		Phillips owned this land that was part of the Maxwell Land Grant, one of the largest tracts of land in the United States to be owned by one man. It was here that he began to build up his cattle herds.
		Waite Phillips was a very impatient man. He and his son, Chope, would build up something, like an oil company or herd, and his interests would soon change.
		Phillips gifts were, he said, "to inspire and train boys in the virtues of faith, initiative, self-reliance, resourcefulness, and courage".

	Philmont 2000
		Waite Phillips got rich in the oil business early in the last century, bought over 130,000 acres of mountain land in northern New Mexico, near the Old West town of Cimarron, and over the years donated all of his land to the boy scouts.
		The donation from Waite Phillips requires that the ranch continue in use as a cattle and buffalo ranch or the land reverts to the company founded by his two brothers, the giant oil company Phillips 66.
		Phillips 66 pays more than passing attention to the affairs of Philmont scout (and cattle) ranch and I was told that Philmont keeps very detailed records of the ranching operation in case the Phillips auditors come snooping around.

		She too finds Waite Phillips Hall to be the quietest lab and the most conducive to studying and concentrating.
