DR. HENRY S. DRINKER HONORED 



r|R. HENRY S. DRINKER has been appointed a 

 *-' member of the Forest Commission of Pennsylvania, 

 succeeding the late Dr. J. T. Rothrock. Dr. Drinker who 

 was sworn in on June 26 was urged by Governor Sproul 

 to accept the appointment and did so in the same spirit of 

 helpfulness which 

 has marked his 

 many years' inter- 

 est in the cause of 

 forestry to which 

 he has given so 

 much of his time 

 and ability. 



Dr. Drinker is 

 a former presi- 

 dent and for some 

 years has been 

 a director of the 

 American Forest- 

 r y Association. 

 He is president of 

 the Pennsylvania 

 State Forestry 

 Association, and a 

 member of the 

 Forestry Commit- 

 tee of the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce 

 of the United 

 States. 



Besides filling 

 the duties of these 

 several offices Dr. 

 Drinker has been 

 a hard worker on 

 forestry commit- 

 tees, has made an 

 exhaustive study 

 of forest taxation, 

 and has been no- 

 tably active in 

 furthering forest- 

 ry in every way he 

 could. As a mem- 

 ber of the Forest 

 Commission o f 

 Pennsylvania he 

 will be adding to 

 his many duties 

 but he does so in 

 the spirit which 

 is so characteristic 

 of him, the spirit of willingness to do whatever he can to 

 secure forestry legislation, to broaden the public appre- 

 ciiiiion nf forestry needs and a knowledge of our for-

Appointed by Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania, a member of the Forest Commission 

 of that state to succeed the late Dr. J. T. Rothrock. 



estry requirements, to advance forest conservation, to 

 provide for the perpetuation of remaining forests and to 

 proinote forestry for the benefit of the people. 



In his official capacity he will be able to do much to aid 

 in carrying on the already well advanced and excellent 



l)rogram of fores- 

 try in P ennsyl- 

 vania. His approv- 

 al of appropria- 

 tions will have 

 great weight with 

 the state legislature 

 and his endorse- 

 ment of forestry 

 legislation for the 

 state will warrant 

 the support of 

 both the upper and 

 lower house. The 

 fact, too, that his 

 appointment vv a s 

 heartily approved 

 by Gifford Pinchot, 

 whom it is gener- 

 ally conceded will 

 be elected Govern- 

 or of the state this 

 fall, means that he 

 will be in a posi- 

 tion to accomplish 

 a very great deal 

 for forestry. The 

 appointment of Dr. 

 Drinker was greet- 

 ed with particular 

 commendation by 

 the newspapers of 

 the state and by 

 the friends of for- 

 estry, and it is 

 certain that he will 

 have the earnest 

 and energetic sup- 

 port of the press in 

 advancing any for- 

 estry development 

 which he believes 

 will be to the bene- 

 fit of the great 

 Commonwealth of 

 which he now is an 

 official. The mem- 

 bers of the American Forestry Association wish him 

 every success possible in this, his new undertaking for 

 forestry and for his State.
