Oh my…this is unbelievable…I’ll sure do all I can… This is destruction of unique art…the whole package I mean…philistines in charge of treasures. They know not what they have.

The unique building designed to house the dioramas would lose its very reason for being. Please see his open letter for details.

The ecology, entomology, forestry and agricultural science departments are now all consolidated on the St. Paul campus and I'm sure the Bell is not getting as much usage from those groups of faculty and students as it used to. On the other hand, the art department is still in Minneapolis ....
