CHANGE IN FORESTRY DEPT.

Courses in the Forestry School which have hitherto been given in Cambridge, will be removed to the Bussey Institution, Jamaica Plain, this spring, according to recent plans by the Department of Forestry. At present, that spring, summer, and early fall are spent at the Harvard Forest, Petersham, Mass., and the winter months at Cambridge where lectures have been given in Lawrence and Robinson Halls.

The plan is to give such courses where the facilities are best. The University has really remarkable facilities for studies in the practical side of forestry management, logging and the like, at Petersham; while the facilities for studying entomology, pathology, and biology at the Bussey Institution and the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain are practically in unlimited. Next to the Kew Gardens in England the Arnold Arboretum, is the best equipped of its kind in the world, and the Bussey Institution is the best of its kind in this country.

With the change in location will go a radical change in the forestry courses. Instead of a two-years general course there will now be one year of general work, at Petersham from April to December and at the Bussey Institution from December to April, and one year on specialization in some definite direction. There will be four specializing fields in the second year and men will study in the place best fitted for their courses, at Petersham or at the Bussey Institution. All the equipment now in Cambridge will be moved to Jamaica Plain in time to begin work there next fall.

The pamphlet of the Division of Forestry, containing in full the details of the change, may be obtained at the Publication Office after vacation.
