heard from, but promises an art- 

 icle in the near future. 



REYNOLDS Dropped down amongst 

 us during April for a very short 

 stay. 



Michigan men congratulate Drake, 

 Graff, Morse and Spaulding to 

 their promotions of Forest Super- 

 visors. 



WOLFF Is mum, but like his side- 

 partner, Larsen. 



EVANS Is struck on Trinity and 

 bald stock; has hankering for re- 

 connaissance in Chaperral and 

 thinks Benson Surveys are "a 

 cinch." 



HASTINGS Has not been heard 

 from as yet. 



That Forestry Museum 



The school and every Michigan 

 forester is greatly indebted to Pro- 

 fessor Hegner for his enthusiastic 

 and timely word, in the last issue of 

 the Michigan Forester, in behalf of 

 a forestry museum. Every collat- 

 eral science could be more con- 

 cretely and more satisfactorily 

 taught to our budding woodsmen 

 with the aid of such an exhibit. And 

 it is not less important to the tech- 

 nical forestry than to the collateral 

 sciences. Silviculture, Dendrology, 

 Utilization, Mensuration, Manage- 

 ment, all could profit by pictures of 

 our many forest regions, types, con- 

 ditions, methods of treatment and 

 forest work. Dendrology in parti- 

 cular would profit by a collection of 

 specimens of the foliage, fruit, 

 wood, bark, etc., of our forest trees. 

 For while the young students get, 

 in the courses in forest botany, an 

 excellent acquaintance with the trees 

 of the region around Ann Arbor, 

 many of the trees most important 

 to the forester cannot be found in 

 this region. Their study is attempt- 

 ed in the course in Dendrology; but 

 "Seeing is believing," still, and a 



good museum collection would help 

 the course a hundred-fold. 



The Michigan men out in the field 

 are where the material is that we at 

 the school need so much. We ap- 

 preciate how busy me field man is, 

 and how diff.cu.lt it is for him to 

 add such things to nis daily burden, 

 for we hav2 been there ourselves. 

 But divided uo among so many loyal 

 alumni, a little time and effort on 

 the part of each one will secure for 

 the school material which it could 

 not get for itself with years of time 

 and more monev than it ever will 

 have, yet material which is of the 

 utmost value to it. So, whenever a 

 Michigan man sees anything of 

 peculiar interest or value in the 

 course of his work, may he not 

 always keep an eye open for its use- 

 fulness to alma mater,- and send it 

 on, whether it be a photo or actual 

 specimens? We will gladly pay the 

 freight when necessary, and we shall 

 soon have adequate place and space 

 for it. Every man can feel that he 

 is helping the old school to raise 

 the standard and continue to turn 

 out men who shall make her proud 

 of them and they of her.

Farewell Banquet to Prof. Mulford 



On the night of May 17, the Fac- 

 ulty and Forestry students gathered 

 at the Michigan Union for a fare- 

 well banquet to Professor Walter 

 Mulford. This was the largest and 

 most enthusiastic banquet held in the 

 history of the Club. 



The toasts of the evening ex- 

 pressed the sentiments of the occa- 

 sion, which were felt by all. The 

 students presented to Professor 

 Mulford a gold watch as a token of 

 their esteem for their teacher, co- 

 worker and friend.
