At the opening of the summer term in I910 it became apparent 
that an increasing number of men were being drawn from other 
institutions where forestry was taught. During the year five 
graduates in forestry from other schools were in attendance. 
Twenty-six states and foreign countries were represented in the 
student body, which was the same as in the previous year. No 
change inthe distribution of the student body, due to the rapid 
development of forest schools and departments of forestry else- 
where in the country, was apparent. With the beginning of the 
year the curriculum was rearranged and all the courses became 
technical in character. The following changes were made in the 
teaching staff: Messrs. Chapman and Bryant were made full 
professors, S. J. Record was promoted to be assistant professor 
and W. O. Filley resigned and accepted the position of assistant 
forester of Connecticut. 
The Senior field work was conducted at Trinity, Texas. The 
unusually large class made it necessary to employ two temporary 
field assistants, C. A. Hoar, M.F. ’10, and Harold Fay, M.F. ‘to. 
Nearly three years previous the task of increasing the 
resources of the School by five hundred thousand dollars was 
undertaken. The large increase in the number of students made 
the need of a new building almost imperative. Money was 
needed for salary increases and for experimental work and pub- 
lications. At the close of the year the total receipts toward this 
fund were two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. At the end 
of the year forty-three men completed the course and received 
the degree Master of Forestry. This is the largest number that 
received the degree in a single year since the organization of the 
School.
