the "hay-horse." Spent one summer in North Wisconsin ats camp- 

 rustler, and finished hig-h school in 1902. He then went to a "prep" 

 school in New York to prepare for Cornell, when that school came to 

 a close, and his plans were upset. Farm work, and "finish" work with 

 a painter -filled up part of the gap. He entered the new school at 

 Michigan tsimply because it was "West," studied forestry, finished in 

 1907; was Assistant, then Deputy (Supervisor on the "Hell Gate" in 

 Montana; returned to Michigan in 1908, to be at once called back into 

 the Service to take charge of the Cheyenne (now Medicine Bow) in 

 Wyoming. In 1911 he was transferred to the Olympic, one of the 

 greatest of all National Forests; a position which he g~ave up only after 





considerable .persuasion and after several flat refusals. Lovejoy be- 

 lieves in getting experience and lived up to it. Farming, "cow-punch- 

 ing-,"' running a steam dredge, work in the woods in Michigan, a whole 

 summer of travel on National Forests, a mix-up with the Butte 

 Smelter business 1 all this gave him the "finish," which he found ne- 

 ceissary and which he applied to convert the Medicine Bow from one 

 of the worst mismanaged forests into the model forest of District 

 No. 2. 



Michigan needed a man with exactly this sort of experience, and 

 Lovejoy has more of it than any other Michigan man. Mr. Lovejoy 

 will take up the courses in Administration of National Forests, Forest 

 Improvement, Foreist Utilization, and also the Treatment of Lodgepole, 

 Red Fir, and species specially well known to him.
