Iowa College continues to be the re-
cipient of gifts as the result of the
efforts of her financial agents and
other friends. Some time ago one of
the field workers came across an I'M
usually large and fine collection of In
dian relics in the city Of Audubon,
the property of Attorney ]. A. Nash,
father Mr.. Nash readily yielded to
the suggestion that the collection would
be safer in the museum Of Iowa Col
lcge than in any private residence, and
also that his fathers name would have
a wider range of acquaintance and
honor from such public exhibition of
the collection. The college sent an ex
pert to Audubon to do the packing, and
the collection is now on it's way to this
city. The honor of the discovery and
the securing for Iowa College of this

doWment, belongs to Rev. D. P. Breed
