Although enrollment in the school of Forestry has declined to a small fraction of its pre-war mark, the curriculum this year continued to offer specialized work in the three phases of the school: logging engineering, technical forestry and wood products. (( Interest in forestry is greater in Oregon than in any other state in the Union. The largest amount of standing timber is within its boundaries, and it produces more lumber annually than any other state. For these reasons, there is a great demand for trained foresters to supervise the logging industry, the protection of our forest resources and the development of new wood products. Facilities at Oregon State include a state forest of 75,000 acres, 4,800 acres just 7 miles from the campus in McDonald forest, a forest products laboratory and dry kiln and the modern Forestry building. (( Plans are already formulated for the expected post-war increase in enrollment. This year, more than 40 per cent of the total enrollment was made up of veterans of World War II. Evidence of the fact that women are taking over more and more of the positions formerly occupied by men is demonstrated by two women enrolled in Forestry this year. (( A survey compiled by the school traced 540 graduated into post-college occupations from 1932 to 1944. Figures, distorted by the war, showed 46 per cent of the graduates in the armed ser- Wom,n ‘« l ► « uii timber, vices. Twenty-four per cent went into Federal forestry and 3 per cent into State forestry. Private industry claimed 13 per cent in logging and milling, and 14 per cent went into miscellaneous occupations. 21 What happens to the big ones. Loots completed, doesn't it? Of OOUGLAS ft
