Who's that couple?


Who are the two people gazing across the atrium on the second floor? The man is Clarence R. King, who in 1868 at age 25 led one of the first scientific geological expeditions into Idaho. King later became the first director of the U.S. Geological Survey.

The woman's name is unknown, but she was crowned Miss Ida-Ho, Harvest Queen of 1911. Find out what other neat historical resources are available in Special Collections, second floor of the Library.
