THEODORE ROOSEVELT 
1858-1919 
Those aro Roosevelt's words on wild life research : " There must be ample 
research in the laboratory in order even to present those problems, not to speak 
of solving tbeni. and there can be no laboratory study without the accumulation 
(if masses of dry facts and specimens. 
" I also mean that from now on it i.s essential to recognize that the best scientific 
men must largely work in the great out-of-doors laboratory of nature. It is only 
such outdoors work which will give us the chance to interpret aright the labora- 
tory (il)scrvalioii.s."
