HAROLD E, MEEKER

• All budding foresters dream of someday becomi ng promi nent in their profession. For Hayden

E . Meeker t his dream has c ome . true 1 but he would be the first to t ell you that the road to success is a long , uphill grind of gai ni ng experience and applying it, In the spring of 1940, Hayden Meeker entered forestry with a Bachelor of Science degree and .-_: surplus of enthusiasm. At t hi s time , opportunities in forestry were very limited. How­

e ver 1 Hayden and two c lassmates landed a job with the Wood- Mosaic Company in Louisville , Kent ucky at $85 per mont h . While with the Wood M osaic Company, Hayden worked on the green chain, rode the carriage, kept mill accounting records , and bought and graded logs and l umber. In January 1941, he went to t he circular mill in Hannibal , Missouri where he per ­ formed practically every job done a t a s mall mill. In June 1941, there occurred the first happy event of his life . In his own words, "Miss

LaVerne Baus , Purdue '42 1 agreed t o spend her life with me •• • But then in January 1942 , t he Army put him on active duty. During the war Hayden spent approximately t hree year s in the 2nd Armored (Hell on Wheels) Division, 14th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, and saw service

i n Africa , Sicily 1 England , and Europe . When discharged at the end of the war , he was a Battery Commander and Battalion Air Officer. However , he continued in the Reserves until 1953 , as Executive Officer for a n Anti-Aircra ft Battalion. In 1945 , Hayden joined the W eyerhauser Timber Company, Tacoma , Washington , a s a Project Forest e r i n t hei r ne w ly organi zed Forest Re s earc h Department. This depa rtment es­ • tablished several hundred sample pl ots on Wey erhauser's t i mberlands which extended from British Columbia to Californi a . Hayden' s major jobs were laying out t hes e plots and de­ t e rmining growth and yield from the field measurement s. I n addition, he graduated from their l umber school a t the world's largest saw mill i n Longview , Wa s hington. The heavy rai nfall was finally too much for the Meeker family, and i n September of 1948 , Hayden, Mrs. Meeker, and two-year- old Hayden HI returne d to the midwest and drier c limates . In Sept ember 1948 , Hayden returned to Purdue to work t oward a M . s . F. in management, t s ilviculture, and s t atistics. While working for t hi s degree he did some t eac hi ng , worked on

Roy Brundage's Sawmill St udy Proje ct 1 a nd did some consulting work . He rec ei ved the degree inJune 1950. In March 1953 , the Meekers were blessed with a second child, Judith Anne •. To fulfill his desire t o work in the sales end of forestry, Hayden joi ned the Purdy-Ammon Lumber Company of Cinci nnati, and finally went with the Atlas Lumber Company, als o of Cincinnati. Eventually he became a partner in Atlas Hardwoods , Inc . , and Sec retary- Trea s ­ urer of thi s company. To s ummarize h is feelings t owards t he Fo restry and Lumber busi ness , Hayden t ells the followi ng story . "A friend of mi ne , who i s a l most 9 0 y ear s old and has been in the lumber busi ness s ince· he was 15 , told me thi s. "Each year I believe I have experienced everythi ng t hat could oc cur i n the whole sa l e lumber business , and every year an event occurs which ma kes me realize that I still have more t o learn".

