Wliile on the expedition, Quarter Master McDonald gathered in 

 some split wood. Hames found a mirror which was much 

 needed and Roop a Munsey Magazine of 1899. Strange to say, this 

 popular edition contained not a single automobile advertisement. The 

 trip back to camp home was not very enjoyable as neither the bell pole 

 nor the fire wood was resting on springs and there were many bumps 

 in the stones and corduroy. 



After supper the bell was duly mounted in front of the Assembly tent. 



Sunday, July 21st. Sunday in Camp. McDonald roused the 

 Camp by means of the new bell. Professor and Mrs. Pettit and Dr. 

 Shafer arrived from Vanderbilt after breakfast. 



Monday, July 22nd. After an hour's lecture, we continued to 

 scale and compute log volumes by different methods. "Do all compu- 

 tations in the field' was the order, "while the image of the log or tree 

 is clearly before you." Rain in the afternoon and work was taken up 

 on graphical comparisons of volumes by the methods. The ram held 

 off after supper to allow us our usual fire and talk. 



Tuesday, July 23rd. Ram. After a short talk in the classroom, 

 we went to study for examination. Professor Baker could actually 

 not think of a thing for us to do, the only time that such a thing has 

 happened and will probably be the last. 



Wednesday, July 24th. Professor Pettit used the day in a field 

 expedition. 



Thursday, July 25th. Professor Baker gave us a lecture on the 

 methods of constructing volume tables, after which we started for 

 the field to follow the choppers for data. We had dinner with the 

 loggers in the woods and continued to follow the choppers. 



Friday, July 26th. Again we followed the choppers. It was 

 decided by the class around the camp fire, that we work the two 

 remaining Saturday afternoons so as to get off a day earlier. 



Saturday, July 27th. Another day gathering data for volume 

 table construction. Nothing exciting except "Pollock Joe" had a 

 wrestling match with Straw Boss Smith and then cursed Smith 

 because he had "broke my yesterday shirt and my today pants." 

 Prep, then hit "Joe" in the head with a "do not". It made Joe so 

 dizzy that his horse kicked him in the middle of the afternoon. 



Sunday, July 28th. Sunday in Camp. 



Monday, July 29th. -More work on our volume tables. 



Tuesday, July 30th. Examination on lecture work up to date, 

 followed by talk on different methods of cruising. Then worked on 

 height curves. 



Wednesday, July 31st. Lectures on Methods of Cruising with 

 discussion, after which all hands started for Camp 8. 



Thursday, August 1st. Cruising timber on assigned sections 

 adjacent to Camp 8. 



Friday, August 2nd. Another day of cruising. 



Saturday, August 3rd. Back in home camp with a lecture from 

 Mr. R. S. Kellogg on Forest Statistics after which we went back 

 to computing.
