The history of the School has been coincident with a most remarkable development of forestry throughout the country. The Yale School has a very large share of credit for this develop- ment; without Yale and the other forest schools the results of the last decade could never have been achieved. No country has yet succeeded in establishing forestry on a permanent footing except through well trained foresters. Forestry had its real beginning in the United States when there were men to initiate the work of putting its principles into actual practice. In the minds of the founders of the Yale School there was not only a recognition of the need of trained men to carry on the work of forestry, but there was also a determined purpose toset a high standard of education that would train its students for leadership in the development of the science and practice of forestry. No task before the School has been more difficult. In the early days the technical demands on the forester were small. Oftentimes his first work was purely administrative, for which a very elementary knowledge of forestry would suffice. The demand for men was at that time so great that a young man with but little training could secure a place with the Government or elsewhere. There was therefore a tremendous pressure for a short-cut education, and to omit many fundamental features of technical training that did not seem of immediate practical application. But the School consistently maintained its high technical requirements, because it was training men to develop forestry and not merely to fill certain positions that might be available. 8 YALE FOREST SCHOOL The keynote of forestry is foresight. In the first work of organizing forestry there must be a clear vision of future development. Otherwise no real progress is possible. Every step undertaken in handling a forest has an effect on its future condition, whether it involves the building of trails, the location of cuttings, the method of cuttings, or the organization of a protective system. The man who has a proper training can look ahead and guide his work to meet the requirements of a real upbuilding of his forest. The man with no such knowledge will invariably work on a basis of immediate expediency, without consideration of what is to be the ultimate development of the forest. Many do not appreciate the vital influence of single localized operations on the development of the forest in the future, because mistakes may not be discovered or good work appreciated for a long time. Already the need for a high standard of forest education has been demonstrated. I regard the part Yale has been able to play in maintaining this standard as one of its largest achieve- ments; it is the real reason for the School’s leadership in forestry and the confidence it has acquired throughout the country. The graduates of the School have been leaders because they have had a point of view and knowledge beyond that needed for the every-day work which they first find to do. In addition to the educational foundations secured at the School, the graduates have shown a spirit of public service and devotion to their work that has contributed largely to their leadership. The forestry movement will have a very vital influence on the internal development and lasting prosperity of the country. Every forester is working toward an end which will benefit the nation, whether he is in public service or in the employ of a lumber company. This body of men scattered throughout all the states constitutes an educational force that is irresistible. Through the devoted work of its Faculty and the enthusiastic and consistent spirit of loyal service of its graduates, the Yale Forest School has already accomplished results which deserve high credit. Its work, however, is still in its infancy. In per- forming its part in developing public forest policies, both for the Nation and the states, in building up the science of forestry, YALE IN THE FORESTRY MOVEMENT 9 and getting its principles in actual practice, Yale has a great opportunity and a great responsibility to serve the country. When we read the history of the School contained in this volume, let it be with the feeling that it tells of the foundation for a work which everyone associated with the School aims to do for the Nation. It is an account of the past to be of help for the future. THE YALE. FOREST SCHOOL AN HISTORICAL SKETCH By JAMEs WILLIAM TOUMEY Director of the Yale Forest School, and a professor in the School since its foundation The first great step in forest conservation in the United States was taken in 1891 when, through the action of Congress, the President was given authority to set aside forest reserva- tions. Previous to this time forestry in the United States was chiefly propaganda. There were less than a half dozen trained foresters in the entire country. It was soon found necessary, however, to appoint supervisors, forest rangers, and - other forest officers to take charge of the newly created reser- vations. The work was organized with men having little or no knowledge of technical forestry. Even before the creation of the National forests some of the states had begun to develop a progressive forest policy and to acquire land for state forests. The beginnings were also made in forestry on privately owned timber land. At the beginning of the present century not only the National government but many of the states and, to some extent, private owners of large forest properties were seeking trained foresters. As early as 1887 a course of lectures on technical forestry was given by Bernhard E. Fernow at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. This was the first instruction in forestry given by a trained forester at an educational institution in the United States. Prior to this date some of the agricultural colleges sustained chairs of botany and forestry combined. Inno instance, however, were the men who occupied them trained foresters, nor did they teach technical forestry. In 1898 Dr. Fernow resigned his position as chief of the Division of Forestry of the United States Department of Agri- culture and organized and became director of the New York State College of Forestry at Cornell University. This was the first school of technical forestry in the United States.

