THE COURSE IN FORESTRY

 forestry their profession, are expected to adopt approximately 

 the following programme of studies, take course one in forestry

 fourth, or senior, year. By doing so they may obtain a bachelor's 

 degree at the end of that year ; and then, by an additional year's 

 work in forestry, acquire the Master's Degree in Forestry. 



In addition to the special work in forestry and allied sub- 

 jects, the following fundamental and supplementary studies 

 should be completed hy the candidates for the degree in forestry ; 



French, Courses i and 2, eight hours.
