FORESTRY Sitting: Mr. Chipman, Mr. Libby, Mr. Leavitt, Mr. Meier, Mr. Cox. Standing: Mr McCarthy, Mr. Crossman, Mr. King, Mr: Delavan, Mr. Whipple. LAID shirted foresters are subjected to an intensive training period in all the details of production and utilization. The for- esters confine their scholastic activities almost exclusively to Bray and Marshall halls, the diflicult schedule of the state owned College of Forestry making it practically impossible for its students to include any additional studies during the four years they are on campus. The college, adequately equipped for laboratory Work, offers courses in forest botany, pathology, and etymology, silvaculture, and forest soils, and experimental Work in pulp and paper manu- facture. Usually averaging an enrollment of five hundred, this college perhaps more than any other one, has felt the drain of War service absences since its entire membership consists of men. Highlight to the forester's scholastic career is the six Weeks' encampment period during the summer between their junior and senior years.

LIBRARY SCIENCE BOUT the first building to come into one's vision on the South side of the Old Oval is an impressive look- ing structure, the University library. A gift of the late Andrew Carnegie, it now contains more than 335,000 volumes and many plates for the Fine Artists. The main reading room, whose peaceful atmosphere was so conducive to study, has been invaded by the Army Air Corps. It is here that the two thousand crewmen have their supervised study program and do their outside reading. Besides be- ing the favorite mecca of study for students and crewmen alike, the Library is the headquarters of the School of Library Science. Under the supervision of Warton Miller, this school limits its student body to forty-five graduate students. Their practical training consists of visiting libraries and places of interest in New York City and in practicing in some library outside the University. The Library School was reorganized about ten years ago because the need was discovered for a broader educa- tional background before entering it. Only those students who have re- ceived a Bachelor's degree may be admitted. The course is for one year. , .... T.t, .,lt i Sitting: Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Noyes.

LAW ACKETT HALL in downtown Syracuse houses student lawyers for three years in their pursuit of all phases of the law. Courses in legal practice, teaching, public law, corpora- tion law, and corporation finance give the student an acquaintance with the sources of law, a sound and general knowledge of its ideals and principles as they have developed and are now developing, and a store of legal information as great as the can assimilate. He is drilled in the rigid disci- pline of legal reasoning, in the hope of equipping him, as his interest may lead, for the best type of practice, legal teaching, or research. One of the most valuable features of the college has been the constant process of individual conferences and consultations between faculty and students. Dean Paul Shipman Andrews has been granted a leave of absence for war service, but his seven associates guide sober, serious students to an intelligent knowledge of law. Founded at Syracuse in 1896, the College of Law has pro- duced many eminent lawyers and judges. A Board of Visi- tors composed of these eminent men attend Board meetings, plan the future of the school, hear reports on progress, and offer constructive criticisms. Senior Moot Court is the highlight of the student lawyer's life. Held in the Appellate Division room in the County Court house before a bench of distinguished lawyers and judges, seniors plead cases in true dramatic style. As a reward for conscientious effort law students may belong to Phi Delta Phi, national legal honor fraternity, and Louis Marshall society, a local organization for social and intel- lectual activities.
