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.

WRIGHT, ROBERT W. he Kaya P ua Eleven hundred Engineers are represent- ed by the first two pictures on this page. All eleven hundred of them seem quite satisfied with the arrangement. The middle picture is the close-knit in- ner executive of the Engineers' Undergradu- ate Society. Seated at the table is EUS president Don Duguid. The fiery, red- headecl Science student succeeded Cy White, and continued blazed trail. Duguid kept the Engineers in the news with blood drive challenges, homecoming queen campaigning, and an abortive attempt to kidnap pubsters late in February. Duguid's right-hand man was S. FoXie Fox, third from right, who so capably handled EUS finances. Patterson proved that even a forty-beer drinker could take good care of money. Represented in the top picture is the rest of the guiding force of EUS. Members of the American Institute of Electrical En- gineers, the American Society of Agricul- tural Engineers, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Engineering Institute of Canada. the Forestry Club, the Nurses' Undergraduate Society, and the Dawson Club served on this group. Another member of the committee was Al Wason, sitting to the far left of the pic- ture. Wason edited the Slipstick , the Totem's rival. Bottom picture on the page is the Law Undergraduate Society executive. LUS president this year was Bill Craig, seated third from the right. Lawyers orated and acted throughout the year. Beauteous blonde in the picture is the LUS executive's secretary. PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR
