Sunday Summons
For centuries, Sunday bells have called communities from the ordinary business of the week toward a common hour of worship. On a college campus, the summons carries across walks, gardens, residence halls and playing fields, briefly gathering a scattered community by sound. Some bells mark the hour; others are rung by hand, continuing a practice older than the institutions around them.
Beef & Sour Cream
Beef Stroganoff originated in 19th-century Russia, named after the wealthy Stroganov family. It first appeared in cookbooks like Elena Molokhovets's "A Gift to Young Housewives" around the 1870s. The founding receipe was built around sautéed beef strips in a simple sauce of mustard, bouillon, and sour cream (smetana). It spread globally after the 1917 Revolution via émigrés (so-called White Russians) that landed in Nebraska where there is plenty of Top Round Steak.