Schenck at Biltmore, N. C. The former school was aban- doned after three years of successful work through the lack of state support; the latter is still in existence. The great impetus given to American forestry through the creation of the National forests, the activities of the separate states in furthering a progressive forest policy, and the rapid expanse of the work of the Division of Forestry under the new chief, Gifford Pinchot, created a demand almost over night for a large number of technically trained men. Mr. Pinchot had been trained in the forest schools of Europe and became the leading figure in American forestry. He soon realized that his vision of forest conservation could not be attained without an able corps of men thoroughly trained in technical forestry and familiar with American life and institutions. The two schools, at Cornell and Biltmore, with uncertain tenure of life, could not be depended upon to supply the large numbers of men immediately required and the continually increasing number that would probably be necessary for some years to come. Early in the spring of 1900 it was announced by the President of Yale University that a gift of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars had been received to endow a graduate school of forestry. Two ideas of fundamental importance stand forth in this announcement; namely, an endowed institution and a graduate school. For the first time in America the new profession of forestry was placed upon a high plane requiring the best type of scholarship and a thorough scientific foundation. The fact of an endowed institution assured permanency and the possibility of substantial and gradual development. The gift under which the School was founded was from Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot and their sons, Gifford Pinchot and Amos R. E. Pinchot. It provided for a department in the Uni- versity to be known as the Yale Forest School and a summer school of forestry at Milford, Pike County, Pa. The object of the School, as expressed in the terms of the gift, is both instruction and research in forestry. The University in accept- ing the gift agreed to provide the necessary buildings to house the School until the new institution was in a financial position to erect buildings for its special use. 12 YALE FOREST SCHOOL Early in the summer of 1900 Henry Solon Graves, of the Division of Forestry, was appointed director of the new School, and the following Board of Governors organized the instruction and administration: Arthur T. Hadley, LL.D., president. Henry S. Graves, M.A., professor of forestry. William H. Brewer, Ph.D., professor of agriculture. Gifford Pinchot, B.A., special lecturer on forest policy. The School was fortunate in securing Mr. Graves as its first director, and its success is largely due to his foresight and counsels and to his high ideals of education in this comparatively new field. Following the announcement of the School a circular was issued outlining the plan and the proposed courses of study. In June James W. Toumey, of the Division of Forestry, was appointed assistant professor of forestry. In the organization of the School it was realized that from the standpoint of technical training two classes of men were required to successfully carry on the work in forestry in the United States. First, men trained in the broad field of technical forestry, competent to organize and administer forest property and con- duct scientific investigations. Second, men especially skilled in the conduct of woods work and fitted for rangers, inspectors and foremen. In order to prepare men for the former, the Forest School was made a graduate department of the Univer- sity. A summer school was maintained for several years at Milford. Entrance examinations were not required and certifi- cates of attendance were issued at the expiration of the eight weeks’ course. Because of the opportunity that it would give school teachers to become familiar with the methods of field work, particularly in silviculture and dendrology, the course was at first opened to women. The Faculty included but one professor of forestry and one assistant professor. The remainder of the teaching staff was from the other departments of the University. Their work was supplemented by courses of special lectures by Gifford Pinchot and Frederick H. Newell. A two-year course of study was prescribed, the terms coin- ciding with those of the other departments of the University. AN VHISTORICAL ‘SKETCH 13 Entrance requirements were much more liberal than at present. Graduates of universities, colleges and scientific schools of high standing were accepted without examination, provided they could show requisite knowledge of botany, geology and chemistry. Others were required to pass examinations in mathematics, botany, geology, chemistry, physics, German or French, English and political economy. Special students were admitted without examination when they were able to present other evidence of their fitness to pursue the courses given. The tuition charges were one hundred dollars per year. Looking back from a perspective of thirteen years the curricu- lum.is simple in the extreme, and may be characterized by the emphasis placed upon courses in botany, geology and zoology, and‘ the comparatively limited work in technical forestry. The forestry subjects in the curriculum were as follows: outline of forestry, silviculture, forest management, forest measure- ments, forest technology, lumbering, forest protection, forest history, forest administration and state and National forestry. With the exception of one short course of six lectures given by Gifford Pinchot the entire field was covered by the director and the assistant professor. Provision was made for field work at New Haven, Milford and in the Adirondack Mountains. In the first announcement of the courses, field work was only briefly mentioned as follows: “Frequent excursions will be taken to points of interest near New Haven. In the spring of the second year the work will be transferred from New Haven to the field, the first few weeks being spent in Pennsylvania and the remaining time in the Adirondacks.” IQOO-I9QOI The first term of the regular course began on Thursday, September 27, 1900. Seven students were enrolled and remained to complete the two years’ course, and in addition thirteen Academic and two Sheffield students attended one or more courses. The director and four of the regular students lived in Marsh Hall, which was provided by the University for the use of the School. In November, 1900, the first annual catalogue of the School was published, and included practically the same 14 YALE FOREST SCHOOL subject matter as the preliminary announcement. There was a more detailed account of the field work, and a list of the seven students in attendance. During the year the School received in gifts to its equipment a splendid collection of axes and a large number of wood-work- ing tools from W. D. Simmons of St. Louis, Mo., and a valuable collection of saws from H. C. Atkins of Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. Toumey gave his herbarium containing two thousand five hundred species of indigenous trees and shrubs to the School. The library was enlarged through the gift of three hundred and twenty-five volumes from Gifford Pinchot. IQOI-1902 Early in igor an illustrated circular announcing the Yale Summer School of Forestry was published. The course as planned, and later carried out, covered a period of eight weeks beginning July 8, 1901. No entrance examinations were required, but no one under seventeen years of age was admitted. The teaching staff consisted of the director and the assistant professor. The following courses were offered: introduction to forestry, silviculture, forest botany, forest measurements and forest protection. Twenty-seven students were enrolled, seven of whom were women. The latter had all the privileges of the School with the exception of living and boarding in camp. At the opening of the regular course in 1901 the previous year’s class of seven members was augmented by three men from the Division of Forestry. The Junior class had a member- ship of twenty-one. The School was now for the first time in full operation, and the Faculty was called upon to give instruc- tion in all the courses offered in the curriculum. In many respects, from the standpoint of instruction, it was the most critical period in the history of the School. With more than four times as many students as the previous year, and with the technical courses of the Senior year given for the first time, the burden of instruction was very great. The following courses were added: forest entomology, forest administration and law, and forest administration abroad. During the second year the field work was more fully organ- ized. A year before an agreement was made by the School AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 15 and the New Haven Water Company whereby a portion of the forest property of the company was placed under the man- agement of the School, thus making a large body of woodland near New Haven available for purposes of instruction and experiment. The field work in silviculture was chiefly confined to this tract. Arrangements were made for the Seniors to spend the last three weeks of the autumn term in lumber camps in northern New England. After the Easter recess the work with the Senior class was transferred to Central Valley, N. Y., where the entire spring term was devoted to field work. A working plan was prepared for a forest of 15,000 acres owned by E. H. Harriman of New York. On the completion of their work, for the college year ending June, 1902, the degree Master of Forestry was conferred upon eight members of the Senior class, and the first graduates of the School were ready to begin their professional careers in a field just beginning to develop rapidly in the United States. Soon after graduating, two members of the class, namely, Roy L. Marston and Alfred Akerman, were engaged as instructors. 1902-1903 The second session of the summer school was under Mr. Toumey, who was assisted by Walter Mulford, State Forester of Connecticut. Nineteen students were in attendance, of whom six were women. A large percentage of the male students were undergraduates from Eastern universities and colleges, nine of whom later entered the School for the regular two-year course. The curriculum was greatly extended and the courses re- arranged during the third year. In September, 1902, Alfred Akerman and Roy L. Marston began their work as instructors. The position of assistant in botany, occupied the previous year by C. E. Preston, was filled by Arthur H. Graves. Howard S. Betts was appointed assistant in the wood testing laboratory, and Herman von Schrenk lecturer on diseases of trees to take the position formerly occupied by William C. Sturgis. At the opening of the term twenty-six men enrolled in the entering class. Heretofore the students had been largely drawn 16 YALE FOREST SCHOOL from the Eastern states. In this class, however, all parts of the United States were represented, and one student came from Japan. The National character of the School for the first time became apparent in its student body. The course formerly given by Mr. Verrill was given by Mr. Britton, State Entomologist of Connecticut. The courses in introduction to forestry and history of forestry were taken by Mr. Akerman, who also assisted Director Graves in the work in silviculture. The courses in lumbering and forest protection were taken by Mr. Marston, who also assisted Director Graves in forest management. The work in engineering was extended. Field surveying was given by Mr. Tracy, and a new course in forest engineering was under Mr. Marston. Through the generosity of George H. Myers, M.F. ’o2, three thousand dollars was received to pay for the equipment of a laboratory in forest technology, and instruction in timber testing was given by Mr. Betts. Through cooperation with the Division of Forestry the laboratory was opened for investigation on the mechanical properties of wood. In the early winter (December, 1902) the members of the Senior class were located in lumber camps in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida and Texas. Each student prepared a detailed report on lumbering in the region studied. The spring field work with the Senior class was at West Point Military Reservation, where a study was made of a large hardwood tract east of the Hudson River. The area was mapped and a working plan made under which it has since been managed. There was a large increase in attendance, the registration in the regular course being forty-four students compared with thirty-three the previous year. They represented twenty-three collegiate institutions in fifteen states. The endowment of the School was increased through the gift of fifty thousand dollars by Mrs. J. W. Pinchot and Gifford Pinchot. This gift enabled the Governing Board very materially to modify the courses of study, add a summer term to the regular course, and greatly increase the field work. The principal addi- tions to the equipment of the School were through the purchase of a portion of the technical library of the late Charles Mohr. AN VAISTORICAL SKETCH 17 1903-1904 The third session of the summer school, which opened on July I, 1903, was reduced to seven weeks. Mr. Marston was in charge. The curriculum remained unchanged with the exception of greater diversity in the work, due to the larger number of ‘special lectures. Fifteen students were in attendance, none of whom were women. Of those in attendance seven later entered the regular course. Mr. Akerman resigned at the close of the collegiate year in June and accepted the position of State Forester of Massachusetts. The registration in the regular course was sixty-six, repre- senting thirty-three collegiate institutions in twenty-three states. There was one student each from the Philippine Islands and Sweden. The large increase in students in the Senior class was partly due to the discontinuance of the College of Forestry at Cornell University. Special arrangements were made whereby students from that institution were admitted to the Yale Forest School, and ten men availed themselves of this arrangement. Although no additions were made to the list of regular instructors, it became necessary to employ a number of tempo- rary assistants because of the unexpectedly large number of students. Walter Mulford was employed to assist in the courses in silviculture and forest mensuration, and Austin Cary in the field work of the Senior class at Milford. Harry Tiemann, M.F. ’03, was appointed engineer in the technological laboratory in the place of H. S. Betts, and continued in this position until 1909, when work in cooperation with the United States Govern- ment was discontinued. In late December a disastrous fire broke out in Marsh Hall. It started in the basement and burned or severely injured the testing laboratory, the assembly hall, two recitation rooms and the instrument room. The School records, the library and herbarium were saved. For two weeks at the beginning of the winter term recitations and lectures were held at the Sheffield Scientific School. The restored building was in many respects better adapted to the requirements of the School than before the fire. The equipment at the summer school was greatly improved by the construction of three buildings which were the gift of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot. ‘Through the further 2 18 YALE FOREST SCHOOL generosity of George H. Myers the forest library of the late Dr. Robert Hartig was purchased and donated to the School. This collection contained fifteen hundred books and pamphlets representing the accumulation of many years. It is particularly rich in German periodicals and early books and pamphlets on forestry, many of which are long out of print and difficult to obtain. For the first time the spring field work of the regular course was conducted at Milford, with Mr. Marston and Austin Cary, instructors. It later became apparent that it would be necessary to rearrange the curriculum and increase the amount of field work in order to realize more fully the object of instruction. During the winter an announcement was published of proposed changes in the curriculum. Experience had shown that the courses in forest mensuration and silviculture could not be satisfactorily taught without more field work. It became neces- sary to add to the Junior year a term wholly devoted to field work. Accordingly, the Junior year in 1904 opened at Milford at the same time as the summer school. Heretofore the tuition for the Junior and Senior years was one hundred dollars each. Beginning in July, 1904, it was raised to one hundred and fifty dollars for the Junior year, and a year later to one hundred and twenty-five dollars for the Senior year. To the present no further changes in tuition charges have been made. Thereafter the Junior class met at the School camp at Milford with the summer school students. The field and classroom work of the two classes, however, were wholly distinct and usually under separate instructors. The session of the summer school was seven weeks as in the previous year, but the regular term continued three weeks longer. Two distinct bodies of students tented in the same encampment and dined together, but the character of the instruction was necessarily wholly different. 1904-1905 Under this new arrangement the Junior courses in the sum- mer of 1904 were given by Director Graves, assisted by E. E. Carter, M.F. ’04. Mr. Toumey was assisted by A. H. Graves in carrying the work of the summer school.

