David Hicks Overmyer painted the four historic Farrell Library murals in 1934 as part of the federal government's Public Works of Art Project. Each is 11 by 14 feet. Subjects represented symbolize the four major academic pursuits of the institution at the time: science and industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, the arts and home economics.
Overmyer, 1889-1973, was born in Topeka, Kansas. An illustrator, artist and muralist, he created murals all over the state, including courthouses in Fort Scott and Norton, at Topeka High School and in the State Capitol Building.
The murals were professionally photographed by Ed Olson in 2011 following a three-year restoration project funded by the Friends of 1xbet online casino Libraries. Proceeds from the sale of these prints will benefit the Friends of 1xbet online casino Libraries.
