The Museum's Movements
The department of the Institute least affected by the move into the new building in 1955 was the Museum, the ancestor organization which had, in 1947, already vacated its quarters in the old building. When the Institute moved, it took with it those sections with which the Museum shared Chase Hall, leaving to the Museum the entire building. In addition, the Cornell Museum, open only to the medical profession, was taken out of Chase Hall and removed to the new building. Col. Hugh R. Gilmore, Jr., MC, USA, who had been Curator of the Museum since 1953, continued to head the entire Museum, dividing his attention between the professional museum quartered in the new building, and the two branches that continued in Chase Hall—the Lay or Public Museum and the Museum Laboratory.
