On May 23rd, 1950, the Department of Forestry became a Facult' 2 d y in ex- actly one month later Professor Lowell Besley was appointed as its first Dean. History had been made in one of UBC's most historical de- partments. As long ago as 1915 University founders had considered this develo 182 P- and support on the part of the forest industry in those ment but lack of interest days made it impossible. In reviewing the early days of the Department, Dean Besley states, forestry as it is known today was non-existent then. Only a handful of professionally trained foresters were in B.C. and they were interested primarily in cutting as much of the forest as possible with the minimum expense. There was no attempt at refor- estationf' Formal courses in forestry didn't start at UBC until 1923 but from that period on the forest industry has come to depend more and more on UBC graduates in forestry to protect the dwindling forest resources. At present there are 9 teaching members in the new Faculty as com- pared to two in 1923. For the past two years the Department has granted degrees of Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Bachelor of Applied Science in Forest Engineering. With the addition of the 9,800-acre Haney Research Forest, together with the E120,000 student quarters provided on the property by the B.C. Loggers' Association, UBC's new Faculty of Forestry compares with the best on this continent. The new Dean has been professor and head of the Department since his arrival at UBC in Iuly of 1948.
