The challenge of collecting sports memorabilia at Harvard, says the Hall of Athletic History volunteer curator Warren Renny Little 55, is that all the equipment is signed in and signed out, so no one ever thinks about keeping it. For Little - a Harvard athletics devotee since his track days - the task of assembling a three-dimensional collection of Harvard athletic artifacts to accompany the Murr Centers timeline mural, is further strained by eBay, neglected attics, and of all things, competition against specialty shops and local taverns. A lot of these artifacts end up in bars in South Boston or in places like Leavitt & Pierce tobacco shop, he concedes.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2001/02/05-renny-450-11.jpg
