the University of Munich. He entered 

 the then Division of Forestry in 1901, 

 and for ten years was continuously con- 

 nected with scientific and practical work 

 in the Government Service. In 190-i 

 he took charge of Forestry at the Iowa 

 State College, developing the work 

 there, and in 1907 took charge of the 

 Department of Forestry at the Pennsyl- 

 vania State College. 



In the fall of 1911, to meet immediate 

 need for instructional work in Forestry, 

 Mr. E. E. McCarthy, a graduate of the 

 Forest School at Ann Arbor, came to 

 the College as Assistant Professor of 

 Forestry, and during the past year has 

 been giving courses in Dendrology, 

 Mensuration and Silviculture. He re- 

 mains at the College under the newer 

 organization and will have charge of 

 the work in Dendrology and Wood 

 Technology. 



Mr. John W. Stephen, who was 

 graduated from the Forest School of 

 the University of Michigan and who 



spent two years in charge of State 

 Forest Lands in Northern Michigan, 

 came to the State Conservation Com- 

 mission in 1908, as a Forester and de- 

 veloped the extensive State Nursery at 

 Salamanca. He took up work with the 

 College on April 15th, as Assistant Pro- 

 fessor of Silviculture, and will have 

 direct charge of the Forest Nursery 

 being developed at the Forest Experi- 

 ment Station, and will develop during 

 the coming spring a demonstration 

 planting on the State Fair Grounds. 

 He will have charge also of such ex- 

 tension work as the College does in 

 reforestation of waste lands in the State.
