| Surplus saved a historic item! |
UO surplus received a desk, and as part of their examination, turned up a note reading “This desk belonged to George Haskell Collier professor at University of Oregon in the 1800’s builder of Collier House. It is given to Collier House by his descendants” and contained a Oregon Historic Property tag. After reporting this item, they discovered it had been missing from Collier House for over 20 years! The desk has now been returned to Collier House, and the note is going to be framed with a plaque!
