Submissions sought for Merrifield Competition

The Chester Fritz Library and the Alumni Association and Foundation will sponsor the annual Merrifield Competition for the most outstanding research paper submitted by a UND student.

Papers will be juried by Curt Hanson from Special Collections and the following faculty members: Crystal Alberts, English; Albert Berger, History; Graeme Dewar, Physics and Astrophysics; and Douglas Munski, Geography. The deadline for the submission of papers is Friday, April 30. For more information, please contact Special Collections and/or visit www.library.und.edu/about/merrifield.htm.
