Check out the slideshow below:Įven more remarkable than the fact that the scope still works (like really, really works!), Malueg wrote that he had a suspicion that the artifact may have been one used by E. We, of course, had to take this beautiful, brass scope out for a test drive. “On the upper floor, above the boat dock, I found an old box containing a microscope that I have had in my possession all these years.” After chucking “rotten bedding and laboratory glassware,” Malueg made a discovery: Hasler asked Malueg to clean out some cabins so that a Notre Dame researcher could settle in. Environmental Protection Agency’s Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory, Malueg wrote that, long ago, as a graduate student working under Hasler, he had been instructed to head up to what was then called “Chippewa Station” and is now known as the University of Notre Dame’s Environmental Research Center. The gift was accompanied by a letter from its sender, Kenneth Malueg, a CFL alumnus who studied under Art Hasler, receiving his PhD in 1966. And, tucked in that box, was a hundred-year-old piece of limnological history. It was surprisingly heavy, weighing well over ten pounds. Inside was a small brown case about four inches high and the width and length of a piece of printer paper. To be more precise, our recently retired director, Steve Carpenter, got a package in the mail. At the end of last year, the Center for Limnology received a very special Christmas gift all the way from Corvallis, Oregon.
