Davis hypothesizes that the office decor of Brigham Young University professors will reflect a combination of individuality and commonality, where the decorations will showcase philosophies, hobbies, and interests that are distinctly the professor's, but also reflect the importance of education that is common to the folk group of teachers. Davis compares professor offices to personal museums that contain individual memorabilia in addition to the values and history of a particular folk group of educators. Created by Brian Davis, a student in Eric Eliason's English 392 class during Fall 1998.
