UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON 

 COLLEGE OF FORESTRY AND 

 LUMBERING 

 PREPARATION for the All-Engineers 

 and Foresters "Open House," held April 

 22-24, has occupied the attention of the 

 Forest Club, during the past quarter. The 

 work of the Forest School and a graphic 

 portrayal of the fields of logging and lum- 

 bering, forest products, and forestry was 

 presented to the 18,000 visitors who at- 

 tended the "Open House." A model forest 

 under management with growing trees 

 from the Forest Nursery representing the 

 different age classes and miniature steam 

 logging operations and sawmill in actual 

 operation attracted considerable atten- 

 tion. A model paper and pulp mill 

 was also being constructed. Forest 

 products, wood preservation, timber test- 

 ing, dendrology and wood technology ex- 

 hibits were displayed. The "Open House" 

 was abandoned during the period of the 

 war, but the Foresters won the prize for 

 the best exhibition at the last three held, 

 and are making a diligent effort to repeat 

 their success this year. 



The Forest Club has had the opportunity 

 of hearing some exceptional talks by a 

 number of prominent authorities. At the 

 meeting of February 17, Mr. R. L. Fromme, 

 District Forest Inspector of Recreation and 

 Game, told of the project of introducing 

 Alaskan moose and mountain goats into 

 the Olympic National Forest. Mr. Shirl 

 Blalock, district office manager of the 

 United States Bureau of Foreign and 

 Domestic Commerce, spoke on lumber ex- 

 porting, the evening of February 24. Mr. 

 William M. Hall, of Hall-Kellogg, Chicago, 

 who has an international reputation as a 

 forester, spoke on the proposed forest land 

 policy and its importance to the states of 

 the Pacific Northwest. 



Mr. S. W. Barker, premier motor truck 

 logging authority on the Pacific Coast, gave 

 a highly entertaining and instructive talk 

 on motor truck logging. Motion pictures 

 of Mr. Barker's operations near Lake 

 Whatcom gave added interest to the ad- 

 dress. Road construction, unloading, care 

 of trucks, capital required and financing 

 were discussed in detail. 



Sufficient funds were raised in the Col- 

 lege of Forestry and Lumbering itself to 

 send R. M. Smith as a delegate to the In- 

 tercollegiate Association of Forest Clubs 

 convention at New Haven. Mr. Smith 

 carried proxy votes fiom the Forest Clubs 

 at the University of Idaho, Montana and 

 Minnesota. 



The Short Course at the College of For- 

 estry and Lumbering, held during the win-, 

 ter quarter, was attended by 22 men, most 

 of them having considerable experience 



already in the lumbering industry and the 

 Forest Service. Five Canadians were reg- 

 istered for the Short Course. 



An 8-reel motion picture show given at 

 one of the regular Forest Club meetings 

 attracted wide-spread attention on the 

 campus and many students from other de- 

 partments were present. Accident preven- 

 tion in logging camps and sawmills was 

 the subject of the film, which was taken 

 for the California Accident Insurance Com- 

 mission. A film showing the manufacture 

 of matches was also shown. 



A number of responsible logging engin- 

 eering positions have recently been taken 

 by graduates of the school. George 

 O'Brien, '18, has accepted the position of 

 logging engineer with the Capilano Timber 

 Company, at North Vancouver, British 

 Columbia. J. W. Ottestad, '12, formerly 

 with the C. O. Mengel Company, Axim, 

 Gold Coast, South Africa, is now engineer 

 for the Three Lakes Lumber Company, 

 Three Lakes, Washington. Harry M. Lind, 

 '19, is assistant engineer with the George 

 Palmer Lumber Company, Vincent, Oregon. 

 Ervin Rengstorff, '15, is logging engineer 

 for the same company. Joseph G. G. Mor- 

 gan, '13, has accepted a position as super- 

 intendent of construction for the K. & M. 

 Logging Company, Independence, Wash- 

 ington. This camp was formerly operated 

 by Wilson Brothers, of Aberdeen. 



George Hutton, '15, has established a 

 veneer mill at Olympia, Washington, to 

 specialize in the production of veneers from 

 alder, black cottonwood, hemlock, spruce 

 and fir. 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



''FHERE never was a period since the 

 organization of the School of Forestry 

 at Yale when so many inquiries have been 

 received from timberland owners and cor- 

 porations regarding trained foresters. It 

 has been our custom to secure summer 

 positions for men who are in the progress 

 of their professional training. This year 

 for the first time not more than one-tenth 

 of the positions available for summer work 

 and at higher wages than ever before, can 

 be filled. There are also a large number 

 of inquiries for foresters completing their 

 professional training and good positions 

 are available for every man who wants to 

 enter private work after the completion of 

 his training. 



The summer camp of the Yale School of 

 Forestry will open at Milford, July i, and 

 will be in charge of Professor R. C. Haw- 

 ley. Arrangements are made to enter stu- 

 dents for the regular two year technical 

 course, leading to the degree of Master of 

 Forestry, and for a certain number of 

 special students and for research students.
