Accompanied by the Board of Overseers, President Conant received the keys to Shaler Hall and Fisher Museum at the official dedication exercises at Pertersham yesterday afternoon.
Gift of any anonymous donor, Shaler Hall will serve as a center of study for University students interested in forestry while Fisher Museum will exhibit the principal models, examples of forest life, and certain phases of silviculture.
These buildings have been named after Professor Richard T. Fisher '98, who established the 2500 acres of forest as an internationally known model demonstration of scientific forestry, and Professor Nathaniel Shaler '62, who originated the idea of incorporating forestry studies into the curriculum.
