FOREST SCHOOL NOTES 



UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 



'T'HE total enrollment in eight forestry 

 courses given during the current sem- 

 ester is 243, the courses being as follows : 

 General Forestry, Protection, Mensuration, 

 Logging, Forest Improvements, Forest 

 Finance and Organization, Forest Admin- 

 istration and Policy, Upper Division Con- 

 ference. 



The Forestry Club has held four inte-- 

 esting meetings since last writing. District 

 Forester P. G. Reddington was the guest 

 of honor and gave a very interesting talk 

 on "Some Difficulties and Hardships Met 

 With in Forest Service Field Work." An- 

 sel Hall, '16, of the National Park Service 

 and at present on leave of absence to as- 

 sist in giving the course in General Forest- 

 try, gave a talk on the beauties of the high 

 Sierras in and adjacent to Sequoia Na- 

 tional Park. A remarkably fine set of lan- 

 tern slides added greatly to the enjoyment 

 of the evening. Prof. Bailie of the forest 

 school at Nanking University, gave a most 

 interesting discussion of land tenure and 

 colonization work in China. In his work 

 for the poorer elements in China, Professor 

 Bailie has had some strenuous experiences 

 and almost lost his life while working on 

 his last project. Earl M. Blair gave his 

 report as delegate to the convention of the 

 Intercollegiate Association of Forestry 

 Clubs held recently at New Haven. He 

 reported interesting meetings, royal wel- 

 come from the Yale club members, and a 

 fascinating trip through the Canadian 

 Rockies on his way home. It is with con- 

 siderable pride that the California club, 

 as the youngest member of the association, 

 accepts the honor of being the president 

 club for the coming year. Tom Oliver and 

 Virgil Davis have been elected president 

 and secretary of the I. A. F. C, and we 

 all look forward to meeting a large dele- 

 gation from other clubs here at Berkeley 

 next year. 



Members of the Forestry Club joined 

 forces with the Agricultural Club in doing 

 a day of improvement work on the grounds 

 adjacent to the Agricultural group of 

 buildings. Classes were suspended on two 

 half days and students and faculty got busy 

 with picks, shovels and wheelbarrows. 

 Many trees were planted, including Deodar 

 Cedars, Lebanon Cedars, Cryptomeria Ele- 

 gans, Colorado Blue Spruce and Chinese 

 Juniper. A large number of ornamental 

 shrubs were set between the trees and the 

 work has added materially to the attrac- 

 tiveness of the grounds. 



Prof. D. T. Mason, at present on leave of 

 absence from the University and engaged 

 on income tax matters in Washington, will 



give the commencement address at the Yale 

 Forest School graduating exercises next 

 June. 



Prof. Woodbridge Metcalf has recently 

 returned from a trip to Eucalyptus plan- 

 tations in the Angelus National Forest in 

 company with Forest Examiner E. N. 

 Munns. The erosive effects of even the 

 slight rains of the present season on the 

 large area burned over last summer were 

 noted at several points. A heavy rainfall 

 this winter on this area of 100,000 acres 

 would have caused enormous damage. 



The supervisor's meeting of District 5 

 was notable for the definitely expressed need 

 for more technically trained foresters in 

 California. Members of the Faculty were 

 invited to the meetings and greatly en- 

 joyed this opportunity of meeting many 

 of the Forest Service field men. 



Charter Day, March 23, the 52nd birth- 

 day anniversary of the University of Cal- 

 ifornia was marked this year by the formal 

 inauguration of David P. Barrows as presi- 

 dent. The exercises in the Greek Theatre 

 were very colorful and a large number of 

 Universities were represented by official 

 delegates. 



IDAHO SCHOOL OF FORESTRY 



'T'HE coming of the spring recess marked 

 the termination of the work of the stu- 

 dents in the Forest Ranger Course at the 

 University of Idaho. The School of Fores- 

 ry offered this year, in addition to the Rang- 

 er Course of five months, a short course of 

 three months, aiming to experiment in the 

 relative desirability of the two plans for 

 ranger course students. The registration, 

 although not heavy, was of unusually fine 

 quality, and the work proved so attractive 

 that two of those who came only for the 

 Ranger Course registered for the regular 

 university course in forestry. The plan of 

 offering a Ranger Course of five months 

 instead of three, as followed by several 

 other institutions, has proven so successful 

 that it will be adopted for the future. 



NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF 

 FORESTRY 



'T'HE New York State College of For- 

 estry has for the second time in two 

 years been awarded one of the American- 

 Scandinavian Foundation Fellowships, en- 

 titling the winner to spend a year, expenses 

 paid, in Sweden and Norway. Perry H. 

 Merrill, of the closs of 1917, has been 

 awarded this fellowship, and has resigned 

 as assistant State Forester of Vermont to 

 accept. He leaves about the first of July.