Thirty-four men were enrolled in the Junior class and eighteen in the summer school. The experiment of shifting a large part of the field work to an extra summer term proved successful. At the opening of the autumn term at New Haven the total attendance was sixty-three exclusive of those from other departments. The next year surveying was transferred to the summer term. On January 2, 1905, both the Junior and Senior classes met in Washington, D. C., to attend the Forest Congress. For one week the students attended the sessions of the Congress and the following week a series of specially arranged addresses and lectures to which students from other schools were also invited. The Forest Club, composed of Faculty and students, was organized and has continued to meet on alternate Wednesday evenings except in the summer term. During the early winter a group of Seniors with a smaller number of Juniors met and organized the Robin Hood Society of Foresters. After an existence of six years the organization was discontinued. The accumulated funds in the treasury of the society to the extent of more than five hundred dollars were contributed to the Graduates Fund of the School. Shortly after the opening of the winter term Director Graves was commissioned by the Forest Service to visit India and the Philippine Islands to secure information relative to educational instruction in forestry that would best fit students for the prac- tice of forestry in tropical regions and particularly in the Philip- pine Islands. During the six months of Director Graves’ absence Mr. Toumey was acting director, and B. E. Fernow, the former director of the New York State College of Forestry, conducted some of the courses. A. F. Hawes, M.F. ’03, State Forester of Connecticut, also assisted in instruction. As in the previous year, after the Easter recess, the work with the Senior class was transferred to the School camp at Milford. It became apparent, however, that it was unwise to continue the spring field work at this place since the men were already thoroughly familiar with the region. It seemed desir- able that a wholly new field be selected for the spring work 20 YALE FOREST SCHOOL where lumbering operations were in progress and where condi- tions were better suited for the preparation of forest maps, the projection of logging roads, the estimating of timber and the making of working plans. Since the spring of 1905 it has been conducted on large tracts of virgin timber in the South. The most important addition to the collections of the School during the year was a large assortment of forest products from the St. Louis Exposition. A former collection of exotic woods from the Buffalo Exposition had been severely damaged the year before in the fire at the School. The material from St. Louis and much besides is stored because of lack of space for display. As soon as a School building is erected this material can be arranged and made available for exhibition and purposes of instruction. As in former years the majority of the twenty-nine members of the graduating class entered the Forest Service. The rapid expansion of the work of the Government under the direction of Gifford Pinchot gave opportunity for all who desired to begin the practice of their profession on the National Forests, which had been only recently transferred from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture and placed directly under the management of the Forest Service. 1905-1906 The year beginning July, 1905, was the most satisfactory from the standpoint of the curriculum since the organization of the School. The instruction was made more efficient and foundations were laid for still further improvements the fol- lowing year. The important change in the engineering courses became effective at the opening of the summer term. The course was conducted by J. C. Tracy, assisted by C. S. Farnham and W. L. Ulrich. For the first time a course in field dendrol- ogy was included in the summer work. Since 1905 there have been no marked changes in the courses as given at Milford. Only three courses are offered; namely, surveying, forest mensuration and field dendrology. Among the thirty-six men enrolled in the regular course were students from Canada, Norway, Sandwich Islands and South Africa. Eighteen attended the summer school, five of whom later entered the regular course. ANTS TORICAL/ SKETCH 21 Herman H. Chapman, M.F. ’o04, of the Forest Service, was employed .as assistant during the winter and spring terms. A course in State Forest law was given during the winter by Mr. Chapman. In April Mr. Marston resigned to enter the lumber business in Maine, and the field work in lumbering as formerly conducted by locating the students in lumber camps for a period of three weeks after the Thanksgiving recess was abandoned. The Senior field work of the spring term was conducted at Waterville, N. H., on a tract of 22,000 acres owned by the International Paper Company. The topographic work was under the direction of Henry Gannett, geographer of the United States Geological Survey. The forest work was conducted by Mr. Chapman. The field work in silviculture was better organized, the autumn term being devoted to silvical excursions and investigations in the woods about New Haven and the remainder of the year to thinnings, improvement cuttings, nursery work, seeding and planting. The importance of lumbering as a part of the curriculum was recognized by the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation at their annual meeting in 1905, and they voted to raise a fund to endow a chair of lumbering. Sixty thousand dollars was immediately pledged, and in the autumn turned over to the treasurer of the University, and in 1910 an additional forty thousand dollars was received. This fund has been of great value to the School as it made possible the appointment of R. C. Bryant of the Forest Service to take charge of the work in lumbering. Mr. Bryant began his work in September, 1900. During the year an Advisory Board was appointed from the graduates and proved very important in furthering the interests of the School and bringing the alumni into closer touch with its activities. The members of the first Advisory Board were ois Mivers.7 iM.) ’o2! J.'Gi? Peters;’ M.FY ’o3, and’ W; (B. Greeley, M.F. ’o4. 1906-1907 The year 1906 marked a long step forward in improving the curriculum. This was made possible through the addition to 22 YALE FOREST SCHOOL the Faculty of three instructors in forestry, namely Messrs. Chapman, Bryant and Hawley, each of whom was given a definite line of work which they have been pursuing and strengthening up to the present time. This marks a definite stage in the development of the curriculum because it is the beginning of the separation of the work into specific courses continuously handled by the same instructors. It gave an oppor- tunity for the courses to develop and expand with succeeding years. Hitherto the lack of funds and available instructors of experience prevented the development of a Faculty adequate for the constantly increasing work of the School. The work of instruction as then organized was conducted by three groups of men: first, the regular Faculty, consisting of five resident members whose time was wholly given to the School and who conducted the technical courses in forestry; second, members of other departments of the University who gave specially arranged courses in auxiliary subjects; third, non-resident, special lecturers. An important feature of the year was the development of the course in lumbering under Mr. Bryant. The work was organ- ized with the advice of a committee from the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. This advisory committee consisted of Nelson W. McLeod and Clifford I. Millard of St. Louis and Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser of St. Paul. The lectures in this subject were given by Mr. Bryant assisted by the members of the committee as special lecturers. Through the generosity of J. B. White the plant of the Missouri Lumber & Mining Com- pany in southern Missouri was placed at the disposal of the School for the spring work of the Senior class. The work in the woods was conducted by Mr. Chapman, who was assisted in the topographic work by Henry Gannett of the United States Geological Survey. Mr. Bryant had charge of the work relating directly to lumbering. This proved so successful that the field work of the Senior class has since followed the same general plan. 1907-1908 The increased demand for foresters by the National govern- ment, by states, and by private owners of woodland, resulted in the rapid development of facilities for instruction. As early AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 23 as 1907 seventeen institutions in the United States and Canada were offering instruction in forestry and five institutions had fully organized departments or schools for high-grade training. The standard required for the profession of forestry was becom- ing higher each year and already many of the graduates of minor schools found it difficult to find remunerative positions.

