Harvard Students to Work in New Hampshire 



Blue Mountain Forest Park, in Sullivan 

 County, New Hampshire, has been made 

 available for the Harvard School of For- 

 estry. This is the famous Corbin property, 

 where for years the finest buffalo herd in 

 the United States was maintained. The 

 tract, which covers about 30,000 acres, has 

 for some years been under careful manage- 

 ment by forestry methods and offers an ex- 

 cellent opportunity for practicing the rougher 

 methods used in unorganized country. 



Through the courtesy of the owners, the 

 second-year students of forestry will go to 

 the park this month for the first field work. 



This is an important addition to the al- 

 ready admirable facilities for practical work 

 of the Harvard Forest at Petersham. 



Forestry Education in Louisiana 



Governor Sanders, in his message to the 

 general assembly, urges that the law au- 

 thorizing a chair of forestry in the state 

 university be made effective. In view of the 

 importance of its timber to the state and the 

 rapid destruction which is going on, it seems 

 none too early to begin the education of the 

 students of the university in a science than 

 which none is more important to the state's 

 welfare. 



University of Georgia Summer School 



The Summer camp of the School of For- 

 estrjr of, tKe University of Georgia will open 

 June 20 and close August 20. It will be lo- 

 cated in Alachua County, Florida, on a tract 

 of 50,000 acres that has been placed at the 

 disposal of the school by B. F. Williamson, 

 of Gainesville. Lumbering and turpentine 

 operations are in progress on the tract. Any 

 student of the University of Georgia or any 

 male person eighteen years of age who has 

 sufficient education to profit by the courses 

 may be admitted. The courses of study will 

 include forest botany, silviculture, protec- 

 tion, measurements, lumbering, and utiliza- 

 tion. 



Michigan Agricultural College 



All the junior students in forestry have 

 appointments for the summer in the western 

 national forests. It has been Professor 

 Baker's plan to scatter the class over as large 

 an area as possible in order that the maxi- 

 mum variety of conditions may be studied 

 by members of the class. Each student will 

 study the conditions that he meets with in 

 his location and will make a report before 

 the entire class upon its reassembling at the 

 college next September. The students will 

 receive $75 per month, but the great advan- 

 tage of the work will be the experience.
