"The story of forestry in Oxford begins with the Royal Indian Engineering College at Coopers Hill, Windsor, a training college for the Indian civil service, which established a school of forestry in 1871. Seeking a stronger academic basis, the school was moved to Oxford in 1905, complete with its director, Sir William Schlich, and its library" (the Forestry Institute is now part of the Department of Plant Sciences):
