Some IU Facts and Trivia:

Just a quick, fun post here…

This past Thursday, the Wells Library held a game night for freshman and new students at IU as part of the school’s new student orientation week.  The IU Archives was asked to help with one of the events, a Jeopardy-style contest featuring questions about the university and its history.  After some diligent work, Dina came up with a solid list of over 60 questions (or, technically, answers, since it was Jeopardy) for the new students.   So, I decided to share a few of them for you folks today.  Ill post the answers in a later post, so, stay tuned…

1.    Jordan Field used to be at this campus location.
2.    Her father paid her $5 to apply to IU and in 1867, she became our first coed.
3.    Now a functioning house museum, this was the home of IU’s first first family.
