Fast facts | |
| • For many years, IU Founders Day was celebrated on or close to Jan. 20, because that was the actual date of the university’s founding in 1820. But a January “Foundation Day,” as it was called through the early part of the 20th century, was moved to a date nearer springtime in 1925. Legend has it that the usually snowy trek from the Student Building to the old Assembly Hall was a hassle for the academically robed faculty participants. http://www.iuinfo.indiana.edu/homepages/0123/text/fair.htm
• Founded in 1950, the IU Singing Hoosiers have entertained millions in 18 states and more than 26 countries. They have been nominated for Grammy Awards through the years and can be heard on five Telarc International recordings with Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.
• Islamic Awareness Month continues through March 10 on the Bloomington campus, sponsored by the Muslim Student Union. Among events is the Eid celebration tomorrow (March 1) at 5:30 p.m. in the Grand Hall of the Neal-Marshall Center. | |
