Moore Barrington 1883-1966 Barrington Moore Sr. - Wikipedia Page 1 of 2 WIKIPEDIA Barrington Moore Sr. Barrington Moore (1883-1966) was a forester and forestry researcher. IN He served as the fourth president of the Ecological Society of America and as the first editor-in-chief of its journal, Ecology. Moore chaired the Society of American Foresters' (SAF) Committee on Forest Policy, served as editor-in- chief of its Journal of Forestry, and represented the society on the National Research Council's biology division. Moore also served as secretary of the Council on National Parks, Forests, and Wildlife [2] and as associate curator of woods and forestry at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Contents Early life and education Service during World War I Honors and legacy Family References Early life and education Moore was born on September 25, 1883, the son of Clement Clarke Moore. He attended Craigie's School and Morristown School (now Morristown-Beard Moore during World War School) in Morristown, New Jersey before graduating from St. Mark's School in Southboro, Massachusetts in 1902. [3] Moore then completed his bachelor's degree at Yale University in 1906 and his master's of forestry degree at Yale's School of Forestry in 1908. While studying at Yale, Moore played on the football and track and field teams, and he joined, Alpha Delta Phi, a fraternity. During the summer following his junior year at Yale, Moore worked as a student assistant for the U.S. Forest Service in North Carolina. [4] He later served on the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association of Yale's School of Forestry. [5] Service during World War I In 1919, the French government awarded Moore the Cross of the National Order of the Legion of Honour for his military service during World War I. He acquired lumber and other materials from France and several other countries to supply Allied Forces. Serving as captain of engineers, Moore helped organize a force of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrington_Moore_Sr. 7/4/2019 Barrington Moore Sr. - Wikipedia Page 2 of 2 18,000 troops to supply materials in advance of the arrival of Allied forces. Supplementing lumber and other wooden materials from France, he made acquisitions from Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian nations. [6] Honors and legacy Moore was a fellow of the New York Academy of Sciences. [6] Since 1955, the Society of American Foresters has awarded the Barrington Moore Memorial Award to recognize biological researchers in the field of forestry. [7] Family Moore was a great-grandson of Clement Clarke Moore, author of the poem Twas the Night Before Christmas. [4] He married Muriel Hennen on December 20, 1910. The couple had two children: sociologist Barrington Jr. and Peter Van Cortlandt Moore. Moore and Hennen separated in 1927. References 1.

INFORMATION ON BARRINGTON MOORE: Barrington Moore was a prominent member of the first generation of American Foresters. From Yale University he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts (1906) and Master of Forestry (1908). In 1914 he published a comprehensive article on "Forestry in America as Reflected in the Proceedings of the Society of American-Foresters, in which he not only summarized the content of each article but offered incisive comments as to its strong and weak points. These comments also reflect his own growing interest in research, with particular reference to the establishment of a sound biological basis for the practice of forestry. Moore conducted his own research in forest ecology, some of the early results of which had been published in 1917 in the Journal of Forestry in articles dealing with the reproduction of red spruce, balsam fir, and white pine, and with osmotic pressure as an index of habitat. But his interests extended beyond his own profession, and in 1919 and again in 1920 he was elected president of the Ecological Society of America. His breadth of view and his recognition of the need for cooperation among ecologists led to his selection as the first editor-in chief of Ecology. He continued in this role for twelve years, during which he was a frequent contributor in the form of articles, reviews, and notes. In the Society of American Foresters, which Barrington Moore joined in 1911 and in which he served on several committees, his major contribution was as chair of the Committee on Forest Policy. This Committee was appointed in 1929 to prepare the first truly comprehensive statement of forest policy ever attempted by the Society.
