Featured Memory
I took a Natural History of the Vertebrates course from Professor H.H. Shoemaker over in the Vivarium. One of the requirements of the course was to stuff a bird and a mammal. One of my coursemates was lucky enough to find a pheasant that had killed itself by flying into the side of Lincoln Hall and he got to stuff it.