The first Purdue Forestry Camp, held in the summer of 1929, on Clark State Forest, was unique in several respects. The entire Forestry student body was there, ranging from those who had just finished their fres hman year to those ready to start their senior year. Current camp staff members probably would claim it to be impossible to teach a group exhibiting such a 1range in training. Yet it was done, and successfully, with this first group. Those whose conception of camp life is one of roughing it would have enjoyed this first summer. There was no water supply of any kind at the camp site; water for drinking, cooking and dish washing was hauled in in milk cans. When rains left pools in-the usually dry creeks there were opportunities for bathing and doing laundry. Sanitary facilities such as exist today were not even a dream then! The "old red barn" (which it litera lly was) provided space for cooking and dining, and a lso doubled as a study hall. The colored cook claimed t o be a meat (fat pork, that is) cook, but the quantities of French t oast served by him were such as to satisfy the desires of some of the students for French toast for 25 years afterwards, even though originally they may have considered it a tasty dish. Also, his system of cooking was such that food which could not be fried was considered as hardly fit for human consumption. Living quarters consisted of tents erected over wood platforms, each one accommodating two men. Even by standards of those days they were not spacious, having enough space for two bunks and a walkway between. Other than the tents and the red bam the only other "structure " in camp was a canvas fly stretched as a roof over a platform, providing a spot for visiting and loafing in the shade. The nature of the work done by the students was quite similar to that in more recent camps--­ de ndrology, silvics, silviculture, nursery work, mensuration, and surveying, a nd surveying, and surveying. The 7:30A.M. hour currently in vogue for starting the working day would have been a hardship on those first campers. Starting time was after the mail had been delivered a nd rea d--­ usually from 8 to 8:30. With one student car (a Model T Ford, of course) in camp there was not the evening and week­ end exodus which now occurs. Entertainment in camp consisted of a crank-wound phonograph; other than that it was largely what the students could provide themselves. Twenty-three of the twenty-eight students at camp finished their forestry training. Of these twenty-three , about two-thirds of them still are in forestry or related activities, and a t least six of them have taken graduate training to earn M.S. or Ph .D. degrees. An interesting note is that two staff members a ssociated with that first camp have been with the Department ever since; they a re "Prof" Pre ntice and Dan DenUyl. New U. §.

Since the summer of 1929 nearly 800 student s and staff have studied , and taught, and cried , and laughed, and sweat, and learned , and lived , a t the Forestry Camp , Henryville, Indiana. But on August 1 , 1958, t he friendly mess hall , the familiar study hall , the crowded cabins, the humid wash room , and the privies , were boarded u p for the last time , and the camp al::andoned. But memories of t he camp will never die, and for years to c ome Purdue foresters will talk about "when the camp was a t Henryville . "

The final Henryville c amp had certain things in common with the fi rst camp: The s tudents com­ plained about the food , about poison ivy, about mice building nes ts in their c lothi ng , and about being ove rworked. They also lacked a certai n modern convenience . But camp life was not as rough , and not in the least isolated . The re was unlimited water , there was e lectricity throughout the c amp , and the students brought nineteen radios , one televi s i on set, and twenty - three cars to camp. No r i n the final camp did the students s urvey , and survey, and survey. Instead, they studied forest ecology and forest s oils and wrote reports , and wrote reports , and wrote reports .

In 195 8 a typical day started at 6:00A. M. with the ringing of the bell by the student officer of the day . Those men who did not respond to the bell w ere personally "c a lled" by the 0 , D. , or, in some cases, by the Camp Director. Remember !! After breakfast and the details were completed, the entire group assembled i n the study hall. Re member ! ! After explanations were completed, pa rties assigned, and equi pment issued, it was t o t he field . For any Purdue forester a few phrases will conjure memories of those da ys in the field: "Damn it, YOU were supposed to bring the tape !! "Who has the correction factors??" "CHAIN ! !! STICK!!! STUCK!! !" "Hurry u p , it' s starting to ra i n !! " "Do I have to go THROUGH that poi son ivy?? !!" "What ! Sardines agai n?! " "Do you ha ve any fie ld splices for the tape? "

The field work ended about 4:45 P.M. Shower s , and often a brief nap , preceded dinner at 5 :30 • • For many that hour or so after dinner between twilight and dark was the best part of the day. Some pitched horseshoes , or shot baskets, or played volleyball; others jus ~ sat a nd talked. But when ,I da rkness came on, there was studying t o do, or a show to attend, or a softball game t o play, or •• • •

"And so with this camp we are done , And while it hasn't a ll been fun , We do remember with satanic joys The time that a group of the boys , Took down the bell and dropped the clapper

