remainder there and part of the west 

 elevation ; and Psychology has the south- 

 west corner. 



Forestry is to be allotted about 27,000 

 square feet of floor space, that is, four 

 large rooms about 24x60, one directly 

 above the other, facing the Chemistry 

 Building; and across the corridor from 

 each of these are four more larger 

 rooms, about 24x80, one on each floor 

 facing the court. This space of eight 

 large rooms, two to each floor, is to be 

 divided among the different branches of 

 Forestry, somewhat as follows : In the 

 basement on one side of the corridor 

 will be the wood technology testing lab- 

 oratory ; on the other side the silvicul- 

 ture and silvics lab. On the first floor 

 Professor Roth will have his office and 

 a large lecture room; and opposite this 

 Young will have an office, and his lec- 

 ture room for mensuration and wood 

 technology. On the second floor one 

 room will be used for dendrology 

 laboratory, and will contain the working 

 collections of cones, seeds, etc.; adjoin- 

 ing that will be a lecture room for sil- 

 vics, silviculture and dendrology. The 



large space on the opposite side of the 

 corridor will be divided into four rooms, 

 three, 24x24, fitted for research work, 

 and one 12x24 for Sponsler's office. The 

 third floor will have a large room for 

 mensuration and wood technology lab- 

 oratory, and opposite this the 8o-foot 

 space will be made into three rooms, a 

 seminar room, an office for Lovejoy, and 

 a large lecture room for his courses in 

 utilization, protection and administra- 

 tion. 



This arrangement gives each instruc- 

 tor a lecture room and an office adjoin- 

 ing it and keeps one kind of work to 

 its particular room. There will be in 

 ill, four lecture rooms one large enough 

 to seat 150 people, and three with a ca- 

 pacity of about 40 or 50; four good- 

 sized laboratory rooms for class work 

 and three small ones for research work. 



It is expected that the building will 

 be completed in time for use in the fall 

 of 1915. When that time comes, Michi- 

 gan Forestry will have a home as good 

 as any in the country.

THE OPENER. 



Before what was probably the largest 

 crowd that has ever attended a Forestry 

 Club meeting in old '407' up among the 

 eaves, Professor Roth gave the opening 

 talk of the year on the occasion of the 

 first meeting of the Club this fall, on the 

 evening of October 8. The room was 

 filled to the full and a goodly number 

 stood up along the wall in the back. The 

 upperclassmen turned out almost to a 

 man, but even more encouraging was 

 the presence of a large score of fresh- 

 men and sophomores. It was to the new 

 men in particular that Professor Roth 

 talked, and if his enthusiasm and entire 



confidence in the future of Forestry did 

 not completely win over and convince 

 every one of the younger men present, 

 the fault lay in the man and no where 

 else. Some of the underclassmen came 

 up to the meeting hesitatingly, uncertain 

 as to plans for the future ; most of them 

 went away certain as to those plans, or 

 at least thinking very,very hard upon 

 the plans. Nearly all of the freshmen 

 came up with a Missouri air ; they want- 

 ed to "be shown." They "were shown." 

 It was a rouser that speech and one 

 such as only Professor Roth can make. 

 "Just now we have a lot of calamity
