FAMOUS SUMMER SCHOOL TENT — The old timers at Bemidji State College always will tell the new faculty members about teaching in a tent during the summers of the Twenties. Dr. Ruth Brune Mangelsdorf liked to tell the story of how her class was interrupted from time to time when grass snakes appeared on the scene. The tent was a necessity as summer school classes at the time were always larger than regular sessions and the tent took care of the overflow enrollment from Deputy Hall. (1922)
