The Biltmore Forest School—the very first forestry school in the nation—opened its doors in 1898. Cornell University established a second school a few weeks later and Yale University, with an endowment from the family of Gifford Pinchot, opened a third school in 1900. Founded by Dr. Carl A. Schenck, the school had a profound effect on the establishment of professional forestry in the United States. Dr. Schenck operated the school through October, 1913. During its existence, he graduated approximately 365 students. When he closed the school, his graduates represented 70 percent of all foresters in America at the time. In addition to providing his students with a first-rate forestry education, his lectures included lessons in love, politics, poetry, and a myriad of other subjects. He was fond of saying, “No school is a good school which fails to prepare its graduates for all walks of life.”
