John Fulton (Class of 1892), who taught chemistry at Oregon State for several decades, is standing, center-right, wearing a cap. F. L. Washburn taught zoology and entomology classes in the 1890s. Many of the zoological specimens in this photograph later became part of the collections of the Horner Museum.
The college museum was established in 1925 and in 1936 was renamed the Horner Museum of the Oregon Country. This image shows the museum in the basement of the college library (now Kidder Hall).
Th moose has been affectionately known as "Bruce the Moose" for many years. It is now part of the Horner Collection at the Benton County Historical Society.
