Statue of George Washington Carver by Christian Petersen, sculptor-in-residence in the late 1940's. Originally a plaster sculpture, it was given to the University and placed in Carver Hall at the dedication of the hall in 1970 by the Class of 1968. Christian Petersen came over and stood by August Bang's side. "When I look upon Carver as you have him here, " Bang said, "The words which were written at his death come to my mind - 'He wandered with God'." "That is just what I have tried to say, " answered the artist, and a beautiful smile lighted his face. In 1998, with gift funds, the statue was cast in bronze as it was originally meant to be, and installed in the courtyard between Carver and Beardshear Halls.

Hiss Halla Rhode
Miss Bessie Coon
1357 East 13th Street
Des Moines, Iowa
Dear Miss Rhode and Miss Coon:
Again I am writing you about the pictures for CHA-KI-SHI. I had
a talk with our printer yesterday and he said that the pictures
presented great difficulties, the color ones calling for absolutely
the most expensive form of reproduction. We have to make this book
to sell for a dollar or less, and as the pictures stand at present
we cannot do it.
I am going to present to you the blackest side of the picture—all
The bookmaking problems that arise with these pictures.
1) The color is so expensive that we probably can use only four
(if that many) color pictures in the book. If the artist had known
how to prepare pictures for flat color reproduction it would have
been possible to have more. If we can only use four in color, he
will need to redraw the others in black and white. For this we
could probably pay a small sum. What was your arrangement with him?
2) The pictures are not planned with any shape of book in mind--that
is, many of them would have to be set in the wrong way so children
would have to turn the book around to look at the picture—poor for
a primary book.
3) Because of the use of a soft crayon in some of the black-and-
whites, the pictures are not sharp and when reduced will be very
black and not very clear.
Please don't have him do any more drawings until we can work out some
solution of this. To be perfectly frank, I don't think the drawings
in their present condition will make a very attractive book. I want
to do everything I can to help out on this and to make it a nice-
looking book.
Will you write me about your arrangement with the artist, and what
you think might be done? I wish we could have them redrawn here, but
this of course we would not do with his work.
The text of CHA-KI-SHI is so good that I do want the pictures to be
up to the standard it sets.
Yours very sincerely
