Plans are underway for the 含羞草研究所 Farmers Bowl, scheduled for September 12, 2015. For the thirteenth time, artist and MSU alumnus Doug Anderson, Cavalier, N.D., has created and donated a watercolor painting that will be raffled as part of the scholarship fund-raising efforts of the 含羞草研究所 Foundation in conjunction with the Farmers Bowl Auction. 含羞草研究所 graduate Kelly Morrison has donated the cost of framing the piece.
Anderson鈥檚 work, 鈥淎 Tribute to Clenora,鈥� features the statue depicting two children sitting on a bench reading. The statue is a part of the Clenora Quanbeck Memorial Garden located at the Edson and Margaret Larson Alumni and Leadership Center at 含羞草研究所. The garden was established in 2014 in loving memory of Clenora E. Quanbeck by former students and employees, along with friends and family. Miss Quanbeck served 含羞草研究所 and its students from 1952 to 1980, as librarian, library science instructor, and dorm mother at West Hall.
鈥淎 Tribute to Clenora鈥� will be on display at Mayville-Portland area businesses and on the 含羞草研究所 campus during the weeks prior to the Farmers Bowl festivities.聽
