The Summer Term 



HE summer term was organized to give opportu- 

 nity to the prospective foresters to get in touch 

 with actual field conditions while carrying on cer- 

 tain phases of the technical forestry work. The first 



session in 1909 

 was of four weeks 

 and was held at 

 the College, the 

 near-hy woodlots 

 being used as a 

 working field. 

 The second and 

 third sessions in 

 1910 and 1911 

 were held at Hig- 

 gins Lake, Ros- 

 common County 

 and DeWard, 

 Crawford County, 

 each for a period 

 of approximately 

 eight weeks. 



This 1912 ses- 

 sion was the 

 fourth and was 

 held on the hold- 

 ings of the Boyne 

 City Lumber 

 Company of 

 Boyne City ,Char- 



levoix County. Each term, the courses given have been strictly techni- 

 cal, no effort having been made to introduce so-called nature studies 

 or to popularize. The aim has been to meet the needs of the profes- 

 sional forestry student.
