"This gift lias major significance for the University in terms of teaching, research, and public service," BYU Pres. Dallin Oaks said. "The Monte L. Bean Museum of Life Science will be a focus of student and faculty work in the life sciences and a mecca for display to campus visitors. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Bean and his family for their generosity." Dr. Wilmer Tanner, curator of the BYU Life Science Museum, said the new building is "the realization of a dream of many years. For the first time we will be able to provide faculty, students and the public with a superbly organized research and display center for the biological sciences." Dr. Tanner said that for years the museum's collections have been contained in half a dozen buildings, making effective display and convenient reference difficult.