He writes: “The Indian Service has a well developed Forest Service which is handling all timber matters on the Indian Reservations. There are thirty-one saw mills on the reserva- tions operated for the benefit of the Indians by the Government. These mills vary in size from small portable mills to the large mill, with a daily capacity of over 200,000 feet, on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin. 38 YALE FOREST SCHOOL “The total area of Indian timber lands is roughly estimated at 6,500,000 acres, containing approximately 38,000,000,000 feet of timber, and valued at over $84,000,000. In order to protect and properly administer these resources a considerable force of men is employed, consisting of forest guards, rangers, scalers, lum- bermen and technically trained foresters. The work is in many respects similar to that of the Forest Service, except that no purely investigative work is carried on and that where it seems advisable timber is logged, handled and manufactured by the Service, the lumber being sold or disposed of for the benefit of the Indians. A considerable amount of permanent improvement work is being carried on, roads, trails, telephone lines, cabins, corrals and fences being constructed. The Indian timber lands, unlike the National Forests, were not set aside for protective purposes, but for the use and benefit of the Indians. Much of the timber is located on good agricultural soil, some of which is allotted. In such cases clear cutting is practised, all the timber being cut and removed, and the Indians encouraged to farm this land. On the really forest soil, however, forestry methods are followed in logging.” He has published: Forest conditions in Northern New Hampshire, Bull. 55, U. S. Forest Service; The red gum, Bull. 58, U. S. Forest Service. George E. Clement 275 Warren Street, Boston, Mass. George Edwards Clement was born April 21, 1877, in Vienna, Austria, the son of George W. Clement.

