War Record of Dr. Fernow's Students 



The Faculty of Forestry (Dr. B. 

 E. Fernow, Dean) during the past 

 session has managed to "carry on" 

 \Wth the teaching staff reduced by 

 about 50 per cent, and the enrol- 

 ment of students to the same number 

 as the previous year, namely ten, four 

 of them in the fourth year, all unfit 

 for military service, and five in the 

 first year, too young for enlistment 

 until the end of the session, when 

 two of them had reached the proper 

 age. 



Professor W. N. Millar of the staff, 

 being a citizen of the United States, 

 enlisted immediately after the de- 

 claration of war by that country, 

 joined the tenth Engineers (Forest) 

 Battalion as captain, and is in France 

 directing a logging operation. Prof. 



J. H. White of the staff has accepted 

 employment with the provincial gov- 

 ernment as assistant to Mr. Zavitz, 

 Provincial Forester, with leave to 

 continue his lecture work in part. A 

 thorough re-organization of the fire 

 protective service has been the main 

 work of his department. Dr. Howe 

 of the staff continues this summer his 

 investigation for the Commission of 

 Conservation into the reproduction 

 of cut-over pulpwood lands and is also 

 superintending the establishment of 

 permanent sample plots on whi'-' 

 the development of young tree crops, 

 rate of growth, etc., can be studied in 

 detail from period to period. In 

 this work several of the students are 

 employed. 



Another set of students is employed