The new forestry camp is nestled in a virgin stand of hemlock and birch on the sout h shore of Lost Lake in the Nicolet National Forest near Tipler, Wisconsin. The physical facilities at the camp i nclude a main lodge, eight student cabi ns (24 by 2 4 feet), three st aff cabins , a cook 's cabin, two shower houses with modern plumbing , and a utility building. All s t ructures a re covered with rough sawn vertical siding of a russet hue. Purdue se­ cured title to t he buildings from the Federal Gov­ ernment, and leased the ten acres of land which the buildings occupy from the Forest Service . Surrounding t he Camp are several hundr e d thousand acres of National Forest land for in­ struction and recreation. The cover types i n ­ clude aspen- paper birch , mixed conifer swamp , hemlock , nort hern hardwoods, swamp hardwoods , tamarack , muskeg, white cedar, jack pine, black spruc e , red pine , white pine , and a variety of planta tions. Numerous deer and s ome bear roam the area , and all the lakes and streams produce good fish. Lost Lake yields bass up to six pounds , and some s ixteen- inch brook trout. The Pine River which flows within two miles of c amp contai ns German brown and rainbow trout of five to s i x pounds. Indeed , for the study of forestry a n d wildlife , and for " recreating " ,this area pro­ vides superb outdoor environment. The first session of t he Lost Lake Forestry Camp will o fficially begi n on June 7 , 1959 , and continue until August 8 , 1959 .

Mississippi S1Ulmmer Camp September lst was the be ginning of the annual two- week senior forestry camp in Miss­ issi ppi. The purpose of the camp i s to gi ve the forestry seniors an introduction t o southern pine s ilviculture and a first h and account of the wood- using industries of Mississippi and Louisiana. Our home base was the summer camp grounds of the Mississippi State Forestry School loc ated near Wiggins and managed by J. Butle r Brown. Dr. Clair (Fuzzy) Merritt a nd Dr. f Oti s (Sleepy) Hall were the i nstr uctors in charge . Dr. Merritt's nickname seems t o have originated from a small unruly patch which he cultivated b e tween his nose a nd upper lip . A schedule of industry tour stops was handed out the first day and the general consensus was, "We'll never get all the se place s - we don't ha ve time" . Ha! It was surpri si ng to see how much of the twenty- four hour day could be spent on a bus . How many cheese sandwiches did Rufus send with us each day? Of course there were some field exercises concocted by the instructors i n which we spent more time wondering where the snakes were than where the next plot was to be locat e d. Any­ one need a snakebite kit? The industry stops comprised a good maj ority of the two weeks. We visited International Pape r Co mpany, Masonite Corporation , Gaylord Conta i ner Corporation, Crosby Fore st Pro­ ducts, a nd Gulfport Creosting Company, just to mention a few. There were free periods to be sure , and at one time or anot her most e veryone visited Gulf­

Excitement existed even when we were on scheduled trips . One evening on t he way back from a tour of the bottomla nd a reas, we were caught on a levee during a sudden "monsoon" , and the hard dirt road suddenly changed i nto a sea of s lippery mud. Law forbids vehicles from traveling on the levees under these conditions and so the professors chose the nearest exit. Down a hairpin curve and into a farmer's fi e ld w e nt two Purdue buses and a jeep be­ longing t o the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, Dr. Merritt and Dr. Hall soon decided we had t aken a wrong turn, so back up to the levee the buses sli pped and groane d. W ith forty men gi ving directions at once it wasn't too long before we made it back to Catfish Point Camp, our stop over for two nights.

