not exclusively. He's studied the history of reli
gion and is currently auditing a class on the
poetry ofW.B. Yeats andT.S. Eliot. He hopes to
study music theory and then ...
"Asian history. I’ve had some, a little Chi
nese history, and then classic literature. I have
some Shakespeare and a few Russian novels,
but classical literature, I guess."
These classes push back the frontiers of his
own knowledge.
“Taking classes is, in a way, like traveling in
that it opens up new vistas and forces you to
think differently than you did before.
“It’s another form of traveling, you see?
Stimulating, like travel is"
Age and the weight of vast experience have
not dimmed his sense of the present, or his hopes
for the future, of history unfolding. He says each
generation must continue the work of previous
generations, while exploring its own truths.
“Keep up the good work," he advises those
younger than he. When asked, “What good
work?" he shrugs and smiles.
“Whatever."

specialized in grass research. That expertise,
Grew said, will tie in with the university’s com
mitment to Great Plains research.
“He is well known in the national museum
community and will strengthen our ability to
compete for federal funds,” Grew said in a
statement.
Estes, who also is the curator of the Robert
Bebb Herbarium (a dried plant collection) at
Oklahoma, said he would bring the state mu
seum into the computer age.
“Because of its exceptional scientific hold
ings and its highly professional staff. UNL is
in the position to assume national leadership
in computerization of museum collections.”
In August 1994, the museum was granted
a 10-year accreditation from the American
Association of Museums. About 740 of the
country’s 8,500 museums are awarded accredi
tation.
Estes has been on the Oklahoma faculty
since 1967. He earned his bachelor’s degree
in biology from Midwestern State University
in Wichita Falls, Texas, in 1959. He earned
his doctorate degree in botany from Oregon
State University in 1967.

Estes has been involved with the National
Science Foundation since 1990. He was the
president of the American Society of Plant
Taxonomists in 1989 and the president of the
Oklahoma Academy of Sciences in 1992-93.
“The public exhibits and educational pro
grams of the museum are treasured by the citi
zens of Nebraska, and they are heavily visited
by those same citizens,” he said. “Museums
are the centerpieces of this movement, but the
form of exhibits is changing. Consequently,
the public programs of the museum need to
keep pace, and the public elements need to
continue to evolve and grow.”
