Orus Eash Memorial Architecture Exhibit

The designer of nine Goshen College structures, Orus Eash (1915-2008), will be remembered in a memorial exhibit in the college's Good Library Gallery from Oct. 2 to 17, with a reception during the college's Homecoming weekend on Oct. 3 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Orus' son, John Eash of Sacramento, Calif., has selected designs and renderings to share from his father's 500-plus building designs collection.

According to Goshen College Professor Emeritus of Art Abner Hershberger, Orus Eash "learned at [Goshen College] that his interests in engineering and art could be brought together in the discipline of architecture. He then enrolled at the University of Michigan and followed his dream [and graduated in 1939]."

Eash, a 1938 Goshen College alumnus, was influenced by international schools of architecture including Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn and others. His style reflected the simple elegance of Danish-Modernism.

The exhibit will provide a comprehensive view of his work and will include photos of his architectural works. Included in the exhibit will be designs for nine GC structures done by Eash. He was the architect of College Mennonite Church, along with the Union Building, Newcomer Center, Wyse Hall, and Kratz, Miller and Yoder residence halls. He also developed a campus master plan.

Eash also designed large office buildings, commercial buildings, private residences as well as churches. He designed more than 500 buildings, covering 26 different categories of architecture. He practiced architecture in Fort Wayne, Ind.; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Traverse City, Mich.; Sarasota, Fla.; and Sacramento, Calif.

Linda Keane, a professor of architecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will discuss her mentor's work at the opening reception.

This exhibit is sponsored by the Goshen College Art Department and the Harold and Wilma Good Library and is free and open to the public.

"A Cabinet of Curiosities"

Varied items from the museum collection that do not fit its mission statement or that have not yet fit into one of the themed exhibits. They range from the beautiful (quilts, fraktur, decorated boxes) to the odd (portable organ, whiskey bottle, marble roller) and include a few fakes and mistakes. The early English name for a museum, "cabinet of curiosities", referred to a special room in a home that exhibited a miscellany of curious items. Faye Peterson, curator. Mennonite-Amish Museum committee, sponsor. Opening Public Reception Sunday October 25, 2-4pm.
