Forestry Education at the University of California: the First Fifty Years fORESTRY EDUCRTIOfl T THE UflIVERSITY Of CALIFORflffl The first fifty Years PAUL CASAMAJOR, Editor Published by the California Alumni Foresters Berkeley, California 1965 fOEUJOD T1HEhistory of an educational institution is peculiarly that of the men who made it and of the men it has helped tomake. This books tells the story of the School of Forestry at the University of California in such terms. The end of the first 50 years oi forestry education at Berkeley pro ides a unique moment to look back at what has beenachieved. A remarkable number of those who occupied key roles in establishing the forestry cur- riculum are with us today to throw the light of personal recollection and insight on these five decades. In addition, time has already given perspective to the accomplishments of many graduates. The School owes much to the California Alumni Foresters Association for their interest in seizing this opportunity. Without the initiative and sustained effort that the alunmi gave to the task, the opportunity would have been lost and the School would have been denied a valuable recapitulation of its past. Although this book is called a history, this name may be both unfair and misleading. If it were about an individual instead of an institution it might better be called a personal memoir. Those who have been most con- cerned with the task of writing it have perhaps been too close to the School to provide objective history. But if anything is lost on this score, it is more than regained by the personalized nature of the account. To the California Alumni Foresters who conceived of the project and vigorously supported it, to Paul Casamaj or who as editor-in-chief worked prodigiously to ferret out facts and to write the text; and to the large number of individual alumni who contributed time, energy and funds to support the project, the School of Forestry expresses its heartiest appreciation. HENRY J. VAUX Dean June, 1965 chDoIedgemeofs Chapter 1.Without the great effort of A. E. Wieslander, '14, in developing this chapter, this book would have been far less complete and inter- esting. At his own considerable expense, "Wies" chased leads from Berkeley to Los Angeles (University of Southern California library), to Palo Alto (the Stanford-Dudley story), to Eugene, Oregon (the Greeley Papers at the University of Oregon), to Seattle, Washington (the University of Washington Library for the only (?) complete file of the Tim berman), and to Sacramento (to the California State Library and numerous conferences with C. Ray Clar). Chapter 2.This chapter, also by Wieslander, was originally published in the 1962 issue of Timber, the Forestry Club student annual as a part of its 50th anniversary commemoration. It has been rewritten and augmented by information uncovered in the research for Chapter 1. Chapter 3.We were particularly fortunate to have two of Walter Mulford's associates write his story. Both Edward I. Kotok and Myron E. Krueger knew Mulford for more than 40 years. Both knew him first as one of his studentsKotok at the University of Michigan. 1909 to 1911, and Krueger at Cornell University in 1913-14 and at Berkeley in 1915-17. Both knew him as an associateKotok as director of the California Forest and Range Experimental Station, 1926 to 1940, and Krueger as a member of Mulford's staff from 1925 on. Chapter 4.Major support in various sections of this chapter was given by: J. A. Zivnuska (Graduate Study); H. J. Vaux (Research Pro- gram); F. E. Dickinson, E. Fritz, R. A. Cockrell and, H. H. Smith of the Pacific Southwest Forest and Experimental Station (The Forest Products Laboratory); Mrs. E. Johnson and Miss M. L. Eakin (Forestry Library); and R. F. Grah (Extension Forestry). Chapter 5.Vaux wrote Dean Baker's biography and provided his great editorial strength to the entire chapter. Zivnuska assisted with Vaux's biography. Krueger helped with those men who joined the staff between 1919 (Fritz) and 1932 (Kittredge). Barr's biography was adapted from his memorial published by the University and written by Vaux, CoIwell and Zivnuska. Vaux threw out my auto- biography and rewrote it. The remainder is my effort. Chapter 6.The first happy draft of this chapter was written by F. S. Baker in his inimitable style and is largely contained in the last part oi the chapter. Bake's recollections and the camp journals served as sources for the remainder of the chapter. Editorial help was pro. vided by Gerry Larson '62. Chapter 7.It was not possible to tell the fuil story of the Forestry Club. Only some milestones and representative activities are indicated. The appendix (E) of club officers was begun by Gerry Larson '62 and finished by Al Stangenberger '65. Chapter 10. The effort of locating, researching and writing (however briefly) professional biographies of 1,607 graduates and 178 other alunmi often seemed too ambitious a proj ect. But it is believed that the most important product of a school is its graduates and that their story is the heart of the school's story Emanuel Fritz made numerous editorial improvements and added knowledgeable cor- rections. Alan Casamaj or prepared the alumni location maps and Mike McChesney '63 conducted the salary analysis. The Book: There can be no perfect accounting for all the assistance that goes into an effort like this. I am indebted to Sel J. Sharp'20 for cata- logue research on the faculty; to Bill Paul, Manager of the University's Agricultural Publications, who designed the book and gave assistance with printer liaison; to Kenton Bates, also of Agricultural Publications, who helped mightily with the graphics and page and photo layout; to Miss M. Dornin and J. R. K. Kantor, University archivists, who helped locate photographs and odd bits of information; to Norm Johnson, '65, who helped set the record straight about the Xi Sigma Pi members; to 0. E. Teeguarden, who corresponded with other forestry schools about their 50th Anniversaries and their publishing experiences; to Ruth Zapf and her girls in the officeEvelyn Lym, Sharyn Greer, Mary Todt and Joanne Herwigwho typed and retyped the manuscript, cheerfully, until it was done; to Birdie Weisbrod, who helped to chase 1,001 details about the alumni; to Mary Lida Eakin, who prepared the general index; to George Craig '38 who critically reviewed the manuscript;and to Joseph Fabry who edited the manuscript when I thought I was finished with it. I shall long remember that day in April, 1961, when Horace D. Jones '36, then president of the California Alumni Foresters, walked into my office and informed me that henceforth I was the Historical Committee of CAF, a job held for the previous ten years by Myron E. Krueger. It took over four years to find out what I had "agreed" to do. While pre- paring this book, I was often sustained by the words of Samuel T. Dana, dean emeritus of the University of Michigan's School of Natural Re- sources and editor of its history, who said to me: "You maybe certain that you will not please everyone." Finally, the book could never have been completed without the patient support of Dean Henry J. Vaux who, among many other waysof helping, made provisions that allowed me to devote a portion of my regular working hours to it. It was a wonderful experience. Fortunately, it occurs only once every 50 years. PAUL CASAMAJOR Berkeley, California June, 1965 DEDICATIOfl To WALTER MULFORD for demonstrating that culturedmen, too, practice forestry; To BARR for making us thinkand like it; To FRITZ for explaining that our families also need bread andmeat; To SAMMY for showing us that forestersare dedicated; To KRUEG for helping ussee that teaching can also be done outside of classrooms and books; To KITFBEDGE for proving that from little raindrops hugeseas are made; To WOODY for illustrating how to teach and sing "Allouette"at the same time; And to BAKE, God bless him, for most amiably teachingus that the whole business is FUN.

