>>Reason for museum =============================================================================
At this time and earlier, the school officers recognized the importance of Natural Science in the education curriculum of the day. The great progress in science during the past century was recognized and was felt to demand a corresponding amount of attention in the Bethany school system. However, by mere book study only, they felt that the development of the facilities of observation and judgement could be lost. This view resulted in a sizeable collection of natural history material consisting of mammals, birds, reptiles, plants and fossils. These became a part of the Museum which was already well established by the fifth year of the school's existence. This work was supported by members of the Linnean Association, an organization which had for its objective the promotion of interest in scientific knowledge among its members. One of the important goals was the collecting of specimens for the Museum at the Bethany Academy. The officers of the organization during its fourth academic year were [Bethany College President] E. Nelander, president; [first Bethany professor] John Udden, corresponding secretary, and J. E. Gustus, recording secretary. pg 12-13
