There's a Museum Distributed
Through Willamette U's Walls
By Junes Osaes
Statesman Campus Correspondent
Many Willamette university students and visitors to the campus
have paced the halls of Eaton and Collins halls for many years obli
vious to some rare articles or the numanmes ana science, nevertne-less-
those articles have been on display in some 20 cases in the two
. buildings and to more Interested observers have been wealth of re
search and evidence.
Put on display by Physical
Science Prof Herman Clark, who
has been curator of the articles
since 1830, the articles represent
about 23 per cent of a wealth of
museum pieces which formerly
made up the Willamette museum
on the second floor of Waller halL
Began ta 1M7
The museum began as such in
1 907, when Dr. James Lisle
brought a huge assortment of ar
ticles with him from Nebraska and
cataloged them with pieces al
ready at Willamette into a mu
seum. They ranged from Oregon
pioneer relics given to the univer
sity from pioneers in the middle
ISOOs to oriental objects, many of
which were contributed by Lisle
himself. .'
The museum grew so large over
the years that in 1942 it covered
the entire second floor of Waller
i and threatened encroachment
on badly needed classroom space.
In 1943, when the navy V-12 pro-
Eam took ever, the museum had
be crammed into half its form
er space and the cost, space and
full time demand on Prof. Clark
led to its abandonment by the
trustees In 1940.
Now Clark keeps most of the
Material in storage and switches
the displays from this wealth of
material, from year to year.
. Exhibits now on display in Ea
ten hall comprise implement tools,
baskets and beadery handicraft
works by Oregon, Alaskan and
Mexican Indians.
Included In the collection is a
rare Indian princess necklace
made of frogleg bones, prune pits
rtd brass bits; a wooden canoe
with paddling Indian warriors
carved from a single piece of
wood and a black figure-ornamented
water vase molded by the
Aztecs in Mexico.
Some of several hundred In
dian baskets take up a whole case
display. Much of this collection
was given by Salem s Cross fami
ly five years ago and M. . Pal
leske, now cf Eugene, donated
many of the valuable baskets sev
en years ago.
Famed Collection Bought
In 1938 Oregon Indian Arti
facts, considered one of the rarest
collections of Indian articles and
wete, featured in the London Il
lustrated News, were purchased by
the university. Some of (hose ar
ticles on display now include
carved images of animals, fish and
other mammal life in stone.
Also in the Eaton collection js
an India collection of stationery,
surgical equipment and a two-foot-long
opium pipe from Lisle's
Oriental collection.
Over in Collins hall the exhibits
re of a scientific nature with
geological works on the first floor
nn biological on the second.
Clark himself did a great deal
of work on the geological collec
tion, which is in his fields of in-
Jtruction at Willamette, and Dr.
for ton E. Peck contributed heavi
ly in the biology display. Included
In Peck's exhibit is a British Hon
duras 32-bird collection with birds
that range in fize from a small
turkey to sparrows. He also has
a case devoted to mammal study,
which includes wild boars and
smaller Jungle members of the
eat family.
According to Clark, the entire
museum collection was greatly
aided In the last century with
largo collection from Wilbur aoa
demy in Wilbur, Ore, contributed
by early pioneers when Tether"
Jtoyall presided over that Metho
dist Institution. Many pieces have

THE GIFT BOX
I've been trying for weeks to
teep my wife off our third floor,
(he always was a . sucker for
iristmas and I knew if she saw
array of gifts that Helen Becke
nd Zoe Mais on have on display
that I'd be a "gone, gosling" and
wouldn't have enough money left
to pay the last salary amputation
on my Income tax.
I'd always been Intrigued by
that particular section of the store
myself but never did know just
what the story was behind any of
the treasure.
m The other day I stopped by and
talked to Helen and Zoe and they
kinda showed me around their de-
Eartment Now I know I have to
aep my wife home.
There were figurines from Italy,
lamps and brass from China, xmi
six boxes from Switzerland, Quim
per china from France, ten pat
terns of glass stem ware, old
clocks, commodes, and chests from
pioneer homes, gay bits of this
and that, hand painted in the pea
sant manner of Lith Kaye, and
other curios from all over the
.World.
Have you ever heard of Royal
Eopenhagen Christmas plates?
ach year in Denmark an out
standing artist is chosen to design
the plate of the year. Immediate
ly after that year the moulds are
destroyed and the number made
restricted. The first plates were
made in 1895 and hav rinn h
come collector's items sought by
the discriminating all oyer the
World. Each plate is dated and the
paintings, depicting historical
landmarks' and fairy tale scenes,
are out of this World.
