The University of Idaho owns many acres of densely forested land which provides an open air laboratory for the students in the school to learn practical methods. In addition to the valuable training the students receive through practical work on the “experimental acres,” they also have access to an experiment station maintained in Moscow by the United States Forest Service. The competency of the graduates of this school was experienced with the founding of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the spring of 1933, at which time every available man in the school was given a responsible position by the government. Dr. Ernest E. Hubert was pro- moted to Acting Dean of the school after the death of Francis Garner Miller in March. Dr. Hubert has been at Idaho since 1926. Ernest Everstr Huser, also Acting Dean of the Graduate School during the sabbatical absence of C. Ww. Hungerford, is noted for his re- search work in plant ps ratah After receiving his B. S. and M.

Many of the graduates of this school have made names for themselves and for the University after they have entered the practical field of their chosen profession. Doctors, chemists, physicists, scientists, jour nalists, and many others receive their training under the jurisdiction of the College of Letters and Science. Already having secured an enviable reputa- tion under the guidance of Dean John Kostalek, Joun Anron Kostra.ek is a chemist of accomplishment and renown.
