Aberdeen and North of Scotland Agricultural College. — 

 This College provides : (a) A course of fifty lectures, with 

 excursions, for students who take Forestry as one of the 

 subjects for the B.Sc. degree of the University in Agriculture. 

 The fee for the course is £2 2s. Provision is also made for 

 a supplementary course of fifty lectures accompanied by 

 laboratory work and practical demonstrations for students 

 who intend to make a special study of Forestry or who wish to 

 prepare for the Forestry Diploma of the Highland and 

 Agricultural Society. There are large wooded areas in the 

 neighbourhood of Aberdeen and, through the liberality of 

 several of the landed proprietors, excellent facilities are 

 afforded for practical work, (b) There are further courses of 

 instruction in connection with the extension scheme of the 

 College. These are delivered to foresters and forest workers 

 at centres, within the district that naturally falls within the 

 sphere of interest of the College, where there are suitable and 

 sufficient wooded areas. In 1907-1908 there were given six- 

 teen such lectures, at which 650 persons were in attendance. 

 In 1908-1909 there were fifteen lectures, with an attendance of 

 820. As the lectureship in Forestry was not established in 

 the College until 1907, these facts are full of promise for the 

 future.
