2 Mounties Guard
Forestry Building
Standing impassively, in per
manently-posed positions as stuff
ed animals are wont to do, are
two huge bears on guard in the
Forestry building.
They were shot by Newton E.
Hess, a State College big game
hunter, and were originally mus
eum specimens of his own. How
ever, after his death, the bears
were presented to the College by
- his sons, John and Samuel.
These fugitives from a, taxi
dermist are Kodiaks, named for
their habitat—Kodiak Island, Al 7
aska. The largest bears in ex
istence, they subsist on a daily
diet of fish.
The two Kodiaks on display in
the Forestry building, though
stuffed and immobile, evoke
squeals of terror from visiting
moppets of the College nursery.
And, co-eds, too.
