This year students liave registered in tjiis College from all parts of the I ' nited States, as well as Ironi Siberia, Sweden. Ilngland, ( ana(hi and liie I ' hiliiipines. The standing of this College is so well recognized in the East that graduates of Atlantie Coast scliools are now coining here to eoniplete their training. The call for gi ' ad- nafcs has bi-en international in scope. The success of Washington roresiers and logging engineers in Suniatra. Australia, San l»oniingo, (iold Coast I Africa I, and Canada, as well as throughout the United States, has made world-wide recognition for this school. The (iilc of the College is organized in sncli a way that the student recei -es thoi-ongh lundaniental training in (he sciences and technical subjccis, with a sufficient o|iportni!ity foi- eleclives, so That he may acquire a broad outlook on life. The senior and graduate work, however, is given over entirely to siiecialization along four different lines: Forest Management, Logging ] ' ]ugineering. Forest I ' roducts, and tlie Lumber Busi- ness. The majority of the students enter the lumbering and logging field. One of the most important jdinses of the College of Forestry work is found in the Forest Club, an organization consisting of practically every student enrolled in the College of Forestry. Talks by e.xjierts and leaders in every line of the forestry and lumbering industries are featured at the bi-weekly meetings of the club. The Forest Club this year nmintained the precedent of nineteen-si.xteen by sending a delegate to the ( ' onvention of Intercollegiate Association of Forestry Clubs, held in New Haven, Connect- icut, where the delegates were guests of the Yale The jiublication of the Forest ' lub Annual is Club and was, when first is- sued, the only Forest Sc1uh)1 IQk! irl i ]niblication of its kind in the United States. Due to the many articles which are con- tributed liy students, faculty and alumoi and are read by business and scientific men engaged in divers phases of the forestry and lumbering industry, the Forest ?lub Annual has established for itself an enviable reputation among similar ]iublications.
