of previous years as well as on the 

 bright outlook of the one upon which 

 it was then starting. He commented 

 upon the good spirit shown by Mich- 

 igan foresters, and asked that the 

 men out in the "brush" be not for- 

 gotten by the men in school. In this 

 connection he pointed out how much 

 the men in the field have helped to 

 build up the name of the school. He 

 went on to speak of the advantages 

 of the life out-of-doors into which 

 forestry leads a man. In commenting 

 on the statement that Michigan men 

 are snobs in the field, he showed 

 how conditions on the Michigan 

 Campus are just the opposite, and 

 offered the belief that such a state- 

 ment or impression was entirely 

 erroneous. 



He went on to show that there is 

 still plenty of room for men in the 

 profession, and room at the top. "But 

 you must have faith," he said, "faith 

 in your profession, in your work, in 

 yourself and in all that you under- 

 take. Faith is a large part of the 

 Michigan man. When he plants, he 

 has faith in it. He knows that years 

 from now the harvest will be cut by 

 others." He pointed out the advisa- 

 bility and possibility of ownership of 

 forests by young foresters, and show- 

 ed the opportunities for such own- 

 ership today. 



In conclusion, he said, "I hope that 

 the Forestry Field Day will come 

 around for many years with all the 



brightness that is shown here today." 

 He then introduced Regent Beal as 

 the "one man who has stuck by the 

 Forestry Department, worked hard 

 and succeeded in getting our new 

 building." 



Regent Beal explained how Regent 

 Hill who helped obtain the seventy 

 acres for the Forestry Farm, had 

 made a large part of his money in 

 the woods, and had had a great in- 

 terest in this kind of work. He em- 

 phasized the point that every man go 

 out in the field in his junior year, in 

 order to understand better what fol- 

 lows in his course. He commented 

 upon the enthusiasm of the Forestry 

 Department, and said he believed that 

 no other department in the University 

 had quite as much of it. 



Saturday evening was another even- 

 ing of harmony and a camp fire, and 

 Sunday was a day of rest. A number 

 of the men went in to town Saturday 

 night but another delegation came out, 

 which helped to balance the crowd up 

 somewhat. The bunch which stayed 

 out over Sunday night packed Monday 

 morning and finally arrived around at 

 the class rooms when the clock was 

 striking ten. Fine weather, as a 

 whole, no accidents, a snappy pro- 

 gram, and good eats featured this fifth 

 of the Field Days; and moreover with 

 its present Field Day fund, the Club 

 had nothing to worry about in a finan- 

 cial way. 



THE EXHIBIT. 



The programs or guide folders an- 

 nounced it as the "Second Annual 

 Exhibition of the Departments of 

 Civil, Marine, Electrical, Mechanical, 

 Chemical Engineering and the De- 

 partments of Architecture and Fores- 

 try." They rather tacked the De- 

 partment of Forestry on the end so 

 to speak. And in fact it was rather 



an incidental to the big Engineering 

 Exhbiit, but it was an extremely big 

 incidental, also a very popular one. 

 The whole show took place Thursday 

 and Friday May 14th and 15th, and 

 the exhibits of the different depart- 

 ments were scattered all around the 

 Engineering Building, the Engineer- 

 ing Shops, and the Chemistry Build-
