for sixty-two and after dinner there were toasts by prominent 

 lumbermen, statesmen, foresters, students and members of 

 women's clubs. P. C. Records and R. E. Rhoads represented 

 the club on the program. Records gave a short talk on the 

 "Purposes of the Forestry Club," and Rhoads followed with 

 a talk on "The Student's Viewpoint of Forestry." The event 

 was one of interest to all who attended. It is regretted that 

 there were not more of the club members present. 



During the sessions of the Minnesota Forestry Association 

 in St. Paul, March 24 and 25, and students in the Forestry 

 College were excused from classes and nearly every student 

 attended the meetings. We are agreed to do all we can to 

 help pass the proposed amendment for state forests. 



Professor Wendell Talks on Fish and Game. 

 The small attendance at the meeting on April 1st was dis- 

 couraging. Those who were absent missed a good talk on 

 fish and game by Professor Wendell of Hamline University. 

 Professor Wendell gave a complete discussion on the rela- 

 tion of game to the forests and advocated the protection and 

 proper care of game, just as foresters advocate the proper 

 care and protection of forests. It was Mr. Wendell's idea 

 that the protection of game was the forester's duty because 

 he is most closely associated with the animals in the woods. 

 Professor Wendell said that our game supply was rapidly 

 decreasing and that unless there is some step taken toward 

 protection there will eventually be an end to fur trading. In 

 conclusion the speaker gave some interesting information in 

 regard to trapping and fur farming. The lecture was very 

 beneficial. 



Election of Officers. 



Owing to the fact that there were not enough members at 

 the regular meeting on April 1 the election of officers was 

 postponed to a special meeting in the forestry library on 

 April 8. At this short meeting the following officers were 

 elected for the next term: C. Hawkinson, President; R. 

 Rhoads, Vice President; Frank Dunn, Treasurer; L. Crane, 

 Secretary; T. P. West and P. Blake were elected as the board 

 of directors. No other business was transacted.
