Sierra Club Bulletin 



"The Influence of Our energetic fellow member, Ford Ashman 

 THE College Spirit on Carpenter, has just published another Httle vol- 

 Practical Problems ume which is packed full of sprightly wisdom 

 and suggestive thought. Its contents were 

 prepared as a baccalaureate address for Whittier College, which be- 

 stowed upon him the degree of LL. D. He discusses particularly the 

 personal qualities of reliability and efficiency which win recognition in 

 all walks of life. The author is a keen observer and has drawn his 

 illustrations from many fields of human thought and endeavor. The 

 book is especially to be recommended to those who are inclined to dis- 

 parage the value of a college education. It has the ring of sane en- 

 thusiasm for high ideals, and ought to do something to recruit the ranks 

 of those who devote their lives to efficient service of the commonwealth.

"MAZAMA"t The new issue of the bulletin of the Mazama Club con- 

 tains many articles of interest. The 1912 and 1913 

 outings on Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams are chronicled by Beatrice Young. 

 Professor W. D. Lyman writes of "Indian Myths of Mt. Adams"; the 

 club's president, Mr. H. H. Prouty, contributes "A Climb on Mt. Rob- 

 son," and Mr. John A. Lee tells of the "Mountaineer Outing in the 

 Olympics." Other interesting papers are by Dr. J. H. Huddleson, Jr., 

 Walter Scott McBride and Dr. C. Barck. M. R. P. 



"The Mountaineer "t The Second Olympic Number of the Moun- 

 taineer is devoted mainly to this little-known 

 range, though articles on "The Dolomites," by A. H. Albertson, and 

 "The Ascent of Whitehorse," by S. V. Bryant, also appear. The 1913 

 outing is fully chronicled by Gertrude Streator. Professor E. S. Meany, 

 the president of the Mountaineers, contributes a poem and an article on 

 "The Olympics in History and Legend." R. L. Fromme writes of "The 

 Olympic National Forests." Hugh Elmer Brown, J. H. Weer, Winona 

 Bailey, M. R. Parsons, and Hazel Burroughs contribute. M. R. P. 



The January, 1914, issue of Outing contains several very interesting 

 articles on winter sports in America. Most significant is the story of 

 the Outing Club of Dartmouth College. In three years it has grown 

 from a handful of snowshoe and ski runners to a "whole college on the 

 trail," and its "Winter Carnival" has become as settled a feature of 

 the college activities as the "Junior Prom." "How to Snow-Shoe" is 

 an article that should be particularly welcome to many of our Club 

 members just at present. M. R. P.
