Acknowledgments 
In this first number of the ofificial serial pubHcations of the Roose- 
velt Wild Life Forest Experiment Station, opportunity is afiforded 
to thank those who have been friendly to the cause for v^^hich the 
Station stands and who have, in various ways, aided in advancing 
a movement for wild life research which was first championed hy 
Theodore Roosevelt himself. Friends of Roosevelt and friends of 
the College have generously coml^ined in supporting these plans. 
The Roosevelt family, the Trustees of the College of Forestry, our 
friends in the Legislature, the former Dean, Dr. Hugh P. Baker, 
the present Dean, Franklin F. Moon, and our Honorary Advisory 
Council, have all responded generously. Gratitude and acknowledg-

tributed articles or have given permission to publish their papers ; 
including Dr. George Bird Grinnell, Sir Harry H. Johnston, Dr. 
Giflford Pinchot, Mr. Edmund Heller, Mrs. George W. Perkins (for 
permission to publish the paper by her husband). Dr. T. G. Ahrens. 
and finally, to Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton for contributing the 
excellent and appropriate cover design for the Bulletin. 
The College and the Roosevelt Station were greatly honored on

Colonel Roosevelt's sister. Her enthusiastic approval of the pur- 
poses of this Memorial and her recognition of its appropriateness 
was very gratifying indeed. Her interest was further shown by her 
accepting membership on the Honorary Advisory Council, and by a 
contribution to our fund for big game research in the Yellowstone.

was that as a mature man he should comprehend the full meaning 
of conservation and be able to do so much for forestry and wild life.