He writes: “The chief business event of my life since leay- ing Yale was the purchase of a thousand-acre farm in Kansas in 1905. With but $80 cash in my pocket I obligated myself to pay $13,000 in seven years’ time at six and a half per cent. interest. I always have had the greatest possible faith in agri- cultural land as a safe investment, particularly in a country with such agricultural resources as Kansas. Before my mortgage fell due, I was able to pay it off in full, by selling land at an advance in price and by saving from my salary. To-day I own 1,053 acres of Kansas land free from debt, worth at the lowest market price $35,000. I would not part with the land for $50,000. Faith in Kansas and ‘nerve’ have enabled me to be the owner of one of the finest stock farms in the United States, where I propose to spend my declining years practicing ‘farm forestry,’ plant breeding and stock raising. I hope to teach a few years longer, then retire to my farm to practice what I have taught.” Clothier is a member of the Presbyterian church.

Even at Grésque at an elevation of 350 meters the rainfall is but 691 millimeters during an average year. Add to the summer droughts a temperature of 25° to 37° centigrade and the vegetative conditions become intolerable. The fellings consequently are light and rarely remove more than 25 per cent. of the volume. The selection system is employed because in the words of the inspector: ‘We are afraid of the regular shelterwood fellings because after the parent trees are removed the young crop is exposed to the full force of the wind and drought. To avoid heavy losses during the periodic droughts we employ light selection fellings: if once the ground becomes denuded artificial restocking is a difficult undertaking.’ “And no wonder it is difficult! In the Commune of Marseille (Serie de reboisement de la Gordiale), the government has pur- chased some 800 hectares of denuded calcareous hills as a demonstration forest and to temper, if possible, the climate, of Marseille by surrounding it with forests. Here a local nursery has been established and systematic reforestation is in progress. It has taken years of study to determine the best methods. “They sow the pin d’alep in seed spots where the conditions are not too unfavorable and use ball plants (pot method) where seeding results or would result in failures. The sowing and planting is in the fall just before or during the rains. Spring sowing is equally successful until the summer drought starts but during this period the losses are enormous. The seed spots are carefully cultivated and cleared of stones and rocks. The size varies somewhat but on poor ground the spots are .80 by .60 meters and 30 to 35 centimeters deep. They cost from 6 to 12 cents each, and are irregularly spaced 3 to 4 meters apart by a rough quincieux system. When the soil is ready for the seed the surface is 2 to 5 inches below the ground level. This depression collects the water a little during the rains and pro- tects the seedlings against the wind. Perhaps 60 seeds (a small handful) are sown in each spot and are raked into the soil to a depth of 1 to 1% centimeters. As soon as the sowing is NON GRADUATES CLASS OF 1903 63 complete a uniform cover of brush is placed on the seed spot and is held down by a good-sized rock. The success of this method is phenomenal. Its chief features are: large well- worked seed spot; heavy sowing to discount certain loss of at least 50 to 90 per cent. of the seedlings which germinate; the brush cover; sowing before or during the rains. “The same seed spots are prepared for planting and the pin dalep, after one year in the seed bed and one year in the terra cotta pot, is ball planted after the pot is removed. When the ground is moist the ball of earth around the roots (often caked hard) is loosened to give the roots a better chance. This method is SO expensive it is only used where absolutely necessary.” He is an Episcopalian.

He writes: “My chief interest during the past six years has centered around the city tree problem of the country. Seven years ago I saw the need of championing forestry among the city dwellers and to put the tree problems of our parks on a scientific footing. It was all in the hands of untrained men. Brooklyn and Queens Park departments offered the opportunity for demonstrating the possibilities of such work and from that very moment I had to fight against all sorts of odds to introduce new methods and get scientific tree care recognized. We are still spending nearly $4,000,000 annually on parks in New York City and only a very small fraction of this goes to tree work. But now we are getting more and more interest in the trees and the people are fast becoming educated to it. It had to be done by systematic and constant effort in writing, lecturing, talking from the platform, defying politicians, etc. I traveled to other cities and did the same there and now we have many cities awake to it. I am now especially interested in seeing municipal forests established in cities and to have these displace the common, conventional and extremely expensive formal park.” Levison is a member of the Ethical Culture Society of Brook- lyn, Mason Lodge, Brooklyn Entomological Society, Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, American Association of Park Superintendents, New York Academy of Sciences, American Forestry Association and the American Tree Planting Asso- ciation of Brooklyn.

