DISCUSSION. 

 Following the Report of the Committee on a Four-Year Undergraduate Course, 



In answer to a question from Prof. Belyea, of Syracuse, as to the reason oi 

 the incorporation of inorganic chemistry in the sophomore year, Prof. Hosmer 

 stated that this was a required subject in most colleges, and, further, that it 

 was a prerequisite for organic chemistry. The chairman called for a show of 

 hands as to whether organic chemistry should be included in a four-year under- 

 graduate course in forestry ; 17 ayes, 10 noes.
