Pickled Brain

From the May 5, 1933, Gateway

 

You’ve undoubtedly heard of pickled herring. Perhaps even pickled eggs.

 

But pickled brain?

 

OU Professor Hugh Robert Orr certainly has. In fact, he’s kept a pickled human brain in Classroom No. 2 for more than eight years. However, the good professor was contemplating ways to rid himself of what the Gateway called “the pickled monstrosity.”

 

It seems, reported the student newspaper, that “some of the more esthetic damsels in the class have taken to fainting during tests and blaming it on the embalmed gray matter.”
