184 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

spent three of the most enjoyable years of my life working 
under Supervisor Burt P. Kirkland and helping him to bring 
this great Pacific Coast Forest under forest management. Did 
the work common to most forest assistants and in addition aided 
in preparing the provisional working plan for the forest made 
in 1909 and 1910. A year and a half after assignment to the 
forest was made deputy supervisor, which position was, held 
until March, 1911, when I resigned to take charge of the sur- 
veying and construction of railroad lines for the Standard 
Railway & Timber Company, one of the largest operating 
timber companies in Washington. Here an interesting and 
enjoyable summer was spent until October, 1911, when a call 
came to take a chair of assistant professor of forestry at the 
Forest School of the University of Washington, to give mensura- 
tion courses and to establish a course in logging engineering.
