Campuses:
We couldn’t resist this photo from the home economics department back in 1961. Why is the dress so small? And why does the woman who’s watching look so deadly serious? If you know the answers—or even better, if you recognize the women in this photo—let us know at solutions@umn.edu. The correct—or maybe just the most entertaining—answers will receive an official CFANS coffee mug.
OK, so it was sort of a trick question. Department of Forest Resources associate professor Rebecca Montgomery is working here with then-students Amber Ellering and Chris Gronewold, using a compass to get a bearing along which they will run a transect with the meter tape that Chris is holding. Lots of readers correctly pointed out that they’re using a compass, but Patrick Scheller (B.S. Forest Resources, ‘82) looked closely enough to notice that it’s a staged photo—they’re not sweating or dirty. Gronewald also wrote in: “I had better know what they were doing, I’m one of them! Funny part is, we were posing for that photo.” Both Scheller and Gronewald will get a CFANS coffee mug.
