Pioneer In Skeleton Mounting Retiring
Reider Constructs Bone-o-phone
Henry Reider, a pioneer
in developing skeleton mount
ing techniques, Is retiring
as chief preparator of the
University State Museum and
staff member for 36 years.
Reider is well known
among museum professionals
and vertebrate paleontolo
gists in the United Sates for
having developed skeleton
mounting techniques that
are now followed by many
major natural science mu
seums. He first came to the
University In 1927 as a
foreman of the moving com
pany responsible for the
transfer of museum collec
tion! to Morrill Hall. Im
pressed with his care and
craftsmanship, Dr. Edwin H.
Barbour, former Museum
director, hired him as a
full-time assistant in the
spring of 1928.
Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz,
present director, called the
decision a most fortunate
one for the field of museum
technology. "Mr. Reider was
always interested in improv
ing techniques and worked
closely with scientists and
engineers. This has been an
important factor in making
the University museum's fos
sil , exhibits world famous,"
he said.
Reider developed what Is
called the concealed steel
mounting method which in
volves the use of hidden sup
ports to bear the weight of
skletons that weigh several
tons.
As chief preparator, Reid
er also has been responsi
ble for obtaining the majori
ty of animal and plant
specimens for the Museum's
Hall of Nebraska Wildlife
through the cooperation of
the Nebraska Game Com
mission. Known for his determina
tion, Reider once chased an
albino ravan, a rare crea
ture, for three miles over
open prairie but failed to
get it when the sun went
down.
Also known for his sense
of humor and awareness of
the unusual, Reider became
fascinated several years ago
with the musical tone;? some
of fossil bones made when
they struck lightly. He then
constructed a musical instru
ment, the "bone-o-p hone"
from the ribs of four-million-year-old
Pliocene rhino
ceros skeletons.

After 38 Years
Theodore T. Aakhus, a Uni

professor of engineering

neering Education (ASEE).

Aakhus ' for his greatest con
tribution, his ability to teach
and to counsel young engi
neering students. His basic

to work with students indi
vidually to draw out the best
that is in them."
He joined the University
faculty in 1926 as instructor
and has progressed through
the ranks to full professor.
He was one of the early coun
selors in the Junior Division
for the College of Engineer
ing and Architecture.
A 1926 graduate of ttoe Uni
versity of Colorado, he
earned his master of science
in electrical education at the
University of Nebraska in
1932. He has been active in
ASEE since 1933 and has
served in all of the offices of
the Engineeering Graphics
Division, including editorship
of Engineering Graphics
