BERGmnn OVER Genial Dr. Over has been Director of the Museum since 1913. For 35 years he has turned his attention to building and preserv- ing the Museum at the University. The Museum was started when J. E. Todd, geologist, collected and labelled many spec- imens of natural history. Dr. Over has col- lected specimens of all birds, mammals, rep- tiles, fishes, and plants in this area. Dr. Over has made three trips down the Missouri River where he mapped all Indian villages along the river and collected Indian relics. The Museum has one of the most complete collections of Indian relics in the United States. Entering the door of the Carnegie- donated library, one encounters the charm- ing, obliging smile of Ruth Bergman. Miss Bergman, whose title has been changed this year from Acting Librarian to Librarian, received her A.B. at the University and gained her Master ' s degree in Library Science at the University of Illinois. Through her counseling and directing, the library meets fully the needs of each and every student on the campus.
