Things

Highlighting various entities, like student groups or notable events or historical happenings, at the University of Minnesota Morris. This ongoing project began in the summer of 2019. The number of biographies and entries continues to grow as research at the archives continues.

Meiningens

Meiningens is the University of Minnesota Morris student theatre club. It was founded in 1961 as the "Drama Club," and presented its first play, "The Curious of Savage," in March of that year. The club has thrived since then, though it went through many name changes in its early years. Testifying to the group's vitality, during the covid year of 2021, the group released a video recording of their production of Euripedes' "Iphigenia in Aulis." In many ways Meiningens exemplifies much of what is unique about UMN Morris campus culture.

Prairie Gate Press

The Prairie Gate Press was launched on the University of Minnesota Morris campus in 1971 and remained in operation until about 2005. The press, itself, is a small clamshell letterpress and the name of the enterprise, Prairie Gate, referenced Morris as the "Prairie Gate to the West."[1]
