Classroom and field work at summer camp. Tree of the week. School of Forestry Having its headquarters in one of the more interesting on campus, the School of Forestry is one of the leading schools of its kind in the nation and the only accredited one in California. Mulford Hall, located in the northwest corner of campus, was designed and built especially for the Forestry School and features paneled walls with woods from all over the world. There is a small but warm and comfortable library and a social room where the forestry students may gather. As an integral part of the four-year forestry program, a summer camp in Meadow Valley in Plumas National Forest is required. During this ten-week program the budding foresters learn to apply the principles learned on campus as well as work on the field. The students are in charge of maintaining the camp for the entire period of time and many times they will fight the forest fires in the region in order to earn money for the summer. This summer camp is an experience forestry students won ' t soon forget! Mulford Hall. Forestry Library.

Mrs. Deuel in Crim. Office. Examining fibers with microscope. School of Criminology Although there was much discussion this year as to whether the School of Criminology should remain with the University of California or whether the field should be eliminated from the curriculum, it is still with us. Many careers are open to the criminology major including police lab work, institutional work, policeman or woman, and work with the California Youth Authority. The department is divided into three for specialization—law enforcement, correction and criminalistics. The School of Criminology is comparatively small and is a close and unified group. Field trips to San Quentin each semester and interesting field projects and crime studies highlight the year. Lambda Alpha Epsilon, the National Law Enforcement Fraternity, holds lectures and social activities which are interesting as well as enjoyable to the members. The criminology office is located in T-2 and with classes in Haviland, Cal Hall and LeConte the majors are spread all over campus—the better to observe the students! Tracing evidence by camera.
