30 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

in attendance, first noticeable in the previous year’s class and 
still more conspicuous in the enrollment for the year 1912-13, 
was due to two fundamental causes: first, the continued increase 
in the facilities for forestry education in the United States; . 
second, the keener competition for profitable employment after 
graduation. To what extent these conditions will affect future 
attendance at the school it is uncertain. Future classes are likely 
to be smaller and to include a constantly increasing number of 
students from other schools who come to Yale to complete their 
technical training. 
Shortly after the organization of the alumni association in 
December, 1911, a movement was set on foot to publish a quar- 
terly to be known as the Yale Forest School News. The grad- 
uate Advisory Board undertook the financing and management 
of the proposed publication. The first number of this new 
quarterly appeared in January, 1913, with the following officers 
in charge: 
Editor, W. B. Greeley, M.F. ’o4. 
Alumni notes, H. H. Chapman, M.F. ’o4. 
Managing editor, S. J. Record, M.F. ’o5. 
The Yale Forest School News was well received from the first. 
It serves a much needed purpose as a medium for communication 
between the alumni and the officers of instruction. 
Bulletin 2, “Prolonging the Cut of Southern Pine,” by 
Messrs. Chapman and Bryant, was published in February, 1913. 
The field work of the Senior class was conducted at Warren, 
Ark., and the spring field work of the Junior class in the 
Adirondack Mountains. 
In June, 1913, six hundred and twenty-five acres of land at 
Keene, N. H., were presented to the School by George H. Myers, 
M.F. ’o2, as the nucleus for a School forest. 
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE 
This historical sketch of the development of the Yale Forest 
School from its organization until the close of the school year 
in June, 1913, would not be complete without a brief statement 
relating to its outlook for the future. As stated in the address
