Indiana Jones materials to appear on display at Oriental Institute Museum

The contents of a package of Indiana Jones material that mysteriously arrived at the University of Chicago will be on display beginning Thursday, Dec. 20 and continuing through February in the lobby of the Oriental Institute Museum. The mystery began Dec. 12, when a package addressed to "Henry Walton Jones, Jr." arrived at the University of Chicago Admissions Office. A student worker realized that the package was meant for Indiana Jones, the famous archaeologist of Raiders of the Lost Ark fame. Inside the package was a journal of Abner Ravenwood, the fictional UChicago professor who trained Indiana Jones. Six days after its arrival, the mystery was solved.
