Dyche Museum Packed For Preview
1500 Persons Visit Dyche In Two Days
Nearly 1500 students have visited Dyche Museum since its "student" opening Monday morning. After a comparatively slow first day in which 500 viewed the exhibits, yesterday saw approximately 1000 visitors exploring the building.
The constant stream of both students and non-students continued today, showing the great interest taken by the students in the museum.
The first floor panorama of mounted North American animals and the dioramas on the ground floor are about even in the race for popularity, students expressing amazement at the beauty and interest of both. Leo Doobin, pharmacy freshman, expressed the popular attitude toward the panorama with "Boy, isn't that a slick deal!" Campus Replica Attractive
A case on the ground floor that contains a replica of the campus and surrounding territory is also proving popular. All the buildings in the case were built to scale by the Geology department. Many students living near the campus spend a great deal of time searching this case, trying to find their own living quarters.
The painted backgrounds in many of the cases add much to the students' interest in the exhibit. These backgrounds, which show the animals in their natural surroundings, were painted by Walter Yost, graduate student.
Outsiders Get Sneak Preview
A group of 15 students from Park College, Parkville, Mo., made a special trip to Lawrence in order to visit the museum, and the senior class of Anthony high school also viewed the exhibits yesterday afternoon.
The museum will remain open to students until Friday evening, when it will again be closed until its official opening June 6, in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration.
Haskell Graduates Hear Indian Agent For Commencement
Commencement exercises for the graduating class of Haskell Institute were held Monday night, with H. E. Bruce, superintendent of the Potawatami Indian agency of Horton, as the principal speaker.
In his speech, Mr. Bruce made known the results of a survey of the value of education to Indians. The survey, taken of Haskell and Chilocco graduates by the Potawatami agency, showed practically all employed.
The diplomas were presented by Solon G. Ayers, principal of the school, in the absence of Supt. G. Warren Spaulding, who is doing field work for the United States Indian service. A telegram of congratulations from Spaulding was read during the exercises.
One of the dioramas in the basement of Dyche Museum, designed by Bernard "Peco" Frazier, instructor in architecture and design. The lizard perched on top of the rock is a dimetrodon, and the one in the foreground is a edaphosaurus. Both are about one-half actual size. These creatures lived during the Permian period, about 30 million years ago.
Set Up
75-Year
Drug Store
The exhibit room is on the second floor of the Bailey Chemical laboratories, and is being turned into a replica of a drug store 75 years ago.
Walnut fixtures from the old Woodward drug store in Lawrence were brought up to the campus yesterday and are being set up in the School of Pharmacy's Seventy-Fifth Anniversary exhibit, Dean J. Allen Reese reported today.
The Woodward store is now the Round Corner drug store in Lawrence.
