MARY WIRT FRY. Dedication

As a slight token of our appreciation of his steadfastness and singleness of purpose in his relentless defense of the truth, we are proud to dedicate this book to our first alumnus

Herman Haupt Chapman Foreword

In keeping with the rapid advances of Forestry we have deemed it ritting, in like manner, to bring the GOPHER PEA VEY up to the stride of these advances.

Th e PEA VEY has grown from a mere ideal to a merited publication which has won its place with the students, alumni, and friends of forestry.

The memories of our experiences are our most cherished possessions and if the PEA VEY succeeds in transcribing the events of the students now in school and recapitulating memories to those who were here before us, we feel that our aim has been accomplished to the fullest measure.

W e present the 1936 GOPHER PEA­ VEY » » may this be a means of coa­ lescing Minnesota fore sters and inspiring those who follow to greater achieve­ ments.

The forest itself, some 2000 acres, is a wee spot of greenery sur­ rounded by barren wastes. Legend doesn't say that Paul Bunyan drench­ ed the area with «cobacca jooce" to keep the forest fires out, but it's a mys­ tery as to how else it could have re­ mained so "forestish." It is only about 95 pe r cent aspen and jack pine, very becoming to the eye, and very easy to work in since the C. C. C.'s have brushed it out and laid sidewalks along the forry lines.

EDITOR'S NOTE An alumni section is difficult to prepare simply because it depends so much upon the individual responsibility of each alumnus to send information about himself, a difficult job for the more modest, and on those alumni with which he is associated in the field. We have tried to improve this section by appointing various alums in the different regions in the United States to write on alumni activities. Duplication of effort has appeared but in the end perhaps we have at least initiated a plan. that will in the future, give the alumni section a completeness and accuracy that will make it one of the most interesting sections in the book. Undoubtedly, too much weight has been gii1en different alumni and not enough to others. This difficulty is, of course, hard to avoid. At any rate--here's to the alums and to those who spent valuable time and effort in preparing alum­ ni information for us the staff wishes to render its sincerest appreciation · of their efforts.
