Westveld directs the new School of Forestry. Paul Bunyan, the greatest Woodsman of them all, is more than a legend to men enrolled in the School of Forestry. He serves as an inspiration to these students who will one day manage the nation's forest lands or be salesmen and man- agers of the sales outlets for the products of the forests. Forests grow on approximately one-third of the nation's land area. Thus, the proper use and development of forest lands and full utilization of the products of the land is im- portant to the economy of the nation. The wood products industries have plant investments of 312 million, they pro- duce products Worth more than 325 billion annually and they employ more than 2 million Wage earners. Students can normally obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry in four years including somesummer Work.

Some federal agencies, notably the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management have student trainee programs into which a student may enter through civil ser- vice examination. The classroom and laboratory instruction is offered in Columbia and a major part of the field Work is given at the Forestry Summer Camp in southeastern Missouri. This camp is held in the 9,000 acre University Forest, 15 miles from Poplar Bluff. It provides facilities for instruction in forest mensuration, silvics, and silvic culture. Other field Work is done in the immediate vicinity of Columbia, where 125 different species of trees are found. A small timbered area in walking distance from the campus is used, as is the 80-acre Schnablel Arboretum and Demonstra- tion Wood, the Ashland Wildlife area and the 4,500-acre Weldon Spring Experimental Farm. Dr. Rutherford Henry Westveld is Director of the School.
