This collection contains materials primarily dealing with Herbert’s involvement with the advisory committee to the Conservation Commission of the State of Michigan. There are two folders of correspondence and reports documenting Herbert’s involvement with the advisory committee, plus three folders of drafts of the report submitted by the advisory committee to the commission. The collection also contains Herbert’s seventy-six page typescript, “Forestry and Conservation at Michigan State University.” In this manuscript Herbert describes the early days of the Forestry Department, but focuses mainly on his tenure as department head. There is also a photocopy of the handwritten manuscript “The Demise of the MSU Conservation Division.” “The Old Order Changeth” is a photocopy of a letter by Herbert to alumni about the breakup of the Conservation Division.