Passed civil service exams in 1905 and was assigned to the Leadville Forest in Colorado. For three months I worked as ranger, forest assistant and somewhat in the capacity of supervisor. The organization at that time had not crystallized and one man had charge of the Pike, Lead- ville and Holy Cross forests from Denver. In September, 1905, I was placed in charge of the Holy Cross Forest as acting supervisor to establish the administration and get things going. This forest was the center of bitter opposition to the Service and it was here that the famous Fred Light case first came up. After getting things under way I was sent to the San Juan and Montezuma with headquarters at Durango to get the admin- istration under way. These forests included together about 3,000,000 acres, and when I arrived in early January, 1906, GRADUATES CLASS OF 1905 111 nothing had been done. I stayed until April and was then sent to Montana with Mr. E. A. Sherman. I stayed two weeks and was called to Washington to serve in the capacity of district forester for District 1. This under the old scheme was in no way similar to the present position. It was an assignment to handle general omnibus letters for signature of Washington office administration officers. Left Washington as assistant forest inspector and went to New Mexico to look over the Portales with the result of eliminating the entire forest. Came back to Montana in the spring of 1907 as forest inspector and put the administration on the newly created cabinet. With Redington, Class of 1904, worked up the plan of re-districting the forests in Montana and Idaho. From 1907 to December 1, 1908, was a general inspection officer. With the creation of the district office at Missoula for District 1, 1 was appointed assistant district forester, which title was changed later to associate district forester upon district forester W. B. Greeley being called into Washington as assistant forester. I was made district forester July 1, 1911, which position I now hold.” He is a member of the Society of American Foresters. Gordon E.

Recknagel is professor of forestry in the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., where he teaches forest management, forest utilization and wood technology. He has held this position since February 1, 1913. He writes: “On entering the Forest Service as forest assistant in 1906 my first assignment was to Santa Fé, N. Mex., where I was engaged in timber sale examinations on the Jemez, Carson and Pecos National forests. Transferred in November to the Beaver National Forest, Utah, for similar work, and again to the Coconino National Forest, Flagstaff, Ariz., in December, where I remained on growth studies (western yellow pine), marking and estimates until the end of June, 1907, when I was ordered in to Washington for timber sale detail. In September and again in December I was in Georgia on congressional tours and in Tennessee on a woodlot examination. In January I was made acting chief of the reorganized section of reconnaissance, office of management. - This appointment was confirmed in Feb- ruary and in April I started on a four months’ trip to organize 132 YALE FOREST SCHOOL the new field work. This trip carried me to New Mexico, Colo- rado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. I returned to Washington, D. C., over the Canadian Pacific from Vancouver to Montreal. During August I was in Alabama on congressional tours and also conferred with the governors of Alabama and of Georgia as to Service codperation with these states. In December I left Washington to take up my duties in District 3 as assistant chief of silviculture, remaining there for nearly three years or until October, 1911, when I sailed for Europe on a year’s leave of absence to study forest conditions abroad. “The fall semester I enrolled at the Forst Akademie at Ebers- walde, near Berlin, then I traveled through Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria. I became especially interested in the management: i. e., in the working plan practice of the various countries, and, on settling at Dresden for some months, specialized on this subject, having the Forst Akademie at Tharandt conveniently near. “Again and again it has been brought home to me that the experiences we are making and the stages through which we are passing are nothing new but merely the inexorable repeti- tion of history modified by changed economic conditions. But great as has been the progress made by European nations in the science of forestry, it has not resulted in stagnation. New ideas and improvements on old methods are constantly being introduced and all this makes for progress towards the ideal forestry which is, apparently, as far removed from realization in Europe as it is in America. “This progress of present day forestry in Europe is best exemplified, it seems to me, by the turning away from pure stands and artificial regeneration toward mixed stands and natural regeneration. Throughout Prussia the beech is being coaxed back among the Scotch pine stands. Saxony, where spruce was raised in pure stands for successive generations, has realized that this repetition of the same crop, however profitable, soon exhausts the soil. “Another striking example of this progress is Professor Wagner’s ‘Blendersaumschlag’ or Border Cuttings, whereby he regenerates naturally under shelter working from the northern GRADUATES CLASS OF 1906 133 side, where is the maximum of sun and wind protection, towards the southern side of the stand. “In methods of artificial regeneration what struck me par- ticularly is the abandoning of the many complex planting instru- ments in favor of that simplest of all tools, the mattock. No more jamming of the seedling into the earth with crumpled, often injured root system, but a ‘natural,’ normal planting by hand in a mattock-made hole. “Finally I must mention the tendency away from large cut- ting areas with their attendant increased dangers of fire, drought, insects, fungi, wind, etc., towards smaller cutting areas and more of them: more points of attack as initial points in a well-planned cutting series progressing against the prevailing wind direction.” Recknagel is an Episcopalian, and in politics is a Republican.

Clyde S. Martin Business address, Elma Camp, No. 1, Saginaw Timber Company, Aberdeen, Wash. Residence, 304 West Third Street, Aberdeen, Wash. Clyde Sayers Martin was born September 19, 1884, in Waynesburg, Pa., the son of Charles Alexander Martin, one of the first teachers in the Calcutta Boys School, India, and Florence Adelaide (Sayers) Martin.

Since July ro, 1912, he has held the position of logging engineer with the Saginaw Timber Company. He writes: “My work here has grown entirely apart from forestry as a profession in itself. It is rather logging engineer- ing in its broader sense; going on the theory that after all is said and done logging is a problem of transportation primarily. In this country of large timber our operations have developed GRADUATES ‘CLASS OF 1907 165 on such a large scale that the larger companies have found pressing need for a systematization of methods and accounting. A technically trained man working from a basis of thorough understanding of present methods and conditions is preéminently the man for this work. It takes years of hard preparatory work under actual logging conditions to fit a man for such a position, but the future promises great things for the man who will persevere until he is a recognized authority on scientific logging. And it is the forester working from the inside, with a full knowledge of actual conditions who can best say to what extent forestry may be practiced by the logger. Briefly, these are the lines upon which I am working and by which I hope to show that there is a field for the technical man in private work.” He is a member of the Methodist church and in politics is a Progressive Republican. He is a member of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo. David T. Mason United States Forest Service, Missoula, Mont. David Townsend Mason was born March 11, 1883, in Newark, N. J., the son of William B.

