| Ah, Pizzagirl, yours makes much more logical sense and is probably historically accurate. My story is widely told among tour guides and hasn't been debunked, exactly, but I'm guessing it's just a dressed up version of your explanation.
Sometimes we still tell certain myths after they've been revealed: This summer the daughter of someone on the board of trustees was on a tour and pointed out that NU was NOT founded by a small group of methodist ministers, which is a phrase we use to start our tour. Only a few of them were ministers. Yet I still use the phrase for the sake of brevity.
Others that we don't tell--Norris was not built to be riot proof and Tech is not sinking. |
