Forest Academy Students on horses in 1904

All first-year students of the Pennsylvania State Forest Academy, now Penn State Mont Alto, were required to bring a horse with them to the Academy until the late 1920s. The horses were used to fight forest fires in the Michaux State Forest. Here are Forest Academy students on their horses in front of Wiestling Hall during the autumn of 1904.
