At a recent meeting of the corporation a gift of $150,000 for the establishment of a school of forestry was accepted from Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot and their sons Gifford Pinchot '89 and Amos Pinchot '97. To provide for a practical summer school the Pinchot family has given to the university the use of a large tract of forest land near Milford, Pike County, Pa., where a library will be established for the use of the school. Instruction will probably begin at Milford by August 1 and at New Haven with the opening of the academic year next fall. Henry S. Graves '92, now superintendent of working plans in the division of forestry at Washington, has been appointed professor of forestry.
