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

Our dream visualizing the introduction of the principles of the great out-of-doors laboratory into the education of the Kansas teachers has become a reality by the establishment of the Natural History Reservation. The Reservation, being under the jurisdiction of the Kansas State Board of Regents, is an extension of the campus of the Kansas State Teachers College. We are happy for the opportunity of entrusting it to the use of the faculty and students of the Department of Biology, confident that the challenge of unlocking the vast storehouse of Nature's riches will command their best efforts and that in the development of the teaching and research programs of the Reservation it may increasingly serve future generations of inquiring minds.

It is our hope that you who are teacher in the schools of Kansas will find it possible and profitable to use the facilities of the Reservation in your teaching programs.