Now this, I thought, would be
e ideal Christmas present so I'
ked Zoe the price of the plates.
"They're ten. dollars," she told
ne.
Well, that's not so bad, I thought
"How many art In the set, X ask
ed. "Oh, they're? ten dollars each.
They're really ? collector's items,"
Zoe replied just as easy.
I didn't answer at once because
it's difficult td talk when you've
just swallowed your tongue.
They're really worth it but I'm
going to have to stick to collecting
ma ten book covers awhile longer.
That Quimper china is beauti
ful too. Henriot Quimper lives in
a small village in France and has
made the section famous for the
quaint provincial characters he
paints on his china.
Of particular interest at this
time is the collection of distinct
ive Christmas cards. Unique Peter
Hunt designs, hand blocked prints
by Les Cigales Studio in San
Francisco, and the exclusive per
sonalized creations from Alice Da
ly's California Studios. The Daly
Cards are created by the use of
three - dimensional, life - like lit
tie dolls and are the type of cards
receivers remember above all oth
ers. The story of Helen Becke and
Zoe Maison is interesting, too.
They started a little antique shop
on Winter street some years ago
and, like the beanstalk, they grew
and grew and ; grew They soon
outgrew their small quarters on
Winter street and expanded to en
larged space on Elfstrom's third
floor. Their success can be attri
buted to exquisite taste and their
knowledge of what type of art ob
jects the discriminating women
want for their home.;
But don't tell my wife about
the "Gift Box." She has too many
relatives and friends and, as I said
before, she always was a "sucker
for Christmas. See you next week.

Beautiful Bui' Dumb ' 1
-
Nitwit Routine Gut; Brains and
Balance Credo for Womanhood
By Adelaide Kerr
. AP Nowsfoataroa Writer
NEW YORK, Nov. 2MP-You are away behind the times If you
think men want wives who are beautiful but dumb, says Dr. Frances
scoti.
Dr. Scott is president of the National Federation of Business and
Professional Womn (140,000
members). She is also associate
professor of hygiene at Smith col
lege. In both jobs she meets lots
of girls and men.
"I see silly girls who still think
they have to do the 'Oh you great
big strong man! act," she says.
They don't get second dates.
"College surveys show a man
doesn't want a beautiful but dumb
wife. He may like such compan
ionship for an evening. But he
wants a life partner with a few
brains and ability td' use them.
Times have changed. Partner and
partnership are words frequent
ly used by both men and women
to express what they want in mar
riage today."
Dr. Scott - - a physician of 30
years standing --sees that change
as typical of times in which the
world is juggling more problems
than ever before and women have
extended their rights and activ
ities to outstrip by far what they
did in the past.
"Another thing to consider is
the greatly improved health of
women," she says.
"In 1800 we had such a fixed
Idea that women couldn't do phy
sical activity that mothers didn't
even want their daughters to take
gym. Now women in industries
and nurses and WACS who work
ed at the front have shown us
that, given good health, today's
woman can stand as much physi
cal strain as men of comparable
strength."
Dr. Scott is a smartly coiffed,
softly tailored woman with in
telligent eyes and a friendly grin.
Her creed is balance. She helps
keep it in her life by frequent ses
sions with her carpentry kit. Her
father gave her one when she was
five. In her Northampton, Mass.
house she refinished floors, reset
doors, changed locks and sawed
and put up shelves.
Dr. Scott believes the time has
come for women to stop talking
about women s rights and work
harder on their responsibilities, to
vote, to hold office and to be at
least as interested as men in the
civic and government affairs.
"We have won most of the legal
and civic rights and now we
should get out in our communi
ties and show what we can do
with them," she says.
','In the next few years it is ex
tremely important that two things
be done. First, we must see that
more qualified women are elected
to office and appointed on boards
of policy. Second, we must quali
fy more women for those jobs. I
cannot see that our communities
are well served by government
that Is about 99 per cent men.
"Men and women look at life
differently. A man is a very im
personal sort of being in his bus
iness and community. He thinks
in terms of money and material.
Women think of the world in
terms of people - - of human re
lationships. "Take a school board. Men are
primarily concerned with the
school plant, cost, budget, salar
ies, appearances and the way the
school reflect the pride of the
community. Women look at the
teacher that is dealing with their
children, the safety of transpor
tation, the food served and soon.
If you have all of one sex on the
school board - - or any other policy-making
body --one set of
these factors will be overempha
sized at the expense of the other.
What we need Is balance created
by the thinking of both women
and men."
