Scope and Contents

In the post-World War II years, Woodbury noted the burgeoning student population at the University of Utah. In response to post-war growth, the University reorganized the Biology Department into different areas of specialization. Woodbury was named head of the newly-created department of vertebrate zoology. Woodbury continued his cataloging of Utah birds, and prepared for the publication of some of his manuscripts on general ecology. With the war now over for several years, Woodbury recorded an increased standard of living and availability of consumer goods. He and Grace continued to be active members of the Audubon society. Woodbury wrote about the surprise election of President Truman, and growing tension between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. He commented on the hope that the United Nations might resolve international conflict.
