A Force for Change
Some of them were grown men going to college on the new G.I. Bill, and some were boys -- eighteen years old, straight out of high school. There were also young women coming to campus, rich in the traditions of their mothers and grandmothers. These women didn't know it, but the seeds of the modern women's movement had been planted during the war and in their generation. There were African-Americans who came to campus and found segregation and racial stereotypes, even after some of them had fought a war for freedom. This mixture of students blended together on the college campuses of America in the late 1940s and exploded into the world in 1950. Journalist John Norberg's illuminating oral history allows members of Purdue University's Class of 1950 to tell their stories in their own words. "(This is) a narrative that will hold special interest for those with Purdue or West Lafayette ties, but its scope is broad enough to interest a wider population".
Small Private Forest Landowners in Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Describes the small forest landowner population including its distribution as to type of owner, size of holding, objectives of ownership, forestry practices, problems, and responses to existing and proposed forestry programs. The considerable proportion of absentee owners and the owners whose primary ownership objective is other than timber production suggest that for the Upper Peninsula the traditional approaches of public forestry programs may need to be revised.
Three Pine Release Experiments in Northern Minnesota
Three pine release experiments were begun in northern Minnesota in the 1930's. Two experiments compared the response of pines to full, moderate, and no release from competing hardwoods; the third compared only moderate and no release. Eighteen to twenty-five years later the pines responded most favorably on the full release treatments, intermediate on moderate release, and least favorably with no release. Financial aspects are briefly discussed and indicate that release, as done in these experiments is one of the better investments to be made in forestry.
