Meet the Director TRANSITIONS - The first graduating class of 1973 is having its tenth anniversary reunion in 1983, and by the quirk of our num- bering system, the eleventh class will be graduating. Thus, 1983 is both the end of the first ten and the beginning of the next ten years, and I feel particularly honoured to have been able to join the group. Graduates, students, and staff have achieved much in this time, and as the School continues to develop its three programs, curricula and administration are going to be changing to reflect current and forecasted needs. Thus it is planned to have full faculty status in the near future, and to have program chairman responsible for the technical, degree, and post-graduate programs. Knowing exactly what is going to be needed in the future is, needless to say, not possible, but the faculty believes we will be able to maintain the excellence of our programs, and contribute to the excellence of our graduate in spite of the severe financial constraints currently being experienced by all Universities. I mentioned ... contributing to the excellence of our graduates ... because we only contribute. The intrinsic qualities of you as students, and graduates, including your motivation, academic prowess, sense of identity, and yes, esprit de corps, all constitute the major contributions to your excellence. One recent example was the awarding by the Society of American Foresters of the Award of Merit for Harvest 1981 . Your publication ranked 4 in 16 for North America, and I believe all students have a right to be justly proud, especially when the School of Forestry yearbook is the only one at Lakehead. For the future, the usual foggy crystal ball is, with current economic uncertainties, virtually opaque. I nonetheless still feel that technically competent, ecologically and economically sensitive, and socially aware foresters will remain in high demand. Now that some of the 1973 graduates have gained valuable experience, they are becoming actively involved in our teaching programs. I trust that those of you graduating in 1983 won ' t feel obliged to wait 10 years to make your inputs because we need them on a continuing basis in order to maintain our quality and viability. I hope you agree, and that you will always feel welcome. lin ike compltmenis of A. JAMES KAYLL Director School of Forestry
