The Oak Native American Museum

[Z.I.P.]

Read this story back in April from President Wilson's Twitter.  We are deeply fortunate to have the connection of the Oelschlager's to the U of Akron (my dad, a Firestone line-worker met the gentleman after the factory closure when he was able to bump to the HQ bldg as a janitor to get to his 45-year retirement).  However, I had to raise my eyebrows to the merging of a museum of Native American artifacts into the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology.  Psychology...Anthropology...?  Could it be that the university cannot afford to build -- or even renovate, a building dedicated to the new museum/gallery, so the psychology museum -- a university mainstay since I was a student 35 years ago must move it's displays over to make room?  Hmmmm!
