they will have to vindicate them- 

 selves at some future gathering of 

 the club. WEBBER.

 is intended as a basis for the com-
