SCHOOL OF % ore6 m The George Foster Peabody School of Forestry, established in 1906, is the oldest in the South. During its first fifteen years of existence it w as extremely small, but increased interest in forestry follow ing World War I and more particularly since World War II has brought about a rapid rise in enrollment. The all time high vas recorded in 1948 when 305 undergraduates and four grad- uate students were enrolled. There are about one- half this number in the school today. The faculty now consists of ten professional foresters and one biologist. The latter is in charge of the w ildlife major now being offered in ad- dition to the regular forestry major vhich has been offered throughout the life of the School. I ' Three types of services are carried on by the School. The one given major consideration is the teaching of professional forestry to studen ts de- siring to make forestry their career. Considerable extension work among farmers and landowners is ' being carried on through the Agricultural Ex- tension Service. Two of the foresters previously mentioned are doing this vork. The third type of work undertaken by the School is research at the Griffin Experiment Station and the Athens Station. Forestry is an active profession, much of the work being out-of-doors; therefore quite a num- ber of courses requiring laboratory vork are in- cluded in the curriculum. All juniors are required to attend a ten weeks summer camp vhere they receive first-hand experience in field work. During their junior and senior years, forestry students are eligible for admission into the national honor fraternity, Xi Sigma Pi. The Forestry Club, open to all forestry students, sponsors technical lectures and programs as well as the School an- nual, Cypress Knee. i DONALD J. WEDDELL j ' Dean
