ISSUEs SAYS COOLEY: FOR MER ENGINEERING DEAN DISCUS$E ECONOMIC CONDITIONS C1NIEMNS DEFORESTATION Predicts Big Dpcrease In Food Supply Unless Nation Takes Precautionary Steps "Conservation of natural re- souxces is one of the most impor- tant of the issues facing the people of the world today," according to Mortimer E. Cooley, Dean Emeritus of the engineering school. Dean Cooley went further in saying that, if the attention of the nation were not turned to the subject, the food supply would soon become inade- quate for our increasing needs. "The faculty of the University thought it so important," Dean Cotley continued, "that, a few years ago, they added a special course to the curriculum of the engineering school to deal with the sujject. It was subsequently drop- pe, not because it was unimpor- tant, but because of lack of inter- est on the part of the student body. The true significance of the situa- ti n has been lost sight of in these recent years of prosperity, but it is of such a sort that it cannot be long ignored. "The most outstanding phase of the situation is that of the defor- estation of our country. Michigan is one of the foremost examples of this sort," Dean Cooley went on to state "because the land has been deiuded of trees, the arable soil is rapidly being washed away, and we may see the result in the great, un roductive pine-barrens of the noarths., "The vital nature of the problem is est brought out," Dean Cooley sat in closing, "by the fact that population increases by geometric ratio, while the food-supply can only increase by arithmetic ratio, while other resources are constant- ly decreasing."
