Bernt Julius Muus: What do you know about the man with the shiny nose?

What do you know about the founder of our college whose bust in Old Main has a very shiny nose? What were his intentions for establishing our institution? Why is there little mention of him on campus 150 years after its founding?

All are welcome to join Professor Kari Lie Dorer from the Norwegian Department for an interactive quiz filled with “uffda’s” and “Um Yah Yah’s” in Tomson Hall 280 on September 13. Prizes will be given to both the best score and randomly to those who participate. After the quiz, all are welcome to celebrate Dorer’s publication, Muus vs. Muus: The Scandal that Shook Norwegian America.

Quiz Game: 4–5 p.m.

Book Celebration: 5–5:30 p.m.
