Fish ~ WildJife Conference December 4-7, 1988 Columbus, Ohio 50th Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference Bibliography

This bibliography was prepared as a historical document to commemo­ rate the 50th Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference in Columbus, Ohio, December 4-7, 1988. The 50 Conference programs are listed chrono­ logically beginning with the 1st North Central States Fish and Game Conference in Urbana, Illinois on December 5-7, 1935. Except for the war years, annual Conferences have been held in central states and Canadian provinces each year. This document is historical rather than a reference source because formal transactions of the Conferences were never published. In the early years of the Conference, authors brought mimeographed copies of their papers for distribution and, on occasion, the host state or province assembled these and mailed them to the participants. The Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference has no formal organization; continuity is maintained by an informal meeting of a Time and Place Committee at each Conference. The meetings have been well attended, the papers of very high caliber, and authors have been willing to share in preliminary results that mayor may not have been published subsequently in refereed journals. The bibliography provides some insight into the growth and changes in the profession of fisheries and wildlife biology and management. Many of the earliest participants in the Midwest Conference were noted contributors to the profession. In one session of the 1st Conference Ira N. Gabrielson, Aldo Leopold, IN. Darling, and Seth Gordon participated. We dedicate the bibliography to the hundreds of biologists, managers, and administrators who have participated in making the Midwest one of the foremost technical fish and wildlife conferences in North America. We hope the spontaneity and enthusiasm of the organizers and participants will continue and that a bibliography of the lOath Centennial Conference will show continued growth and acceptance of our profession dedicated to the maintenance of the fish and wildlife resources for'the people.
