O The University often relies on gifts from
generous alumni and friends for additions to the
( medical students, or toys for the children at Mott
Children's Hospital.
" " But sometimes gifts arrive that are a little out of
U n i m oI the ordinary -interesting, even amusing.
V I ONCE THE medical school was offered a com-
Hsplete collection of snails for research. But accor-
ding to Janet Maher of the hospital's financial
development office, the offer was declined.
"I presume the snails are either languishing
somewhere or were offered to another school,"
Maher said. The fate of the rejected snails is left to
the imagination.
The fate of another rejected gift is more certain.
The complete contents of a doctor's office from teh
1850s now reposes at Cobblestone Farm, a local
historical farm house and museum. The antiques
include an apothecary cabinet, a desk, books, an
amputation kit, mortar and pestle, and a diploma.
OFFERS OF medical and University of
Michigan memorabilia are common when people
clean out their closets and attics, according to
Maher.
"They are looking for a home for what they
regard as interesting memorabilia and they con-
sider the medical school or hospital the ap-
propriate place," she said.
Doctors gowns from the last century is one
common gift idea that is rather uncommon.
ANOTHER PLACE at the University that
receives the attic and closet "treasures" is the
Theatre Department. Costumes and props are
donated from interested and good-willed patrons.
"We do take unusual things," said Opal
Cameron-Bailey of the Professional Theatre