Purdue Foresters were fortunate this year to have the opportunity to attend t he 36th Central States Section Meeting of the Society of American Foresters held during Oct­ ober in the Purdue Memorial Center. Ninty percent of t hos.e eligible are ;student- mem­ bers of the Society, however, members and non-members alike were i nvited to attend. The meeting was a valuable experience for a ll who came. Panel discu ssions gave stu­ dents the opportunity to question practicing foresters on the subjects discussed. The value of these discussions was increased by the presence of Georg e A. Garret, pres­ ident of the Socie ty of American Foresters , and Arthur B, Meyer, editor of the Journal. Robert R. Paton of the Ohio Forestry Association was elected the new president re­ placing C. I. Miller of Purdue . H. F. Si emert , assistant Illinois State Forester, was elected vice-president, and John C, Callahan from Purdue, secretary- treasurer. Other members of the Purdue staff participating in the program were , R. C. Brundage, Otis F, Hall , and S. K. Suddarth.

3Z Dean Garrett addresses the annual banquet

Dean Garrett was the principal speaker of the annua l banquet. His address on "The Forestry Professi on a nd t he Furture ", pointed up the part educa tion _w ill play in deveioping future leader s in forestry. In Dea n Garrett's words .. • ••. "The future of forestry in t he United Stat es depends on the ability of the profession to meet the de mands and opportunities of t he changing times--a s these relate to education, to research, to forest practice in both the grow­ ing of raw materials and the ir conversion to useful products , a nd t o t he need for h a rmoniz ­ ing the divergent and often conflicting obje ctives of the multi ple-use and single purpose in­ terests. " "Of these areas of concern, the most vit al to t he long time health of our profession i s tha t of education. For what our forestry schools do during the next decade or two, in de ve loping the talents and attitude s of young men , will large ly dete rmine the course of the profession a t the end of t he present century . Forma l instruction in our schools will, of course , be signifi­ c a nt i n t he educational process. But only a small part of the t otal e ducation of our future leaders will come from a ny formal program; more i mporta nt than the program of study i s the s election of students with inherent ca pacity for l earning , for continued self-education, a nd for l eadershi p . Our primary professi onal problem toda y and t omorrow, is t o e nroll in our forestry schools the best minds we can a ttract, and then to provide them with a type of educationa l process th at will afford maxi mum opportunity for intellectual development." "If our c olleges and universities are to prepare men for forestry leader shi p , they must pay i ncreased attention to the intellectual capacity, basic training , a nd personal a ttributes of the s t udents they a ttract. Over the years , in dealing with graduate students, I h ave become in­ crea singly convinced tha t character, native ability , and personality are the chief detriments of a man's ultimate professional success, when combined with sound t echnical compet ence. Given a s tudent V-mo has the capacity for 'thinki ng logically and imaginatively, communica ting with others effectively, making relative judgments, and discriminating between values , a nd w ho ha s the a bility to combine t hese basic qualities with sound technical compet ence', the success of such a ma n in school and in his lat er professiona l career ar e virtua lly assure d, if he can find in these periods of his life the challenge his mind demands. Put more s imply, excellence of raw materia l is essential to a ny high-quality product." DeanGarrett' s a ddress ende d the meeting on a challenging note fe lt by a ll stude nts pre­ sent. Having the section meeting on c a mpus gave the student members a feeling of partic ipa­ tion in the society. It i s hoped such participation will follow in the future.

