History Professor

Just the other day while I was giving tours of the Custer House, a strange thing happened, someone understood what I was talking about. This may not seem like it would be abnormal however while on tour and the year becomes 1875 where Victorian customs and dress are the norm. Such things as fainting couches and the corsets that made them necessary were things that this man seemed to have heard of before.

After the tour I talked to the fellow for a while and come to find out he is a professor of history at Dickinson State University. After telling him that I was a History Major from NDSU, he said that he had graduated from Cornell with Dr. Barrett, as they were both working towards their PhDs. Dr. Barrett has recently been hired as the new Asian History professor at NDSU. He recommended taking classes from her as she has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable in her field.
