CHAIRMAN ' S REMARKS Once again, I am pleased to avail myself of this opportunity to address a few remarks to the readers of the Lakehead Forestry Harvest. The publication of the first LUFA yearbook, in 1972, marked the first step taken by the students in the School of Forestry in the development of a yearbook marked by progressive annual improvements in content and format. This trend parallels the growing awareness of the importance of forestry both in Lakehead University, and in the region. In the 1974-75 academic year, more than 430 students were enrolled in the forestry programs. Although this was the largest enrollment experienced to date, current projections indicate that an even larger number will be seeking forestry education at Lakehead University in 1975- 76. Although the rising interest by increasing numbers of young people in careers in forest resources management is gratifying to a profession which regarded itself as essentially invisible and unknown, until recent years, severe strains are being imposed upon our staff and facilities. Forestry education came of age in Lakehead University at a time when our provincial government adopted a policy of freezing further construction of university buildings and facilities, and when enrollments in other faculties and departments were beginning to decline. In consequence, during the past several years, both funds and suitable space have not been readily provided, ' with the result that the expansion of the School, commensurate with rising enrollments and curriculum improvements, has been seriously impeded. Our difficulties have been further increased by problems in the recruitment of new full-time faculty members. Thus, our ability to offer courses in some subject areas of current interest to many students, such as land classification, land-use-planning, and forest recreation has been severely restricted. We were pleased to welcome three new full-time faculty members to our School in 1974, in the persons of Messrs. A. Fedkenheuer, T.G. Liber and D.A. Mead. They have assumed academic and administrative responsibilities, and will bring new strength to our School in a number of subject areas. We were greatly saddened during the year by the loss of two veteran foresters of wide knowledge and experience who had joined our staff on retiring from their previous full-time positions. Our special lecturer, Mr. S.T.B. Losee, had assumed responsibilities for the teaching of Descriptive Dendrology in the degree program. He died suddenly while conducting a student excursion on the first day of field school. This serious loss for our School was compounded in the first week of the second term by the sudden death of Mr. J.K. McEwen. With the assistance of our faculty members and the co- operation of the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto, we were able to effect some major changes in course responsibilities, and to continue to function in spite of the loss of these two highly esteemed foresters. During the past year, we have been engaged in the preparatory phases of a Master ' s program in forestry. It appears probable that we shall be authorized to offer this program, for the first time, commencing in 1976. A high level of interest has been shown in such a program, both by our own graduates, and by others, and there is no doubt that adequate numbers of students will be attracted to it. .
