Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 2 The first volume of the Forestry Quarterly was published under the auspices of the New York State College of Forestry by a board of managers and advisers formed of students, alumni and faculty members of that institution. With its second volume, owing to the closing of the college, the Quarterly enters upon an independent career, being published privately under the direction of a board of editors representing the profession at large and coming from the various centers of professional forestry work. This wider representation in the editorship of the Quarterly will, it is hoped, establish confidence in the authoritative and representative character of the publication, give it greater professional interest, and increase its usefulness in the direction in which the main ambition of the publishers lies, namely, to make it the organ for inter-communication on technical and professional subjects among the rising generation of foresters. With this aim foremost, the editors invite all those in the profession to contribute towards the success of this first professional journal by contributing to its pages and by adding its volumes to their libraries. Besides original articles, of which the publication of at least twelve is expected during the year, special attention will be given to reviews of foreign and home forestry literature. With regard to the foreign literature it is intended to so brief the more important papers as to make reference to the originals as much as possible unnecessary. It is expected to make the journal of interest not only to professional foresters but to all who are actively interested in the management of timber lands, especially lumbermen and those charged with the forestry interests of the various states.
