Dear Bob:
Our graduate school is just getting started this year
giving Masters' degrees in uildlife Biology. This brings up
the question of my completing a doctorate as I will head up
the school.
I would like to set forth for you my qualifications and
ask for a frank appraisal of them with this in view. It seems
most unlikely that I will be able to spend much time on the
campus as I have a living to earn, so a mature piece of research
supported by my bibliography, and the caliber of the men I have
guided into the wildlife field in Canada are all I have to offer.
The men who started under me and are now employed in the
resource management field in this country are:-
D. H. Pimlott, Ph.D., uisconsin. Associate Professor,
Denartment of Zoology, University of Toronto.
Alan Stiven, Ph.D., Cornell. 1962. Teaching. 6/1/iValdf4 Cai/.e-q,
Brian Carter, M.Sc., Maine. Senior Biologist, Fish and
Vildlife Branch, Department of Lands and Mines,
Fredericton, N.B.
Charles Bartlett, M.Sc., isconsin. Canadian .ildlife
Service, Sackville, N.B.
Denis Benson, M.Sc., Maine. Canadian W-ildlife Service,
Ottawa, Ontario.
Alex Rteeve, incomplete M.Sc., -isconsin. Assistant Chief,
National Parks Branch, Ottawa, Ont.
Graduate students now enrolled for a Master's degree are:-
Harold H. Prince, Iowa State University, C.I.L.
Jildlife Management Fellow, 1963.
Timothy Jilworth, Ohio State University.
The piece of research that I believe might be suitable for
a doctorate thesis is a five-year study of a woodcock population
beset at both ends of its migratory cycle by pesticide poisons
