 PROFESSOR WALTER MULFORD WILL SPEAK ON 

 "OUR PROFESSION." 



years. Our problem is to harvest in the 

 most economical way the immense crop 

 of largely inaccessible timber we now 

 have. Of no use to me: Botany as 

 taught at Michigan. How much did I 

 get out of course? Fifty percent of 

 value. Need more practical work and 

 less scientific. Should see actual log- 

 ging and sawmill practice, and more 

 practice in intensive reconnaissance." 



M. N. S. : "No criticism to make ; all 

 the courses were good. Would have 

 taken more Engineering and more field 

 experience. Men should get six months 

 in Forestry and a year with an up-to- 

 date lumber company." 



R. A. S. : "All Forestry courses are 

 necessary; Surveying, Engineering and 

 Mathematics helpful and necessary ; Ger- 

 man and French, etc. are useless ; would 

 cut these courses out. Men should get 

 experience in using the axe and saw, 

 handling horses, reconnaissance and sur- 

 vey, sawmill and ranch work. Would 

 lay particular stress on Surveying, Men- 

 suration, and Logging. For field work 

 would take a rather rough mountain 

 tract, and actually do all the work, in- 

 cluding all surveying, etc." 



S. W. S. : "Have never used my Ger- 

 man. Should make Entomology apply 



more to bark-beetles; lay more stress 

 on forest sanitation; give a regular 

 course in Protection of forest from fire, 

 and add a complete course in Logging 

 Engineering, with field work. For my 

 work I should have added more Law and 

 Rhetoric. For experience, men should 

 learn to saddle, ride, and pack; use a 

 compass, recognize blazes and section 

 corners, and cook in the open. A year 

 as District Ranger is O. K. What 

 courses have proven of no use? None 

 of them; have used all of them at some 

 time." 



W. W. W. : "How much did I get 

 out of courses other than Forestry? A 

 great deal. A general Law course would 

 be excellent, but merely a technical Law 

 subject here and there is of little use. 

 Modern language is of no direct use as 

 yet, but having it has been helpful and 

 would advise others to take them. 

 Would increase work in Biology, Rhe- 

 toric, Political Economy, etc., to make 

 men broader than their profession. 

 Would add one full year more field 

 work in Utilization, and would have the 

 men not merely visit mills and lumber 

 camps, but work in these operations. 

 Would not cut down the course but add 

 a full year to Utilization, to enable 



For our new cover decoration we are indebted to Loyd G. Horn- 

 by and Samuel L. Holmes '15 Architect, who together planned and 

 designed it. We think it fills the bill, and we hope that you like it, for 

 the two men named worked hard in drawing up the design. It is 

 not as simple a task as it might seem to find an appropriate decora- 

 tion for this publication, and we commend this one to you with the 

 hope that it meets with your approval.
