1920, 100 Years Ago.

"An announcement today that will be hailed with delight by hook and line enthusiasts is that from  the Normal school (NIU at the time) to the effect that the administration is planning to grant permission to the public to fish with hook and line in the lake on the Normal school grounds (now the Lagoon) on Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

"No seining will be permitted at any time.  The notice is signed by Dr. J. Stanley Brown, president of the school.

"If you can't find the boys on Saturday, you'll know where they are.  Get your fish worms ready fellers!"
