Every year the deudrologv class spends a short time at the arborteum of the late Honorable J. Sterling Morton and in the forest growth along the Missouri River. In order to stimulate individual work in research, to give the student experience in publishing arti- cles and furnish a ready means of putting valuable little scien- titic items on forestry into jirint, the Forestry Club puts out an annual publication of about one hundred pages. The author of each paper is afforded the chance to supervise all of the steps of proofreading and corrections incident to the printing of his article. The graduate work includes, besides the forestry subjects taught in the class-room, a course in research on some for- estry jiroblem and a thesis, also on a forestry problem.

These courses give the candi- date a chance to become well acquainted with the literature on forestry besides giving good practice in writing. In addi- tion to the required university work the candidate must have had at least one year's practical field experience along foresti'y lines. This experience may be obtained by using the vacations of four summers or by renuiin- ing a solid year in the field. The location of the University of Nebraska is such that this ruling is not a hardship to the candidate, for, the Lake States, the Ozarks, the Colorado Rockies, the ]?lack Hills are not far fr(ini Lincoln, and are about equally distant, while but a short distance farther the Southern Pineries, the Southwest or the Idaho- Montana region is reached. Provision is made in the graduate school for interchanging majors and minors between forestry and several other departments, giving the graduate student an opi)ortunity to specialize i
