...Harvard nine gives more promise at this time than almost any other of landing at the top. Princeton appears to be good in spots and ordinary in spots; Yale has had its ups and downs, with far more downs than was the case a year ago; Brown seems to lack the polish of the past two or three seasons, while Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia are reasonably strong, but have had reverses to spoil their chances for a place at the head of the list.

The lack of efficiency and economy in the lumber industry of today is lamentably noticeable. Much timber is made into lumber at a distinct loss. The whole manufacturing and marketing end of the lumber industry is in need of just such scientific study as this new course affords...
