18 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

generosity of George H. Myers the forest library of the late 
Dr. Robert Hartig was purchased and donated to the School. 
This collection contained fifteen hundred books and pamphlets 
representing the accumulation of many years. It is particularly 
rich in German periodicals and early books and pamphlets on 
forestry, many of which are long out of print and difficult to 
obtain. 
For: the first time the spring field work of the regular course 
was conducted at Milford, with Mr. Marston and Austin Cary, 
instructors. It later became apparent that it would be necessary 
to rearrange the curriculum and increase the amount of field 
work in order to realize more fully the object of instruction. 
During the winter an announcement was published of proposed 
changes in the curriculum. Experience had shown that the 
courses in forest mensuration and silviculture could not be 
satisfactorily taught without more field work. It became neces- 
sary to add to the Junior year a term wholly devoted to field 
work. Accordingly, the Junior year in 1904 opened at Milford 
at the same time asthe summer school. 
Heretofore the tuition for the Junior and Senior years was 
one hundred dollars each. Beginning in July, 1904, it was raised 
to one hundred and fifty dollars for the Junior year, and a year 
later to one hundred and twenty-five dollars for the Senior year. 
To the present no further changes in tuition charges have been 
made. 
Thereafter the Junior class met at the School camp at Milford 
with the summer school students. The field and classroom work 
of the two classes, however, were wholly distinct and usually 
under separate instructors. The session of the summer school 
was seven weeks as in, the previous year, but the regular term 
continued three weeks longer. Two distinct bodies of students 
tented in the same encampment and dined together, but the 
character of the instruction was necessarily wholly different. 
1904-1905 
Under this new arrangement the Junior courses in the sum- 
mer of 1904 were given by Director Graves, assisted by E. E. 
Carter, M.F. ’04. Mr. Toumey was assisted by A. H. Graves 
in carrying the work of the summer school. The work with
