TBP SALUTES NSU

Second in an irregular series

Today, since we are snowed in the house and stuck in the basement, we here at TBP turn our attention to another of America’s oft-overlooked institutions of higher learning. Travel with us now to the pleasant, pretty prairie town of Aberdeen, South Dakota, home of Northern State University. Founded in . . . OK, I can’t find out when it was founded. Either 1889 or 1901. Anyway, NSU is a smallish public university with an enrollment of approximately 3000 students. While its roots are in teacher training, NSU now offers degrees in 38 different fields.

We can personally vouch for Dr. LaFave, the dean of the School of Fine Arts, having taken a history of jazz course from him back in the day. Dude knows his stuff, and he knows how to teach.

The NSU Wolves compete at the NCAA Division II level as members of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

NSU, we at TBP salute you!

  1. I have been to Aberdeen and found it to be neither “pleasant” nor “pretty.” And as far as I can tell, the Northern Sun Conference is just a bunch of North Central Conference wannabees.

  2. I, too, have been to Aberdeen and beg to differ, but that’s just me.

  3. Is NSU about to rock? Because I can’t think of any other reason you’d salute them.
