FERRY BOTANICAL FELLOWSHIP. 



Through the liberality of Hon. D. M. Ferry of Detroit a Bo- 

 tanical Fellowship amounting to $500 is maintained at the Uni- 

 versity of Michigan. Candidates for this fellowship must be 

 graduates of this or some other university who have given evi- 

 dence of capacity for research, preferably by publication of re- 

 sults of investigation, though this is not an absolute requirement. 

 The present holder of the Fellowship is Mr. Joseph W. T. Duvel, 

 whose work on conditions affecting the germination of seeds has 

 been accepted for publication by the U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture. 



FORESTRY. 



The recent awakening to an interest in forestry has created a 

 demand for men who shall assume the control of forests and 

 lands, and make them more productive and their production more 

 permanent. 



While at the present time the demand for such men is mainly 

 from the departments of the United States government having 

 in charge the work of caring for the forest reservations in the 

 public domain, and of conducting investigations upon the actual 

 timber resources of the country, the great attention which is be- 

 ing given to forestry problems by state governments and by indi- 

 viduals indicates that very soon there will arise a call from these 

 sources for men well trained in forestry science and practice.
