Gustavus Adolphus urban legends

  • Afraid of ghosts? Apparently, they like to hide out in Bjorling Music Hall.

  • Each year during freshman orientation, first-years (and their overzealous Gustie Greeters) attend the annual hoedown. Word has it that 80 percent of first-years end up marrying their dance partner.

  • Two years ago the College set into place the Gustavus Honor Code, which students are supposed to sign after each exam that they take. Word has it that the Honor Code, which is hung in every academic room on campus, was plagiarized from the Honor Code used at Harvard University.
