"With our limited space, our mus eum cannot be anything else than a repository of rubbish and a promoter of confusion," Dr. Hershman said. The museum building, when built, should provide space for the followIng departments: Geology, botany, paintings, history. It also should con-; tain at least one lecture room, Dr. Hershman -declared. A plan is outlined by Dr. Hershman ■ whereby the state, could obtain at least one curator for each division of the museum without entailing extra expenses to the state.
