H. T. MARTIN WELL KNOWN AS LEADER IN PALEONTOLOGY
Dyche Museum Made Outstanding Due to His Ability in Recognizing and Collecting Fossils
The death of Handel T. Martin, for twenty-three years assistant curator of art at the University of Pennsylvania and back to many of his friends and associates about the campus reminiscences.
Before Mr. Martin became associated with the University of Kansas he did work at museums to museums both in America and chinch. The University of Copenhagen, the British Museum of Natural History, and the National Geographic contain specimens found by him. He has done much to make famous the works of the beds of the western part of the
In 1967, Mr. Martin first became connected with the University through Dr S.W. Williston, although he had taken up the position of curator in 1894. One of Mr. Martin's noteworthy accomplishments was the finding of skeletons of the pterodactyl, or flying reptiles. Skeletons of these hisriads are found at the Dreyfus museum, but the Dreyfus museum is especially known for the possession of this type of specimen. The only examples in existence of fossil birds with such skulls in a period have come from Kansas.
Prof. Raymond Beamer of the department of entomology, who made a trip with Mr. Martin several years ago, inspected the local area for察看remarkable facility for immediately recognizing the animal to which each different fossil belonged. On the way, he would examine the county, by whom would examine the sand thrown out of the trench being dug in the fossil bed at short intervals. Every minute, an irregular fragment overlooked by th

workers in the ditch, he would exclaim, "There it is," or "By George, another piece of it," and would fit some words into his mouth. At one occasion, the under-jaw of a small wolf was found. Some time later, and some yards away, another law was passed. The judge claimed, and matched the two immediately. Even from one year to another he was able to retain in his mind the minute characteristics of different species.
On field trips, when there was work to be done, Mr. Martin was not content to tell others how to do it. He worked on the lab himself. As soon as a portion was exposed he would cover it with shell and paste it with burial until the entire fossil could be uncovered. Attention was paid to the fragile specimens are necessary to success in this work. Often Mr. Martin worked under difficult conditions, as on the Rhinoceros Hill trip, or had to be hauled 15 miles to the cave.
L. W. Coughil, assistant to C. D. Bunker in the Dycho museum of paleontology, recalls an amusing incident when he was sent a small creek southeast of Lawrence. A large slab of rock was discovered, in which were imbedded some animal tracks. Mr. Martin and his assistants removed the rocks, and finally faculty rolled it up the hill and stood it against the car. A group of Sunday school picnipers who were near by saw them and said they had been at first he was annoyed because of the spoiled specimen, but finally he said humorously, "Well, I'll fix it up so God won't know whether he did."
Mr. Martin, who at his death was one of the foremost paleontologists of humanity, was largely self-trained, not merely in geography or education. Much of his Knowledge of paleontology he gained through literate training by Prof. J. O. Carr of Yale University.
Dr. R. C. Moore, head of the department of geology, says of him, "He was a hard worker and a great versatility; the most difficult to replace. He brought to his profession the faculty of a trained mechanic and years of experience as a specialist in fossils in America."

how to avoid being SWAMPED !
Eat wrong and you're sunk. And that applies to studies as well as to swimming or water polo. Eat food that's easy to digest, yet plenty nourishing, and even the dreariest prof sounds interesting. Work is done in half the time, and you get twice the enjoyment from your leisure hours. Shredded Wheat will do it whether you eat it for breakfast, lunch or midnight supper. Easy to digest, packed with nourishment, and containing all the bran of the whole wheat, it's a natural food for college men. Two biscuits a day, in good rich milk, will do the trick nicely. Try it!
