The F.B. and Rena G. Ross Natural History Reservation
by John Breukelman, Thomas A. Eddy and Emily L. Hartman

Cover picture

The cover picture, showing Mr. Ross with members of the Department of Biology at the main entrance to the Reservation, was taken by David Stormont, student in the Department of Art. Most of the other photographs were taken by various students and faculty members, mostly incidental to field trips. Figures 2 and 11 were reprinted from Hartman (1960). The aerial photograph, pages 8 and 9, was obtained through the help of the local Soil Conservation Service. The grid selection lines and other symbols were drawn on this map by Robert F. Clarke and Robert J. Boles of the faculty of the Department of Biology.

The 1961 workshop in conservation will be conducted in two sections, form June 5 to June 23, and from June 26 to July 14, inclusive. As in the past several years, the Workshop will cover water, soil, grassland, wildlife conservation, and conservation teaching. The first section is open to any interested person; the second is limited to those with an established interest in conservation education and some teaching experience. For further information write the director, Thomas A. Eddy, Department of Biology, Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas.
