Find yourself a place to stay

Dr. Schenck told new arrivals to the forestry school "find yourself a place to stay." Many did so in the cabins left by settlers after Vanderbilt purchased their land. Students gave their cabins playful names such as "Gnat Hollow" and "Rest for the Wicked" or "Hell Hole" as this cabin was known.

(sidebar)
Dr. Schenk's students could often be heard singing on their way to and from classes. Words to a favorite song were adapted to their mustached German schoolmaster.

"Who is the man on a horse named Punch/ Riding along at the head of the bunch/ Giving no time to eat our lunch? 'Tis the man who looks like the Kaiser."
