Centennial Attracts Many to FHS Museum Fascinating exhibits In three museum areas of history, natural history and geology are lo- cated in the Fort Hays State Museum, housed In the Forsyth Library. The first major accession to the museum was a collection of mounted birds and animals presented 35 years ago by a local enthusiastic amateur taxidermist. Since then, several fac- ulty members made sizable contributions and local citizens began to contribute to the grow- ing museum. George Sternberg, an independent field vertebrate paleontologist, was appointed cu- rator of the museum. He now works with M, V. Walker, professor of geology and director of museums. The museum, which is now one of the finest in the country, houses over 12,000 types of specimens. Exhibits in the local museum attract students and faculty members os well os thousands of visitors from all over the United States. One of the real pioneers of Kansas has a permanent home at Fort Hays Kansas State. This Indian originally lived in Ness County; near Pawnee Creek about 1000 or 1200 A.D. M. V, Walker examines fossil structure while discussing the importance of the museum ' s exhibit with George Sternberg. George Sternberg, nationally known paleontologist, prepares most of the fossils in the laboratory-workshop.
