FROM THE TOP ... DIRECTOR ' S COMMENTS For those of you graduating this year, it seems a bit ironic to see or hear of new installations in the School, and realize you are not going to be here to enjoy them. However, this is characteristic of any dynamic faculty, and in this respect, the School of Forestry is no different than any other. The major installation this past year or so was the computer-based geographic information system in our new Centre for Application of Resources Information Systems (Caris) under the management of Prof. H. Westbroeck. The B.I.L.D. grant for the hardware and software was $250,000, and having powered-up on December 1, 1983, Prof. Westbroeck and his group are striving to have the system on-line for resources analysis projects as quickly as possible. A second major grant for $100,000 per year for three years was received from NSERC for development of tree breeding and forest genetics research with Dr. R. Farmer as principal scientist, working with a team with Profs. P. Knowles, A. Macdonald, W. Parker and K.C. Yang. And late in 1984, under Prof. C. Benson ' s initiatives, we received notice of a $116,500 grant to equip our undergraduate forest management teaching laboratories with an array of 40 microprocessors, complete with several printers, two plotters and two digitizing pads. The University has now completed a major study of space requirements and, if all goes well, the School of Forestry will be moving completely to the Braun Building by the end of 1985. We will share the building with the Computer Centre, and the move will not only give us additional space, but also our first opportunity to design, or re-design, all our teaching and research laboratories. For 1984-85, Profs. R. Clarke, H. Cumming, and T. Eiber were on sabbatical leave and the School had Profs. G. Redmond, T. Richmond, H. Kulman and P. McAlister to take their places. We have all enjoyed their inputs, and I hope you, the students, have found their contributions interesting and challenging. For the coming year, no one will be on leave, and so we are going to lose the very significant contributions of Prof. J. Flowers. I ' m sure I speak for everyone in extending our heartfelt thanks to him for his contributions to academic and development objectives. And finally, but perhaps most importantly, the School has departmentalized , with program chairmen appointed for the diploma program (Prof. D. Richardson), the degree program (Dr. G. Murchison), and in the postgraduate degree program (Dr. K. Brown). This restructuring of the School, together with comprehensive curricula reviews, will add materially to the quality of our programs and the opportunities for maintaining or improving our student- faculty interaction. I hope that you will agree with me that the School is doing well, and that it is looking forward to a healthy and exciting future. I also hope that you as graduates, will always feel welcome, and that you will drop in whenever possible. 6
