FOREWORD. 



Another autumn time has rolled around. Once again the doors of the For- 

 estry Department of Michigan are thrown open for business; once more the For- 

 estry Club is starting upon another year's course; and once again the University 

 of Michigan Forester comes forth to greet the students of the Forestry Depart- 

 ment, the alumni of this school, and each and every person interested in the school 

 or its work. 



This edition of the Forester will be the fourteenth one published since its in- 

 auspicious start in June, 1910. On our front cover in heavy type look at it is the 

 whole story abbreviated, Vol. V. No. i. We think we are getting up in the 

 world and we feel big, bigger than ever before. Last year the Forester took un- 

 to itself a new form of cover ; this year we are going to have a new and perma- 

 nent decoration for that green cover watch for it in the next issue. Last year 

 the able editors increased the size of the book; we hope to keep adding on still 

 more. It may seem a slow process but it is to be remembered that great oaks from 

 little acorns grow, and the annual growth of the best and largest trees is very 

 little. 



We want especially to keep in touch with the *men in the field, and to keep 

 them in touch with the school. If there are any of the old men out in the field, 

 to whom Professor Roth has not a string attached, they must be hidden off in 

 the most remote corners of the earth. 



He seems to be able to keep a line on everybody. But remember he is de- 

 pendent on you for all of his information ! Write and tell him how you are get- 

 ting along. Write often the oftener, the better. Let us hear from YOU ! 

 Write] Write!! WRITE!!!