Louis S. Murphy Business address, United States Forest Service, Washington, D. C. Home address, 4 Thurston Street, Winter Hill Station, Boston, Mass. Louis Sutliffe Murphy was born August 10, 1876, in Boston, Mass., the son of Joseph Henry Murphy and Elizabeth Marion (Atkins) Murphy. He is the grandson on his father’s side of Michael Thomas Murphy, born in Ireland in 1797, and Eleanor Jane (O’Neal) Murphy, born in Canterbury, England, in 1806, who were married in Halifax, N. S., Canada, in 1831. His mother’s foster parents were Sophronia Elizabeth Atkins and Caleb Upham Atkins. He was prepared at the Forster Grammar School, Somerville, Mass., and at the Boston English High School and from July, 1805, to Sep- tember, 1807, was a clerk in the insurance office of O’Brion & Russell, Boston. In 1901 he received the degree of B.S. from Tufts College, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta. From r1oor to 1905 he was employed as chemist in the North Packing & Provision Company of Somerville, Mass. He is unmarried. Murphy has been a forest examiner in the United States Forest Service since January, 1910. He was forest assistant from July, 1907, to January, 1910. From November, I9II, to May, 1912, he was in Porto Rico studying its forest problems and formulating a forest policy for the Island as a whole and for Luquillo National Forest. GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 167 He writes: ‘Porto Rico presents unusual interest for the forester just now, for, unless all signs fail, both the Forest Service and the Government of Porto Rico will soon need one or more trained foresters to direct the forestry operations which each seems destined to institute in the near future. Conditions in Porto Rico are ripe for the practice of intensive forestry from the start. Formerly well timbered, the Island is now only sparsely wooded. Not only have its inhabitants—now number- ing 1,116,000 or 325 persons per square mile,—drawn freely upon this resource in the past, and even destroyed it to make way for agriculture and cattle raising, but considerable timber has also been exported. “A dense population, geographic isolation, short hauling dis- tances, a productive soil, a year round growing season, and an abundant native tree flora, not to mention exotics, constitute the materials at hand. The forest fire menace is negligible and frosts are unknown, although excessive precipitation, the trade- winds, and an occasional hurricane will have to be given con- sideration. The production of cabinet woods for export will have no place in Porto Rican forestry, since local consumption will take care of all that the lands available for forestry will produce. Wood for fuel is most urgently needed, also for posts and house piling, structural materials for native use, and for boxes and crates for the shipment abroad of the fruit and other products of the Island. “Altogether the working out of a successful forest policy to meet these various needs, as well as the demands for a protective cover to aid in the control of erosion, for shade along roads and in cattle pastures, and the like, holds out alluring possibili- ties for those who would enter a pioneer field.” He attends the Unitarian church and in politics is a Repub- lican. From December, 1902, to June, 1905, he served as private in Troop A (National Lancers), 1st Battalion Cavalry, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. At Yale he received an elec- tion to Sigma Xi. He is a member of the American Forestry Association and the Society of American Foresters, is a Mason and belongs to the Somerville Lodge, 917, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. 168 YALE FOREST SCHOOL Gustave C.

He writes: “Travel since leaving Yale has embraced prac- tically all the states in this country; Hawaii; the Philippine Islands; China and Japan. Most interesting was the work in the Philippines, not only in exploration of new countries and under conditions entirely different from those at home, but in the scientific and practical value of the results. There was GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 171 enough excitement incidental to these explorations to satisfy one for the time. In China and Japan I got an insight into these great civilizations and the currents of interest. Especially interesting was an extended trip in those parts of China where the revolution was at its height but a short time later. In District 4, I did extensive work along the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and also in the desert regions of Nevada. Since then, have been on the intensive problems of New York State.” Concerning politics, Rosenbluth writes: “Am a Democrat— progressive, with strong leanings toward Socialism; believe, however, that the Democratic party is a more efficient means towards that end than is the present Socialist party.” He is a member of the Y.

He was prepared at the Rutgers Preparatory School and received the degrees of B.A. in 1905 and M.A. in 1908 from Rutgers College, where he was a member of Chi Psi. He is unmarried. GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 173 Wilber was employed with the William M. Ritter Lumber Company of West Virginia from June, 1907, to January, 1908, when he became forest assistant in District 4 of the United States Forest Service. Since July, 1910, he has held the position of New Jersey state fire warden for the New Jersey Forest Commission. He writes: “Nearly two million acres of forest, largely within reach of densely populated centers, traversed by an unusual mileage of good roads, criss-crossed by a thousand miles of rail- road, and in large part without the telephone, present in New Jersey a field of work in forest protection in which a strong foundation has been laid, but which still offers a wide scope for work on the superstructure. “Control of this situation now rests on a state fire warden with four helpers, 275 local men under a township warden system, and a small corps of fire lookouts and patrolmen. Though it has its weaknesses, experience has proved that the local system can eventually be relied on. The public understands the fight on fire because it sees results and the local effort pro- ducing them. The short step from forest protection to forest development is taken by yearly increasing numbers. An annual retainer of $10 to $20 to the wardens, with reasonable but not attractive pay to them and all fighters at a fire, elicits creditable activity and ready response whenever need arises. A _ strict requirement of permits for all brush burning throughout the year but latitude in handling individual situations by special annual permits has engendered universal caution without causing excessive inconvenience. Rigid imposition of some penalty for every violation of the law, but the possibility of a reasonable adjustment of its severity to the specific case, have made supporters instead of enemies of most offenders. “High efficiency comes slowly, but the fires are growing smaller and their aggregate area less. Carelessness is giving way to caution. Offenders punished now number hundreds yearly. The woodlands, so repeatedly burned heretofore and long rated of little value, are showing the effect of fire control, for forests are spontaneous throughout the state and their recu- perative powers prodigious. New Jersey, therefore, stands committed to a policy of establishing forest values, existent and potential, by guaranteed protection from fire.” 174 YALE FOREST SCHOOL He is a member of the Dutch Reformed church.

I was there principally con- cerned with timber sale work and secured some figures on the workings of the log scale in use in the Service which I am told has been of much value. The following summer I spent in the Washington office of the Service as district forester. Was shortly afterward sent to the Leadville National Forest in Colo- rado, where I remained about a year and a half doing principally administrative work. In the spring of 1909 I was transferred to the Targhee as deputy supervisor, work altogether adminis- trative, and that fall was placed in charge of the Pocatello Forest, where I have been since. My principal interest from a professional standpoint is in forestation problems. Since I have been on this forest I have had a chance to engage in that line on an extensive scale with some degree of success, but with results still mainly undetermined.” He is affiliated with the Congregational church.

