Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Forestry
The lectures which follow were delivered during the last week of January, and were attended by the advanced students of engineering, economics and biology. They were fully reported by the leading newspapers of Canada, and forestry at once became a subject of discussion in the public press. It was everywhere recognized that the School of Mining had made an important advance in education, and that these lectures, the first course on forestry given in Canada, were to be re corded as a historical event of great significance, marking as they did the beginning of a new outlook upon one of our greatest industries.
At the close of the lectures a committee of lumbermen and other friends of the movement was formed to assist in establishing the School of Forestry. The names of the committee are given below. The local mem bers of this committee decided to print and publish the lectures, and this has now been done with the sanction of the Board of Governors.
