iessor Roth, Prof. Hill and a number 

 of the upperclassmen. We would 

 like to print the joke told on Pro- 

 fessor Roth, but he says it was all 

 untrue and threatens libel if we use it. 



An innovation is being experimented 

 with in the club this year, and if the 

 first smoker can be taken as a cri- 

 terion, it will be a great success. The 

 members of the club have been divi- 

 ded into five groups, each group be- 

 ing captained by one of the follow- 

 ing: "Mike" Sweeney, E. M. Bruner, 

 Don Knapp, Norman Scherer and F. 

 A. Wegner. Each group is to have 

 -charge of a smoker during the year, 

 besides working on other club activi- 

 ties. 



According to statistics compiled by 

 C. P. Cronk, there are enrolled in the 

 University this year 150 foresters, 79 

 of whom are in the forestry courses 

 this semester, the other 71 taking the 

 preparatory subjects. Twenty- four 

 men are taking graduate work and 28 

 :are taking senior work. 



The officers of the club for the year 

 1911-1912, elected last June are: 

 President, H. Grossman ; vice-presi- 

 dent, Fay Clark; secretary, T. J. 

 Starker ; treasurer, B. T. Smith. The 

 members of the executive commit- 

 tee are: C. P. Cronk, L. E. Daniels, 



Charles Kollman, assistant ranger 

 during the summer on the Sopris 

 National Forest in Colorado, is regis- 

 tered in the forestry department this 

 year. 



The forestry department head- 

 quarters have again been on the move, 

 and we are now as far east on the 

 campus as we can go. Starting in 

 at West hall the first move was to 

 room 401, north wing, University 

 "hall. Then last year we were given 



the use of a large room in the Econ- 

 omics building for wood technology, 

 and mensuration laboratory work. 

 We also had the use of a recitation 

 room in the new Engineering build- 

 ing. The department proper is now 

 lodged in the new Engineering build- 

 ing, and old room 401 has been en- 

 tirely forsaken by the foresters. A 

 large room on the fourth floor of 

 the Engineering building serves both 

 as a recitation room and as a meet- 

 ing place of the club. Our smokers 

 will also be held there. Adjoining 

 this room is our very own library, 

 in which room Prof. Roth also has 

 his office. Prof. Hills' office and the 

 wood technology and mensuration 

 laboratory are still located in the base- 

 ment of the Economics building. 



Professor C. T. Johnston of the de- 

 partment of engineering comes here 

 from the West, and knows the West 

 knows the great mountains and 

 their needs and also knows that the 

 Michigan boys are in the front rank 

 of the faithful men who have should- 

 ered the task of protecting the great 

 mountain forests of our country. 

 Accordingly Prof. Johnston is re- 

 organizing the entire course in sur- 

 veying. In the future Course 10 

 drops out, all the drawing work goes 

 into Course 5, and there are added 

 three more courses, making a total of 

 14 hours surveying work and includ- 

 ing, besides the ordinary land survey- 

 ing and map work, the adjustment of 

 instruments, azimuth, triangulation, 

 railway and earthwork, construction 

 of bridges, etc. Better come back 

 and get a new deal on surveying. The 

 thanks of the school to Prof. Johns- 

 ton, and don't forget our friend 

 Schmutz. 



Summer Work 



Many Michigan foresters were in the 

 field during the past summer. Here- 

 with is appended a list of the loca- 

 tions of the "cubs :" 



C. P. Cronk spent the summer and 

 also the past year as ranger on the 

 Siuslaw forest in Oregon, doing a 

 variety of work.
