Scope and Contents

While administering the research program at Dugway, Woodbury finished his textbook on general ecology. He also pursued other research, but is primarily concerned with the Dugway program. The governor of Utah, J. Bracken Lee, cut the state budget for higher education. This forced the closure of Carbon College, and the transfer of Dixie, Snow, and Weber Colleges to the administration of the L.D.S. Church. Woodbury expressed his concern with such a development. He wrote that such a neglect of education jeopardized the future welfare of the U.S. Woodbury comments upon the growing superpower tension in Indochina.
