Bankers, Bones
And Beetles
By Lennart Pearson
Head Librarian, Presbyterian College
The American Museum of Natural History is
one hundred years old this year, and its birthday
is not going unnoticed. Bankers, Bones and Bee
tles, Geoffrey Heilman’s anecdotal history of this
amazing institution (some of which appeared orig
inally in the New Worker) is as full of surprises as
the Museum itself. It is a breezy, entertaining ac
count of the way philanthropists, scientits, public-
spirited citizens, and taxpayers have assembled a
collection of 16,000,000 specimens which now pro
vides pleasure and enlightenment for some 3,000,-
000 visitors a year.
In 1869, the time was right for the founding
of such a museum. Post-Civil War financiers were
willing and able to compete with each other in
benefactions as well as in business. Charles Dar
win’s theory about The Origin of Species (publish
ed in 1869) had been discussed for a decade and in
terest was runinng high in rocks and fossils. And
while Harvard had the museum of Louis Agassiz,
the famous Swiss-born naturalist, and Philadelphia
could boast an Academy of Natural Sciences or
ganized in 1812, New York City had nothing at
all of public consequence along this line. So,
when a protege of Agassiz, Albert S. Bickmore,
proposed the idea of such a museum to prominent
citizens, they fairly leaped at the chance to coiv
' tribute both in cash and in kind. In fact, many of
* the Museum’s early accessions were the private
bird, bug, and beast collections of the early trus
tees.
That the AMNH has become such a renowned
educational center and agency for laboratory and
field research owes much of the stature of those
responsible for the vast body of scholarship ema
nating from Central Park West. Recall some of
the names: Henry Fairfield Osoborn, best known
(and by children, dearly loved) for the museum’s
great dinosaur collection ; Robert Peary, discover
er of the North Pole, who provided a fabulous col
lection of Arctic animals and artifacts: Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin, geologist with the Peking
Expedition of the 1920\s, now perhaps more fa
mous for his exploration of the theological dimen
sions of evolutionary theory; Margaret Mead,
whose anthropological studies in New Guinea be
gan some thirty years ago, and who still operates
out of a sixth-floor office in one of the Museum
towers. Less famous, but not less important in
their own way, is the army of taxidermists, sculp
tors, artists, and habitat designers who prepare
the exhibits for public view. Year after year,
scientific investigation and popular education are
carried on in an atmosphere relatively (and ana-
chronistically) free from things like university
politics, corporation bureaucrats, and government
annuals.
The pleasure of Bankers, Bones and Beetles,
is in the lightness of its touch. Humor abounds,
and muesum personalities—some as eccentric as
brilliant—come to life in a way that only increas
es one’s appreciation of the human element in a
museum of natural history. The book includes an
account of the Great Jewel Robbery, some items
about a charming chimpanzee named Meshie who
used to eat regularly in the staff cafeteria, and
stories of small boys begging leftover specimens
for their own “collections”.
Happy birthday, AMNH, and many more.