33 Continuous Forest Control Modern Management In Forestry - The forester of today has a new tool for the management of that complex and unwieldy factory of wood, water, and other goods and services - the forest . Actually this tool, continuous forest inventory, is a combination of existing techniques now being applied to forestry. It has given American foresters the necessary information to put int o practice forest management decision methods that had been used infrequently or known only thru theoretical descriptions in textbooks . forest growth rate has long been a key figure in formulas for regulating the cut of a sus tained yield level, yet obtai ning it for large a reas has frequently been c onsidered too expensive. Another forest statistic, mortalit y loss , has been known to be great, but, without concrete figures as to it s ext ent, specific programs t o reduce such losses have often been neglected. Where recent aerial photo cover­ age was not available , a rapid forest inventory of a large. property at one point in time seldom was made. Many times, even after field inventory work was completed, the data were only partially analyzed or not at all, or the results when a chieved were t oo out- dated to be of use in current decisions . By com­ bining permanent plots , sampling , aeri al photos were available , machine data processing , and statisti­ c al met ho ds, c ontinuous forest c ontrol places current data in the forest manager's hands so he can apply the best management met hods to his problems . Amer ican continuous forest inventory was originated by C. B. Stott and L. W. Winner for an in­ vent ory of the M enomi nee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin in the 1940's. Since then the met hod has been adopted as a basic management tool by foresters responsible for millions of acres. As the result of refinement s in technique, pri nci pally by Stott but also by others , the system today is essentially as follows: f 1 . A number of 1/5 - acre (or o ther size) permanent pl ots are established in an unbiased manner over the entire forest, aggregating a sample varying around 0 . OS % of the total acreage. 2 . All trees a re permanently marked, wlth paint or tags, and carefully measured as to d.b. h . and usable lengt h . They may a lso be classified as t o soundness, vigor, , log grade , or other qualities. 3. All data are rec orded in the field on mark- sense or pu.nched cards - one card for each tree . 4 . As soon as the data are brought from the field, they are compietely analyzed on pu nch - card ma­ chines accordi ng to a plan c arefully prepare d before field work began. A complete inventory with all desired deta il is available within several weeks to a month after completion of the field work. 5 . After 3 t o 5 years the plot s a.re again visited, the trees remeasured, and the data again analyzed, to give an accurate estimate of growt h rate.

The signific ance of the term continuous fores t control becomes apparent when the analysisof the i nvent ory reaches the forest manager. He i s now i n a much better position to control scientifically the production of hi s forest . The effic iency o f every functioni ng organism , whether a single animal or an army or an indus trial firm , depe nds upon the rapidity and accuracy of the communication syst em which monitors the results bei ng obtai ned, analyzes these observations , and transmits the conclusions back to the point at which the organism is controlled. The nervo us s ystem of an animal and i ntelligence corps o f an a rmy serve. t hi s pur pose. In a large indu s tria l conc ern a network of re ports, a ccount s, and per­ s onal c ommunications serves to feed back s ignificant data to those who must make the controlling de­ cis i ons . With continuo us fo rest invent ory t he forest er can operate on a par with t he proau~,; non e .. - g ineer and t he a ccountant i n havi ng current i nformation w ith which to make his decis i ons a nd t o ex­ plai n his operations t o superior s .

As this drawing shows 1 up-to- date information on fores t inventory and growth rates can aid in de­ ciding whether the annual cutting rate should be raised or lowered, and where logging should be con­ centra te d, For the industrial forester these decis ions will be reflected in the program of w ood purchase from out s ide the forest. The needs for timber stand improvement, planting , a change to utilization of lesser species and other silvicultural practices can be assessed. Up t o the present , one of the most important findings of CFC in industrial forests has been the startling mortality losses - 30% to 40% of t he gross increment or s e ve ral hundred thousand c ords of wood annua lly. With the use of dependable CFC data plans for logging , road building, and utilization can be altered to divert potential mortality into the flow of usable raw mat erial . The control possibilities of this system have scarcely bee n touched, but the near future ~hould see much more effective forest control springing from t he great amount of current information in the man­ ager' s hands . One of the first s teps wi ll be to convert to dollar values the volume units of cords, board feet, and cubic feet. These values can then enable the forest manager to arbitrate among the diverse fact ors of sp eci e~ differences, accessibility, fluctuating markets, silvicultural and logging costs , a nd mortality risks to provide wood a t a minimum cost while still" satisfying the requi rements of sustained yield. Another possibility i s t o use t he growth ra tes on the plots to give a productivity _classification, for soils or fore st types . As controlled cutting proceeds , t he syst em can be used to evaluate the reactions of residual trees .and regeneration to various cutting methods. Predictable patterns of r eaction to cutting methods will emerge, and through the use of a la rge electronic computer a number of alternative cutting programs can be compared on a mathematical model of the forest. The outcome of each alternative will be approximated in terms of volume , value , and species composition of t he flow of products , as well as the character of the remaining fores t a fter any g iven period of time . It is also q uite conceivable that all records of each compartment in a forest property will be on punched cards or tapes, a nd the comput e r will rapidly inspect all records and p repare a .;utting budget to give any desired volume of products at the lowest cost commensurate with silvicultural requir~ments for sustained yield, a high rate of val ue growth, min­ imum risk of mortality loss , and the protection of scenic_, watershed, and wildlife values . At first thought many foresters may feel that application of the methods set forth above would be un­ fortunate , a sacrifice of the art in forestry, and a hopeless attempt to control a living ecological coH,­ munity as though it were a s1mpl e rna chme .

