PERSONNEL CHANGES IN BUREAU OF EDUCATION AND 



RESEARCH 



On October 10, 1933, the resignation of Leo K. Wilson as Chief 

 of the Bureau of Education and Research became effective, to permit 

 liim to accept a partnership in the law firm of McClymonds and Wells. 

 Mr. Wilson originally came to the Division of Fish and Game on 

 December 10, 1929, as a publicity man. He was made successor to 

 Dr. Harold C. Bryant, on July 1, 1930, and continued his work as 

 editor of California Fish and Game. 



The Fish and Game Commission has chosen Dr. J. 0. Snyder to 

 succeed to the responsibilities of the Bureau of Education and Research 

 in addition to his duties as Chief of the Bureau of Fish Culture. The 

 Bureau of Education and Research will retain its identity, and will 

 continue to operate under a separate budget, under the supervision of 

 Dr. Snyder. 



Accompanying the changes just noted, James Moffitt has been 

 placed upon full time with the Bureau of Education and Research,

 of the State are assured of a continuation ef the fundamental scientific 

 and educational work which should accompany a proper conservation 

 program. — John L. Farley, Division of Fish and Game, San Francisco,
