MooN I Q Q O Q 6 College of Forestry THE New York State College of Forestry was established at Syracuse University in 1911. The charter issued by the Legislature was signed by Governor Dix and the first students received instruction in the basement of Lyman Hall. At that time forestry was generally under- stood to be a matter of planting trees. The Forestry College, however has developed many important branches such as forest engineering, wood utilization silviculture, forest botany, zoology and chemistry, city forestry, wood technology forest recreation and extension. Connected with the college is the Sophomore Summer Camp located on the Charles Lathrop Pack Demonstration Forest of 1,000 acres at Cranberry Lake. The college has four other forest experiment stations in the state. The New York State College of Forestry is the largest institution of its kind in the world. In addition to the regular four4year under- graduate courses special courses are' offered that lead to the degree of Master of Forestry, Master of City Forestry, Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Economics.

Although attendance at the camp is required of Civil Engineering students only, a large number from the other departments elect the course. Additions to laboratory equipment by gifts and purchases during the past two years have done much to increase the facilities for instruc- tion. Some of the most important articles being a precision theodolite and cement testing apparatus for the Civil Engineering Depart- ment, a complete motor generator set for the Electrical Department, and refrigeration set and pumps for the Mechanical Department. Among the student activities to be noted especially are the branches of the national engineering societies, with which many of the students affiliate.

Another third are engaged in pursuits directly dependent upon agriculture. One- half live either in the open country or in rural communities, and this half is more largely American, two to one, than the other half, less moved by Waves of prejudice and passion, less given to isms and fads, supplies more than half of the successful men in great enterprises, in Hnance, in statesmanshipg mO1'C than half of the students in higher institutions of learning, controls the bulk of our national production. The Slocum College ofAgriculture attempts as far as possible to carry out the precept, Learn to do by doing. In addition to this however, students are encouraged still further to learn to do by seeing how and what others do. The senior class is given an opportunity to spend a week in an auto- mobile trip covering a definite schedule of visits to successful farms in the state. DEAN REUBEN L NYE Q Q Q O, .
