11 THE PIKE ' S PEAK NUGGET OJoloraoo School of forestry DEAN STURGIS The School of Forestry was established in Colorado College in 1905, when Gen- eral Palmer and Dr. Bell presented the institution with Manitou Park, a beauti- ful tract of ten thousand acres of heavily timbered mountainous country, located within a few hours ' journey of the Col- lege, well equipped with summer houses and in every way ideal for a field labor- atory. The unusual natural advantages thus secured immediately brought the school to the front and obtained for it universal recognition ; its graduates are men of recognized ability, occupying lucrative positions, and the increasing importance of the school may be shown by the fact that of the number of students at present enrolled, two-thirds are fresh- men and nearly all are from the East, having chosen this College in preference to others of recognized merit and far longer standing. Dean Sturgis and Professor Coolidge, of the faculty, are graduates of the oldest Forestry School in the East and have held responsible positions in the Government Forestry Service. The courses are planned to include both theory and practice — side by side with class room work goes the practical field work of observation and experimentation in Manitou Park and in several of the adjacent Forest Reserves which are thrown open to the students through the courtesy of the Forestry Service. The Foresters in college have formed a club which meets fortnightly to dis- cuss matters of practical interest and to hear special addresses by lumbermen, engineers and government forestry officers. Experiments along lines of interest are being carried on in Manitou Park in cooperation with the Forestry Service, and the attitude taken by the government is indicated by the establishment last year of a few weeks ' course for the Forest Rangers whose attendance was in every way encouraged by the Service. The School of Forestry is in its infancy, yet it has already come to be one of the most important departments of the College. With its remarkable advan- tages of location, and its able faculty, its rank among the foremost Schools of Forestry is well assured.

24 THE PIKE ' S PEAK NUGGET j cljooi of itstc Last year the School of Music became affiliated with the two foremost Music Schools of America, in Boston and New York. It has now extended its affiliation in the other direction, and as a conse- quence has a group of teachers which bring one hundred additional pupils in touch with its courses and methods. A wide and telling influence upon musical culture has thus been established in the Rocky Mountain region. Meanwhile association with the Liberal Arts School has grown more intimate through the Theoretical and Culture courses, which are given four credits toward the A. B. degree. The School methods are kept fully abreast of the most advanced and scien- tific thought and experiment of the day. In contrast to the narrowness of a method. its scheme of study embraces the ideas from all sources that have made accomplished musicians and artists. The Faculty is undoubtedly stronger now than ever before. The Dean has a ' cello player and teacher in view whom he hopes to add to it in the fall. DEAN E. D. HALE
