forestry - . .? - I jftisw.- Log-rolling contest on Garb Day. Tom, does the University of Washington have a good College of Forestry? It sure does, Bill. The College of Forestry is accredited by the Society of American Foresters. It is active in research, trains leaders, and cooperotes with industry and govern- mental agencies. The school gives its students background in forest management, logging engineering, and forest products. This year the University of Washington College of Forestry celebrated its Fiftieth Anniversory. The first class in the college registered in the autumn of 1907 with eight fresh- men and two groduate students. At that time the faculty consisted of one full-time professor and two special lec- turers. The college now has a faculty of 12 and an enrollment of 250 undergraduates and 20 graduate students. The college has graduated more than 1500 foresters since it was es- tablished The convenient location in the heart of one of the finest lumber producing areas enables forestry students to get first bond experience while working toward their degrees. DEAN GORDON D. MARCKWORTH College of Forestry graduate school Hello, Jim. How are your graduate studies going? Very well. Bob. Until a few years ago I had no idea of what it meant to be a grad student. Here at the Uni- versity of Washington the grad school ' s duty is to keep trock of all the graduate students and assist them to higher degrees. It seeks as its goal the development of intellectual independence through cultivation of the scientific, critical and appreciative attitude of mind, and the promotion of the spirit of research. To maintain a ' clear status ' rating, a graduate student must have a 3.0 grade average. The University is consistently increasing the emphasis on graduate work. It feels thot the citizens of tomorrow should be better equipped with advanced training, re- search, and scholarship. DEAN HENRY A. BURD Graduate School 25

Thank you, sir. That is certoinly most helpful. DR. MAURICE J. HICKEY School of Dentisfry education I was interviewed for an article on the College of Education today. Bob. I heard you were selected to represent the staff, Mike. That ' s fine. What did you tell them? I began with a little history. I soid the University was the site of the first teacher training school in the state of Washington and was established as such in 1913. I stressed the foct that in 1914 the School of Education became the first College of Education in any state universit y, and to add to the accomplishments of thot year, the first departmental library, the College of Educotion Library, was established. That sounds like a pretty complete sum- mary. Did you exploin the importance of our cadet teaching program in giving ac- tual working experience to the student? Oh, yes. I also mentioned the curriculum workshops, consultative progroms, ond reading clinics that help to moke our students effective teachers. 24 DEAN FRANCES F. POWERS College of Education

DEAN GEORGE NEFF STEVENS Law School IRVING LIEBERMAN Director of LibrarJanship 26 graduate school of librarianship Hello. Could you please tell me about the Groduote School of Librarianship? I need some information for an English paper. Yes, I would be glod to. The Graduate School of Librarianship is a graduate school to prepare students as specialists in libraries devoted to law, technical fields, medicine, engineering, and business. French and German are important to the student for they enable them to better fill the job positions as well as to better complete the duties they may be called upon to do. Could I take a course in librarianship before I graduate? Yes, there are several courses availoble to the undergraduate that would be an excellent preview of the Groduote School of Librarian- ship. Many of these courses require senior standing and are designed primarily for the teacher-librorion. These courses easily fit in with other studies. Glad you came in
