During the past month the Forestry Club has experienced 

 some of the most interesting events of the school year. The 

 writer wishes to call attention to the fact that these events 

 were not given the support of the members they deserved. 

 The meetings are not being attended by enough members to 

 warrant the club as large a space in these columns as it might

 up to the fact that it is his duty to make the club all that it 

 should be and attend the meetings regularly.

 propriately called "Itasca Night." It was really no wonder

 those who have visited the state park that there is no place 

 like Itasca. Freshmen are urged to spend the summer there. 



Forestry Club Banquet.

 banquet in the university room of the St. Paul Hotel and un-
