EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
"The University of Illinois was not alone in wishing to establish a cultural/historical museum at this time. Universities all over the country were doing the same...the philosophy which motivated the founding of these museums was in all cases the same—the desire to supplement the teaching of humanities by contact with the actual material evidence of culture. At present the Classical Museum and the Museum of European Culture occupy each a wing of one of the floors of Lincoln Hall....In time however the university will have a museum building. The present campus plans provide a location for one." — Neil Brooks, Director, The Museum of European Culture of the University of Illinois, 1914