3!; On furthe r reflection, however, the silviculturist and ecol ogist will see in CFC a means of following the natural forest changes on a scale never before possibl e; in fact the system is an extension of the permanent pl ot initially used as a tool of silvicultural research. The observations on CFC plots can be made of any phenomena desired, such as minor vegatation, soil, microclimat e, or tree regent:lration. The summarization of these observations can lead to research results of a very basic nature , or t o conclusions of great significance in t he management of the forest property so surveyed. Furthe rmore the control system so established can serve as a means of funneling r esearch findings from many sour-.es into active management. Such a system w ill make the increase in our knowledge of the tundamental processes of tree and forest growt h even more imperative if control measures are to be effective and if forest growth and safety from risk are to keep pace with the growing demand for wood. While the act ual achievement of such high degrees of forest control may seem remote, progress in that direction is being made . The objective of the Graduate Program in Continuous Forest Control, es­ tablished at Purdue University in 1957, is to educat e foresters to handle the se advanced tools while retaining a practical appreciation of the difficulties of woods o perations. Training in statistics, machine operations , i ndustria l management, and e conomics , as well as further work in forest management and silviculture, a re the backbone of the program . Even though the forester never uses the CFC system, familiarity with i ndustrial management methods and machine data - processing will be valuable. Machine computations are widely used in research and in many o perational problems such as cut and fill cal­ c ulations in road building and measurement corrections in photogrammetric surveying. Many firms keep land ownership and accounting records on punched cards. With such tools at his command the trained forester should be able to organize forests for production at a level far above that possible by men un­ trained in the science of forestry. Many woodlands departments of i ndustria l firms have one of a group of foresters permanently assigned to the gathering and analysis of CFC data. As t hese men gain mastery of their methods and access to better data- processing facilities, their abilities t o control the forest will increase and the great potentia ls of CFC will be realized.

Throughout the year many g uests were invited to speak on t opics of general interest as well as t opics rela ting to the forestry field. Mr. Ed Hall , manager of pulpwood operations and procurement for Container Corpora tion of America, spoke to t he club about the plant's operation at C arthage, Indiana, and the future of hardwood pulp in southern Indiana, A very colorful t a lk and slide program was given by Mr, Bruce Maunder, g ra d uat e student in the Agronomy Department, on agricultural and fore stry aspects of Italy and Europe, In January, one of our graduat e student s , Dave Mech, presented a very i nteresting slide lecture on his research project in New York---"The Black Bears of t he Adirondacks " . "Treating Wood Right" was the topic of Mr . Otto Baltuth, district engineer for t he Wood Preservers Institute , at the February 4th meeting. Mr. L. E. Sawyer, consultant a nd fores ter for the Indiana Coa l Producers Association, and Paul Criss , one -time world champion axeman, were a l so guests t his s pring. The annual Cctmpfire , held a t Cunningha m Farm , opened the year 's social activities, Charlie Miller, our club advisor, gave a t a l k on experienc es and rememberance s of Henry­ ville , our old summer camp . More t han 5000 students , teacher s , a nd guests visited the Forestry Club's display a t the annual a ll-student Horticultural Show held during Homecoming week end . Congratula tions to senior s Chuck Tryon a nd Todd Ma ddock for a job well done! "Bi rdylegs", our entry in t he Turtle Derby , did not win t he first place trophy, but the club' s contribution to Campus Chest was c ertainly wort~-wh il e. In December the neophytes of the woods donne d their "corks" and flannel shirts a nd hea ded t o Cary Camp where the annual Foresters Bct ll was held under the capable cha irmanship of Natha n Fouch. Professor Michaud and Mike Pa tterson did a fine job calling the dance!

