Factoid Friday
On this day in 1916, the founder of Gustavus, Eric Norelius passed away. He had been a minister, teacher, author, and church leader in the Midwest for over 60 years. In 1967, the College dedicated its new co-educational residence hall to him—a fitting touch, since Norelius supported co-education from the College’s founding in 1862.