EVERETT WIESLANDER THEearliest references to forestry education in California go back to the establishment of the University of California at Berkeley in 1873. During the ensuing 40 years three major universities in the state seriously considered starting a forestry school. Rivalries, natural disasters and politi- cal tides all had their impact on the timing and substance of the final decisions. Serious financial problems had to be overcome. Many able and dedicated men devoted much effort to achieving the goal. The story of these 40 years serves properly to set the stage for a history of the School of Forestry. It gives recognition to those who labored to start the School and tells how this start came about.

    TOM BATES AND THE SECRET GOVERNMENT OF BERKELEY By John Curl Copyright © 2012 by John Curl. All rights reserved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Curl is the author of For All The People: Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, with a foreword by Ishmael Reed. If you meet with mayor Tom Bates in his office at Berkeley city hall, you’ll see an old photo on the wall behind him of Emiliano Zapata, hero of the Mexican revolution, champion of the downtrodden. I have been in his office only two times in Bates’ decade in power, and on both occasions I was stopped short by the jaw-dropping contrast. What can Bates be thinking? Can he really be comparing himself with Zapata, can he really think of himself as a visionary champion of social justice? If Zapata were alive and saw this career politician using his image, I wonder what would he do. If all you knew about Mr. Bates was his official resume, you might be bewildered by my saying that. Before his decade as mayor, he was a liberal standard bearer for twenty years in the California State Assembly for his East Bay district, and during that time was considered one of the legislature's most progressive members. Yet despite being in the public eye for over forty years and currently running for yet another mayoral term, Tom Bates is a public figure hiding in plain sight, with a long shadowy history not widely known. A lot of things are said about Bates. “Tom is not a listener.” “He’s in bed with the right kinds of developers.” “Never saw a developer he didn’t like.” “Motivated by ego.” “Got an Edifice complex.” “He wants to leave a giant downtown and a West Berkeley wall as his legacy.” “The Bates machine.” “A shill for the University.” “Godfather of the Democratic Party.” “Loves to be the power broker.” “Back-room dealer.” “Dangles Democratic Party endorsements to control locally.” As Councilmember Jesse Arreguin put it, “We are being run by a political machine based on personal and political loyalty, not by certain core values.

  • The Teacher and the Forest: the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, George Perkins Marsh, and the Origins of Conservation Education
    The Teacher and The ForesT: The Pennsylvania ForesTry associaTion, GeorGe Perkins Marsh, and The oriGins oF conservaTion educaTion Peter Linehan ennsylvania was named for its vast forests, which included well-stocked hardwood and softwood stands. This abundant Presource supported a large sawmill industry, provided hemlock bark for the tanning industry, and produced many rotations of small timber for charcoal for an extensive iron-smelting industry. By the 1880s, the condition of Pennsylvania’s forests was indeed grim. In the 1895 report of the legislatively cre- ated Forestry Commission, Dr. Joseph T. Rothrock described a multicounty area in northeast Pennsylvania where 970 square miles had become “waste areas” or “stripped lands.” Rothrock reported furthermore that similar conditions prevailed further west in north-central Pennsylvania.1 In a subsequent report for the newly created Division of Forestry, Rothrock reported that by 1896 nearly 180,000 acres of forest had been destroyed by fire for an estimated loss of $557,000, an immense sum in those days.2 Deforestation was also blamed for contributing to the pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 79, no. 4, 2012.

Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.