At the beginning of t he second s emester, the seniors walked off with the Forestry Club basketball tournament by beating t he s ophomore s 46- 42 and edging pas t t he juniors 46-41. Other scores we re juniors 47 and freshmen 21; sophomores 33 and freshme n 21. During the senior- sophomore g ame , it became a little rough particularly under the backboards. As a consequence, Larry Zernach, the editor of our noble publication, fractured his left arm! Re­ ferees Dr. Eric Stark and Prof. Charlie Mille r missed the call! On Ma rch 13, 1959, Dr. William C. Bramble was the main speaker at the Forestry Banquet held in conjunction wit h the foresters of the India na sub-section at the Purdue Memorial Union Building . At the date of printing, o nly t he dat es of Field Day a nd Conclave are tentative. Field Day will be held at Cunningham forestry farm on e ither April llth or 18th. University of Minnesota will be the host school on M ay lst, 2nd, and 3rd , for the s ixth annual Mid..:. w est ern Foresters Conclave. Also scheduled for the club' s last regula r meeting of the sem­ ester will be the water- polo game between t he freshman-sophomore and junior- senior t eams. The only remaining activity of t he Purdue Forestry Club is that of distributing The Purdue Log. With another year of education chalked up to his tory, the club owes a great deal to t he ~ faculty, and e specially t o our advisor, Charlie Miller, for all the support and backing of many club projects and functions .

39 Field Day and Conclave Purdue's field day was held at Cunningham Farm on April 12th. We had a very g ood t urn out; i n fact, it coul d easily have been the largest for quite some time . Everyone was out to win a 1st , 2nd, or 3rd place in the event of their choice. This would merit them a place with t he group that would eventually compete with the groups from Iowa State , Michigan, Michigan St a t e , and Minnesota at t he annual Mi dwestern Forester's Conclave. Most of all, w e were out t o have a good time and meet the rest of our classmates. We had contests i n buck i ng , chopping, rail splittipg , match splitting, tobacco spitti ng, log rolling, chain and log throwing, dendrology, compass traversing, and a special event of archery. Everyone was ready to go to Michi gan and come home without 4th straight v i ct ory. A rumor was goi ng around the di fferent schools that everyone especially Michigan State and Michigan, were out for a win, come what may. The Fifth Midwestern Forester's Conclave was held at Proud Lake Recreational Area , Milford, Michi gan, which i s 30 miles northwest of Detroit, The host for t he conclave was Michigan Stat e University. The contests started at nine o'clock with such events as archery, d endrology, and compass traversing. All t hrough the morni ng Purdue was the underdog . When l unch ti me rolled a round, Purdue was still on the bottom . The situation looked bad. It more or le ss remained that way u ntil late afternoon when Bob Schultz and Chuck Tryon took lst and 2nd, respectivel y, in chain t hrow­ i ng . Then Dave Herbst came t hrough with a 2nd i n log throwing. Finally, to cinch the win, Dick Bastin and Al Sutto teamed up to take a 1st in log rolling. This gave Purdue the w i nning score which netted the Purdue Forest ry Club t he trophy and a 5 - horsepower Pioneer C hain saw . An added event of a liars contest provided some of the afternoon entertainment. Purdue , of course the best, won with a Paul Bunyan t ale relat ed by Jim Whi ttaker. Later that eveni ng, Mi chigan State provided a " birdwat cher's social hour" whi ch was e njoyed by all who partici pated ,

For many years t he Purdue Forestry seniors have participated wholeheartedly in the trad­ itional float contest and cord parade preceeding the first home football game of the season.

