only viewed the famous dioramas along with horse, Comanche.\u00a0 Like many during those times I was uncertain about what I wanted to study.\u00a0 I tried out a number of possible fields like engineering and physical anthropology but I finally found my true calling late in my sophomore year when I started realize that KU was a great place for biology and field biology in particular.\u00a0 I discovered the Miscellaneous Publications from the museum.\u00a0 Mammals of KS, Fishes of Kansas, Unioid Mussels of Ks, Gastropods of Ks, Spiders of the Natural History Reservation, and so on. \u00a0 For a small town Kansas kid these books and pamphlets were inspiring and motivating.\u00a0 I decided then and there to work at becoming a field biologist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

thinking about scanning my collection of these publications (all pre-1975) in order to share.\u00a0 This fall I asked around to see if I could get permission to do so.\u00a0 Low and behold, I found that I didn&#8217;t need to&#8212;it was already done!\u00a0 Woo Hoo.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure how you may or may not want to use these resources but you can find them at the <strong>Biodiversity
