Dyche Hall’s Legendary KU Natural History Chief
Lawrence Journal World recounts Kansas University’s Dyche Hall name tied to Lewis Lindsay Dyche, the museum’s first director and famed naturalist. From arctic adventures to Peary rescues, Dyche’s 4000 specimens, 27 Arctic trips, and 1900s funding helped build a premier collection, while his fame faced mixed public reaction.