This year 1 in a drizzling rain the evening before the Purdue- Nebraska game 1 t he seniors march­ ed to victory as they have in many years past. Hard work 1 considerable ingenuity 1 and a lot of support brought us both the Gold Derby Award 1 for having the best float 1 a nd the school par­ ticipation award. The 100 percent turnout of our class in the parade was another demonst ration of the good spirit and enthusiasm a lways exhibit ed by Purdue men enrolled in Forestry. Xi Sigma Pi

Kappa Chapter of Xi Sigma Pi, national Forestry honorary fraternity 1 was organized on the Purdue campus in 1934. Men of high scholastic standing with a vigorous , enthu sia stic a ttitude toward J Forestry and willing to help maintain and raise the standards of t he profession and thos·e of Purdue University are honored as members of the fraternity. The stated aim of t he fraternity is to stimulate and stand for clean scholarship to forestry and its members, i ndividually and collectively, s t rive to encourage forestry activities at the institution they represent , encourag e active participation in their respective forestry clubs and develop leadership in sch ool activities.

Kappa Chapter, over the years 1 has helped establish several activities , which have be c ome tradition with the Forestry Department. Among these are t he " Forester's Ball", Fall Campfire meet­ ing , annual Forestry Banquet where the outst anding freshma n of hi s c l a ss is honored , a nd many

others. Among current proj-ects, t he chapter began an a lumni listing 1 mappi ng t he location of each

forestry graduate in the United States 1 publishing the Purdue h2g Mark which w as the forerunner of this annual, and-.doing TSI work on the Department's plantations in preparation for fut ure research • work. Kappa Chapter of Xi Sigma Pi is highly regarded on the Purdue campus a nd membership is the goal of most students entering forestry at Purdue. New members are c hosen i n the i r sixth seme ste r and have summer camp behind them. By the time a student has completed his fifth semester, his scholar­ ship and leadership talents have shown themselves and a wise choice can be made concerning his eligibility to be honored by the fraternity. The new member a l so has enough time ahead of him in school to be able to contribute his leadership and talents to the frat ernity for a significant time . As long as the profession of forestry is t aught, XI SIGMA PI will be t here honoring those whose scholarship and leadership will tend to make them leaders in the profession, and hel ping them foster honor and integrity, both within and without the profession.

Acknowledgments The 1959 PURDUE LOG has been an outstanding challenge to the editorial staff. It is the first student yearbook to be published by foresters of this Department. Its purposes are (l) t o bring wi der recognition to the program of t he Purdue Department of Forestry and Conservation; (2) to sti­ mulate interest in Forestry as a profession; (3) to serve and maintain contact with alumni; and (4) to promote fellowship and preserve a record of our activities both before and after graduation . In planning and compiling this book , the staff received many helpful favors which made the job possible . Dr. W . C. Bramble spearheaded the project and obtained necessary approval from t he Campus Publications Committee . Professor C . I. Miller, as faculty advisor, was our never-failing help and counselor. We wish to thank Dr. Durward Allen for taking many of the photographs of de­ partment staff and students , and helping with e diting problems. Thanks are due to Dr. 0 . F. Hall and Dr . E. W . Stark for writing feature a rticles. A special word of credit is due President Jan Henley, of the Forest ry Club, for stimulating interest in the publication of a yearbook . For serving as section editors or contributing various portions of the book on assignment , we wish to thank the following Purdue Forest ers: Dave Born, Tom Dearth , Gene Leeds, Ron McNew , Chuck Miller , Bob Naumann , Larry Phillips, Jim Ray, Dick Re id, Phil Reid, Don Showalter, Al Sutto, Steve Swartz, Jim Whittaker, and all others who have made the public­ ation a success. We have cut the first tree, and our PURDUE LOG is afloat on the river . We leave further cuttings to classes of t he future- - - and wish them well.
