In what year was Founders Day established?

In honor of Founders Day 2013, each day this week a new trivia question will be posted on E-Net before 10 a.m. All Elon students, faculty and staff are welcome to submit one answer to eheiser@elon.edu, and at the end of each day, all correct answers will be pooled and a winner chosen at random.

Today’s prize: A $25 gift card for Smitty’s ice cream.

For help finding the answers to the trivia questions, visit a display in Belk Library on Founders Day 2013 honorees Reid & Grace Maynard. Answers may be submitted until 6 p.m.

A special College Coffee and tree planting is set for Tuesday, March 12, and a special chapel program will be held Thursday, March 14, to honor the Maynards.

Elon established Founders Day to honor significant figures from its history and to commemorate the lives of administrators, faculty and trustees who impacted the growth of the institution.
