Today's Frontier 
The conservation of man’s total environ 
is coming into its own as a public issue. 
For more than a half century, the Forest Se 
of the Department of Agriculture has been 
on the ramparts of this frontier. The first 
advocates were President Theodore Roose 
and the first Chief of the Forest Service, 
Gifford Pinchot, who pioneered the concept. 
and laid the foundations of present- aay 
conservation. 
With a gratifying public awakening tothe — 
problems of pollution, conservation’s horize 
has been widened to include not only 
natural resources but man’s total environm 
In this drive today, full development of fore 
resources can make a better environment ° 
all Americans. : 
Out on the ramparts of this new frontier, — 
the young engineer can find a challenging 
profession and a rewarding personal life.
