A sculpture of Mark Twain and several other figures will be part of the trove of paintings, woodwork and sculptures done by Walter Russell to be displayed at the new location of the University of Science and Philosophy in downtown Waynesboro.

WAYNESBORO — The University of Science and Philosophy, once in Afton, will move its headquarters to the former G&W Motorwerkes Ltd. building at 518 W. Main St. in Waynesboro.

President Matt Presti said the vast trove of art owned by the university will be moved into the three-floor, 32,500-square-foot building in time for the opening around the first of May.

“This is a chance to interact with the public and to display the 40-plus tons of artwork,” said Presti. Since the university’s lease at Swannanoa Palace in Afton ended 20 years ago, the art has been in storage and the university has functioned through its online curriculum.

Presti said the university has held periodic homecoming events, including one a year ago at the Wayne Theatre. But he said the new location will allow for many functions. The third floor can accommodate corporate meetings, as well as displays of local and traveling art.

Additionally, the university will offer guided tours, classes on fine art, presentations and monthly speakers.

Join us on Facebook this coming Friday for our annual Missouri class. This year we’ll be conducting a Q&A session on the Home Study Course as well as updates for the USP from 2018 and our goals for 2019. Our fundraising goal during this class is $1000.00 (to go toward the Museum and Art fund). See you then!

President of the USP, Matt Presti, has hosted the 8th installment of INNERVIEWS, featuring an in-person talk with Dr. Tim Binder, former President of the USP.  This series features talks past and present, from fellow Russell affiliates and students who give their unique interpretations of the Russell teachings as they have learned them over the years.  The insights brought to the table are very helpful for the serious students of the Russell Cosmology, and give deeper insights into the philosophy and science behind creation.

We're going into fundraising mode at the University of Science and Philosophy (USP).

Nikola Tesla's legacy was preserved. Thomas Edison's legacy was preserved. Mark Twain's legacy was preserved. Many U.S. Presidents and their legacies were preserved, and the list goes on.

In taking this position, we've made it our mission to preserve the legacy of Dr. Walter and Lao Russell. Like all other foundations and museums, fundraising is key to that effort.

A master of the five fine arts, 11 conferred degrees with merely a 4th grade education, 36 tons of art and sculpting (in a warehouse for the last twenty years), Dr. Russell was an unparalleled genius in so many areas. He is more known now than ever in history. This great man, whom the world will come to admire as his name becomes as household a name as Einstein, is long overdue his full credit and recognition for his multitudinous accomplishments in the arts and sciences.

It is time to bring his art back to the world stage. We need your help in sharing the news of our effort worldwide.

The USP has given many video productions freely, including the entirety of the Fulcrum Magazine issues through our website as well as galleries and articles galore. If you feel you have received something from this giving, please consider regiving with a donation today. With your help, we cannot fail in our mission to preserve the Russell Legacy for all posterity.

Thank you and God bless.
