Roosevelt Wild Life Bulletin 
Hon. Henry L. Stimson, former Secretary of War, wrote: 
" I sympathize with the purpose of making your Station a Memorial 
to Theodore Roosevelt. I know his sympathy and interest in that 
kind of work, and I feel it is just the kind of purpose in which he 
would take deep and lasting interest." 
Mr. Edmund Heller, Roosevelt's companion on his African hunt- 
ing trip, and joint author with him of Tlic Life Histories of African 
Game Animals, wrote: "The Roosevelt Wild Life Forest Experi- 
ment Station, the Memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, is just the sort 
of memorial of which he would have approved Nothing 
would have brought more joy to Roosevelt's heart than the establish- 
ment of a Wild Life Experiment Station such as you have, where 
animals can be studied free from artificial conditions It 
seems particularly fit that this institution should commemorate such 
a man as Roosevelt, whose keenest enjo\ment in life was the pur- 
suit and study of animals in their native haunts." 
Mr. Horace M. Albright, Superintendent of the Yellowstone 
National Park, writes : " I have read your bulletin on the Roose- 
velt Wild Life Forest Experiment Station and have found it most 
interesting. You have undertaken a great public work and it 
deserves the support of every section of the country, and particularly 
does it deserve the encouragement of every Government institution 
that is interested in the conservation of forest wild life ; and as 
superintendent of our greatest game-preserve, Yellowstone Park. I 
hope that you will call on me for any aid that you think I am capable 
of giving to the Experiment Station." 
Dr. William T. Hornaday, Trustee, Permanent Wild Life Pro- 
tection Fund, a life-long champion of wild life protection, writes 
as follows : " I give my most cordial indorsement to the aims and 
purposes of the Roosevelt Wild Life Station, and I regard it as 
a very necessary factor in the fight for better preservation and 
better utilization of the wild life of the State." 
The indorsement and commendation of this Memorial bring out 
clearly its appropriateness and unique character, and are an assur- 
ance by the highest authority that it stands for Roosevelt's distinc- 
tive personal interest, as well as for a large and important part of 
his conservation program, paving the way for an intelligent use of 
forests and forest wild life. Still another distinguishing and com- 
mendable feature of the Station is that it is an adaptation of plans 
for wild life research which Roosevelt himself approved, as will 
now be shown.
