As Result of Dare.
QUARTERS ARE FILLED
Better Accomodations Need
of Department.
Tin’ Kirk Whites collection of plant
specimens, which arrived at the Univer
sity some time ago. is now being un
packed. b.v the botany department. In a
short time these specimens will be
shelved and may be examined by stu
dents. They arc largely dry land or des
ert specimens, and are duplicated so
that exchanges may be made with othei
universities and colleges.
This gift from Kirk White is the re
wilt of a sort of “dare.” He was work
ing on a mathematical problem, and an
Bounced that he would.>:ivc the collec
tion to any school or college that wouh
prove him in error. Prof. It. M. Winger
then of the Oregon mathematis depart
ment. proved the error, and won the col
lection for the University.
The botany department is much crowd
ed and in need of more spice to displa;
specimens. Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey
formerly of Cornell, who visited the Ore
gon herbarium last year, said that he
was greatly surprised that Oregon kept
her specimens in wooden cases. He said
collections of this value deserved tin
protection of steel cases. C. V. Pipoi
of the National Herbarium. Washington
I). C., also visited the herbarium recent
]y siud expressed the same surprise sit
the absence of steel cases.

is the Howell collection which is Consul
ered one of the most valuable. This con
tains four thousand specimens, two hun
dred of which are the originals. Mr
Howell was one of the earliest rollecton

Another group which is espeially wel
mounted and preserved is the Cusicl
collection, largely eastern Oregon plants
Mr. Cusick. who made the collection, i
now in the soldier's home in ltoseburg.
The collection known as the school col
lection is made up of a number of small
er doll potions, those made by Prof. A. It
Sweetser and his staff, and others pre
sented by friends of the University. U
ontains the general collection made b\
Lciburg and Henderson who were em
ployed by the U. S. government to di
Ibis sort of work in the northwest. Mrs
A. 01. Spangler, wife of the pastor o'
the Congregational church in Eugene. re
ccntly presented the University witli liei
eolleetion. largely plants from the New
England states. The school collectim
also contains the Sheldon collection o'
five thousand specimens. THis coileetioi

Specimens May Be Exchanged.
Besides these individual collections, the
herbarium contains exchanges from othei
universities, among which is the ex
change from St mford of one, thousand
specimens from the Dudley collection

six or eight hundred more specimen:
