Gifford Pinchot Research Paper

“Pinchot left Europe with some convictions about forestry. He had learned… that trees are a crop… Pinchot brought the gospel that forestry was the art of using a forest without destroying it… [He] preached that through the use of proper methods a forest could be both harvested and preserved.” (McGeary 23) This conviction reveals the underlying theory to all of the conservation movement, that nature should be viewed in the confines of its economic value. For example, Pinchot’s policy did not allow for the continuation of old growth forests, but demanded that they be cut down and let new trees to grow back in their place. “He clashed repeatedly during his career with conservationists who were basically devoted to preserving the trees.” (McGeary 87)

Jeff Karpell was a standout outfielder for the Fairleigh Dickinson baseball program. His freshman campaign he posted the longest hit streak by reaching base safely in seven consecutive games. Karpell also led all freshmen in hitting with a .313 batting average. Karpell really stood out as a sophomore earning All-Northeast Conference honors with a .337 average, which put him 3rd on the team and 9th in the NEC.

Christopher Matthewson also known as “Big Six”, “the Christian gentlemen”, “Matty”, and “Gentleman’s Hurler” played Major League Baseball and was a right handed pitcher and played seventeen seasons with the New York Giants. He was voted the most dominant pitcher in the history of baseball and is ranked in the top ten in many key pitching groups, including wins, shutouts, and ERA, if taking 19th century pitchers statistics into account. Otherwise Matthewson and Walter Johnson would hold the distinction of being the only two pitchers placed in the top ten in both career wins and ERA. In 1936 Christopher got called to be into the Major League Baseball Hall Of Fame, as one of its first couple players. (Wikipedia)