The timber in the southern portion of the Province is similar to that north of the 45th parallel of latitude, and west of the 115th parallel of longitude in the United States, with the dif- ference that the valleys in British Columbia are narrower, and 192 YALE. FOREST SCHOOL the mountains are steeper and higher, and there is a smaller proportion of very heavy timber. In the northern portion of British Columbia the timber consists chiefly of spruce and large pine, and does not extend far from the rivers and lakes. “The merchantable area of the Province has been estimated at from 50 to 60 million acres. “The Government has pursued the policy of refusing to part with the title of timber land. Only about one million acres of timber land have been granted in fee simple to private parties. About nine million acres of timber land have been leased to private individuals. The remainder of the forest land, consist- ing chiefly of timber at present considered inaccessible, and all burned-over land covered with reproduction is still in the hands of the Crown. “The present revenue of the Province from timber leases and from the royalty of 50 cents per thousand charged on all timber cut amounts to $2,600,000 per year. This revenue will be largely increased as the development proceeds. The indications are now that there will be a rapid advance in the next few years. “The new Forest Branch has been formed under the guidance of Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Price, to administer the timber lands and to develop the country by a wise forestry policy for the Province. The Forest Branch is very young. There are at present about twenty foresters, but the indications are that the staff will need to be very largely increased during the next two or three years. In order that the rangers and foresters may be secured it is the intention of the Government to establish a forestry school in connection with the new provincial university.” He is a member of the Presbyterian church.

Since May 15, 1911, he has held the position of assistant state forester of Minnesota. He writes: “The first organized attempt to carry on forestry work in Minnesota was authorized by the passage of the IQII Forest Law. A few months later I undertook to hold down the job of assistant state forester. In this position I have had a 200 YALE FOREST SCHOOL try at nearly every phase of forestry work that one could imagine. “Fire protection was of course the first work. At the outset we assumed that the majority of fires could be prevented simply by having the right kind of men distributed throughout the forest district, to remind people of the dangers of fire and also point out situations where dangerous fires are liable to occur. This naturally led us to the question of handling fires which originate from railroad rights-of-way and to the disposal of slash following logging operations. “The railroads are now working in complete harmony with this department, not only to prevent fires being started from their locomotives, but also to extinguish any which may start near the rights-of-way. They now realize that it is money well spent to prevent fires on their rights-of-way, and also—what is of more importance to us—that the care of railroad fires rests with the companies themselves. “Our district rangers have been selected with the greatest care, and it is on them we depend for working out the details of slash disposal on practically every logging job or woods operation in the state. We have of course made it clear to the rangers what are the objects of slash disposal, but it is up to them to decide on the methods which will fulfill these objects. Under certain conditions the slash must be disposed of as log- ging proceeds; under others it must be burned in the early spring; or it may be sufficient simply to dispose of the slashings for a specified distance on either side of all logging roads and on the boundaries of the logged-over tract. “We have divided the forested area of the state into fourteen large districts, with a ranger in charge of each. Under each ranger there are patrolmen, the number of whom varies with the necessity of patroling against the spread of fires. Aside from this force, each railroad company provides patrolmen sufficient to protect their rights-of-way. The lumber and mining companies provide patrolmen of their own accord or when requested to do so. A number of the townships have also levied a special tax, to pay for a township patrolman and provide a fire fighting fund. Telephones, trails, cabins and lookout towers have been constructed to aid in the fire protection work. - GRADUATES CLASS OF 1908 201 “The opportunities for forestry work, I believe, are the best in this state of any east of the Rockies. A great quantity of timber is still uncut, and its utilization is a field in which the forester may help. At present only a small area of land is under the exclusive management of this department. The dis- posal of three and one-half millions of acres of state school lands is provided for in the state constitution, but since a great deal of this land is suitable only for growing timber, the consti- tution will eventually be changed so that the forest land can be handled as such. Aside from this there are millions of acres of privately owned land which must in time come back to the state and will be used for the growth of timber. We are gath- ering data to show the character and extent of all such non- agricultural lands and when we have gathered sufficient data the matter will be in shape for legislation. We have estimated the amount of non-agricultural land in the state which should be kept growing timber continuously, at about fifteen million acres. To acquire such an amount of land and put it under forest management looks like some job for the foresters.” He is a member of the Roman Catholic church.

Early in 1911 he wrote: “Since the career of mechanical engineer and of naval architect had ever seemed, throughout my college course, so equally entic- ing that a decision between them was exceedingly difficult, it was perhaps only natural that after graduation I should have clutched eagerly the birchen rod of the school teacher. For two years I was instructor of mathematics and physics at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass. Having thus given myself ample time for choosing between the above-mentioned careers, I promptly entered the Yale Forest School, where I spent another two years in trying not to remember with what contempt I had, as an undergraduate, looked upon all members of the graduate departments of the Uni- versity. Last March I passed through the ordeal of Civil Service examinations with sufficient success to be ordered westward, in July. Ever since I have been contentedly busy on the Helena National Forest, a very scattered area of some nine hundred thousand acres, lying anywhere from one to forty miles from the city of Helena, Mont. My work has been as diverse as is usual in this line of activity—including timber-estimating, land classifi- cation, surveying, mapping, and trying to remember which side of a horse it is more orthodox to attempt to ascend—but the major part of my time has been devoted to the Boulder Nursery, where I serve as chief nursemaid to some four million infant pines and firs.” He is a Republican—“probably progressive.” He is a member of the Episcopal church.

For a period of nearly two years I was assigned to work on the Chelan National Forest. This forest adjoins the main range of the Cascade Mountains (in the state of Washington) and has a very rugged topography of which I became fully aware before completing the extensive reconnaissance of the forest. The unique feature of this forest is the long and narrow lake included within its boundaries, which is at once a wonderful piece of natural scenery, and an effective aid to travel and fire protection. My work on this forest con- sisted almost wholly in estimating timber and in managing a timber sale. “T am at present located upon the Whitman National Forest (Oregon), where for the past summer (1912) I have engaged in intensive reconnaissance. This work consists in the map- ping of topography, the forest types timber cover, and an accu- rate examination and classification of the land to determine 244 YALE FOREST SCHOOL its value for agricultural purposes. In addition, the value of each section (the work thus far has been in surveyed country) is determined for grazing and an accurate 10 per cent. estimate is made by an estimator who works along with the compass— or map man. The accuracy of mapping is dependent to a very large extent on skilled use of the pocket compass and maintaining a consistent pace for all varieties of topography.” George A.
