FOREWORD. 



With this, the tenth issue of the Michigan Forester, is begun the 

 fourth volume of the magazine published 'by the Forestry Clu'b, and 

 devoted to the publication of news of men in the field and news of 

 the school. The editors who are now in charge wish to announce that 

 they intend following the same policies in its publication as have been 

 used in the past, and so far as they are able, including all that may 

 be useful and interesting, concerning events in the School, and newis 

 of the Alumni. It is our aim to make this publication as strong a link 

 as possible between the faculty, the students, and the men in the field. 

 In short, it is to be the Michigan Foresters' "clearing house" of newis. 



Since our success depends so largely upon the support of you men 

 in the field, we need your help. Any piece of news, any interesting 

 event, any change of address or position we need them all to make 

 our newis complete and up-to-date. You are interested in the other 

 boys they are just as interested in you; so don't hesitate to write us 

 about yourself. Nobody knows better than you how good it feels to 

 hear about your old pals, when you're off in the woods alone, or with 

 more or less uncongenial company. Come across with the newis, and 

 we'll do our part. 



Then, too, we need your advice and suggestions. Don't hesitate 

 to criticise we won't mind; besides the Forester is primarily your 

 magazine, and then ours. 



And lastly, but by no meams least, we need your $1.00. This may 

 be made payable to G. W. Walsh, 511 Monroe St., Ann Arbor, Mich.
