Summary:Hauer talks about the Ohio geoscience department's centennial celebration and Jim Herrmann's bronze sculpture of southwestern Ohio's Late Ordovician sea life. The idea of having some sort of physical testament to the department's long tenure went from discussion to action, thanks to a generous donation to the Limper Geology Museum by alumnus Dr. Albert Dickas as well as the continued support of the James Bever family. After much deliberation, it was decided that a sculpture of Late Ordovician sea life would be most appropriate. The completed piece was installed in the main lobby of Shideler Hall across from the Limper Geology Museum and adjacent to the hallway leading to the large auditorium.
