Peters, Linstrom, Tantillo, Holy Earth

At the turn of the last century, when farming first began to face the most rapid series of changes that industrialization would bring, Liberty Hyde Bailey, a public intellectual known as the “Father of Modern Horticulture,” offered one of the most compelling voices representing the agrarian tradition. Botanist, farmer, naturalist, philosopher, university professor and Dean of the College of Agriculture at Cornell University from 1903 to 1913, he was moved by an enthusiasm and love for everything to do with life in the countryside, including gardening, forestry, and the economy, politics and culture of rural communities. In 1915, Bailey’s environmental manifesto, “The Holy Earth,” addressed the industrialization of society with a message of responsible land stewardship which has never been as timely as it is now. Bailey called for “a new hold” that society must take to develop a “morals of land management.” In a panel discussion held at Mann Library in April 2016, speakers Scott Peters (Dept. of Development Sociology); Jim Tantillo (Dept. of Natural Resources) and John Linstrom (Dept. of Engish, New York University and the former curator and director of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum in South Haven, Michigan), share their own distinct view points on Bailey’s life, work, and philosophy of environmental stewardship. Held during Earth Day week in 2016, the presentation also celebrated the release of the 100th anniversary edition of Liberty Hyde Bailey’s classic work, published in May 2015 with a new introduction by Wendell Berry.
