I,EIGH J. YOUNG. 



WHITING ALDEN was born at Fort 

 Wayne, Ind., 1887. Entered the U. 

 of M. in 1896; took his A.B. in 1910 

 and his Master in 1911. 



Mr. Alden had four seasons of 

 field work : in Michigan, on the Koot- 

 enay National Forest, in British Co- 

 lumbia, and during the past summer 

 on the Cabinet as regular forest as- 

 sistant. 



Decidedly analytic, runs to brief 

 formula, and just loves to "quiz;" 

 hence he quizzes. 



Received his A.B. in 1909 and Master 

 in 1911. Elected to Sigma Xi. 



Two years' experience with Bell 

 Telephone Company, and various oth- 

 er work. One season in forest work 

 in Ohio, one in Colorado and one in 

 Wyoming. "Honor man" in Michi- 

 gan in civil service for 1911 in spite 

 of the tooth. "Everlastingly at it," 

 seems to be his motto, and he hates 

 a quitter and a bluff. He takes 2l> 

 and 2c and runs the farm as a side 

 line.
