Ralph Hostetter Natural History Museum<\/a> at Eastern Mennonite University for upcoming renovations, senior biochemistry major Eli Wenger found something that \u201cmade my hair stand on end.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\"> Learn more about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/campaign\/\">Suter West renovation campaign<\/a>. <\/aside>\n<p>Wenger knew some names that live large in the university\u2019s annals as movers and shapers of an academic legacy. Professor D. Ralph Hostetter, for example, taught biology, botany, ornithology and geology courses from 1924-66. He also served as the first director of Eastern Mennonite High School from 1938-57 while teaching at the college. Hostetter continued teaching part-time until 1974. He was both founder and curator of the museum that now honors his memory.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Wenger immediately recognized the report as an important piece of institutional history: the black-bound, frayed-at-the-edges folder displayed a simple silver-lined, white sticker with typewritten title: \u201cLife History of The Carolina Junco\/D. Ralph Hostetter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So too did Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/yoderjm\">Jim Yoder<\/a>, the museum\u2019s current curator, who joined Wenger to appreciate the find.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1654\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1654\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1654 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.emustories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hostetter-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"hostetter\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor D.

One can only guess how, 23 years after his study, Hostetter happened to return to his dissertation. However, the editor of \u201cThe Raven,\u201d since its first edition in 1930 through 1969, was Professor J.J. Murray, who was Hostetter\u2019s supervisor of field studies at UVa.<\/p>\n<p>In the preface, we catch a glimpse of Hostetter\u2019s love for nature. He writes, \u201cWhose heart is not lightened by the first song of spring? Where is the country-bred and reared boy who does not find inspiration and charm in the color and song of birds? Is there anyone too busy with his work to pause for a moment before a nest of eggs or hungry nestlings, or to watch a distressed mother bird hurl epithets at a stray cat, or tenderly care for her brood?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hostetter came to EMS in 1924, accepting a $600 annual loss in salary \u2013 the equivalent of a $7,000 pay cut today \u2013 to shift from a Pennsylvania high school to Eastern Mennonite School. His master\u2019s degree was in education from Harvard, which caused him to be viewed with suspicion by some board members.<\/p>\n<p>In 1938, he earned his PhD in ornithology from the University of Virginia, one of the few professors on campus at the time to have earned a doctorate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1657\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29820\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29820\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/09\/museum-treasure-comes-light-professor-d-ralph-hostetters-love-god-nature-carolina-junco\/eastern-mennonite-school-avian-society-1936-teacher-d-ralph-hostetter-harrisonburg-virginia\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-29820\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29820 size-medium\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Eastern-Mennonite-School-Avian-Society-1936-teacher-D-Ralph-Hostetter-Harrisonburg-Virginia-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"eastern-mennonite-school-avian-society-1936-teacher-d-ralph-hostetter-harrisonburg-virginia\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Eastern-Mennonite-School-Avian-Society-1936-teacher-D-Ralph-Hostetter-Harrisonburg-Virginia-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Eastern-Mennonite-School-Avian-Society-1936-teacher-D-Ralph-Hostetter-Harrisonburg-Virginia-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Eastern-Mennonite-School-Avian-Society-1936-teacher-D-Ralph-Hostetter-Harrisonburg-Virginia-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Eastern-Mennonite-School-Avian-Society-1936-teacher-D-Ralph-Hostetter-Harrisonburg-Virginia.jpg 1197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hostetter was faculty sponsor of the Avian Society, here on a field trip in 1936.

The club held monthly meetings and hosted field trips to local landmarks Tide Spring, Brock\u2019s Gap, Rawley Springs, South River Falls and Mole Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Hostetter\u2019s interests were not limited to his students or academic pursuits. He lobbied for better care of the grounds. \u201cIn our Park,\u201d he wrote, \u201c\u2026we find fish, eggshells, cans and rubbish dumped on the grounds, also pig pens built there. These things are very unsightly and obnoxious. We recommend that no more land be sold, but it be developed for the purposes stated above (a piece of ground\u2026where students may get a touch of the wild; where they may study birds, flowers, trees, etc., as found in nature)\u2026 [T]ransplant and replant trees, plant wild flowers, preserve bird and wild life and keep grounds mowed in decent shape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Hostetter\u2019s urging is one reason why Park Woods are the pristine setting they still are today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Museum curation in retirement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After retiring from teaching in 1966, Hostetter curated the natural history museum. Officially opened in 1968, it contains over 6,000 specimens, including many mammals and birds that the curator obtained and prepared for exhibition himself, and numerous rocks and minerals he acquired during extensive travels throughout the U. S., Mexico, Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29824\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/09\/museum-treasure-comes-light-professor-d-ralph-hostetters-love-god-nature-carolina-junco\/museum\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-29824\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29824\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Museum-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A rendition of upcoming museum renovations.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Museum-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Museum-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/09\/Museum-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rendition of upcoming museum renovations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With hardly any acquisitions budget to speak of, he paid for most of the mounted heads that famously adorn the walls of Suter Science 106 out of his own pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Yoder, the current curator, says he\u2019s energized by the potential for updated space and a new generation of visitors to the museum.
