Sam Dellinger: Raiders of the Lost Arkansas

Old State House Museum

Dellinger on the Role of the Museum
Dellinger pursued an aggressive collection policy for the U. of A. Museum and was responsible for obtaining a large portion of the museum’s extraordinary archeological and natural history collections. Dellinger commented:
To a state, a museum is not merely a place for study. Here in the University we have specialists who can make a study of the natural history specimens of the state and at the same time instill in our own boys and girls not only a love for their state and its worth, but also give them some idea of her wonderful possibilities.
