March 4, 1928 American Statesman article that says someone found “10 busts” in the 3rd floor of Old Main. It doesn’t say who found them nor does it name what is found. It also says nothing about the other 14 pieces (statues, heroic busts).

We can find no other mention of the 24 item statuary to the present time.
