EDUCATION IN FORESTRY. 



11 



The curriculum recoin in ended by the committee is in three parts: (1) The 

 subjects to which at least four members of the committee have agreed. These 

 are set forth in schedule form. (2) Supplementary subjects which some mem- 

 bers of the committee feel should be included somewhere in the forestry course, 

 if not indeed in stated years. These are listed as recommended electives. 

 (3) A longer list of subjects from which, depending on the desires of the indi- 

 vidual student, selection could be made, under faculty supervision, in choosing 

 electives. This list is called suggested electives. 



Had the committee been able to meet in person and discuss this matter, the 

 hrst list might have been more extended ; also, further subjects might have 

 been mentioned as suitable for election. 



The recommended curriculum is as follows:
