Apart from his medical work, he is a naturalist of repute. A favorite apothegm: "I love to study nature because I find on all her open pages the signature of the Creator, my Father." An Episcopalian, he last year accepted a trusteeship in William Jennings Bryan University at Dayton, Tenn., because like the Great Commoner he is "a thoroughgoing believer in the special creation of Man." He also advocates Prohibition. He once took a five-foot grey & yellow king snake before a Congressional Committee to startle them into approving the creation of Everglades National Park at the southwest tip of Florida. The king snake was his library pet. His current aversion is Birth Control, his pet foe Mrs. Margaret Sanger.
