 various points away from Ann Arbor. During this year, it is 

 also planned to have a series of lectures upon forest utilization 

 and exploitation by prominent lumber men, and other operators, 

 familiar with the commercial side of the subject. 



Only the following courses will be given in the year 1902- '03, 

 and these constitute the technical work in Forestry of the first 

 year. They are to be suooleniented by sufficient work in collateral 

 lines to make a full year's work, and are to be followed by the 

 work of the second year, which will, when established, continue 

 with the higher technical phases of Forestry proper, including 

 courses in Forest Management, Forest Protection, Forest His- 

 tory, etc.
