This date in 1914 began a two-day pageant at the University of North Dakota. With UND hosting the annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, students honored the convocation with their presentation of 'A Pageant of the Northwest' at the Bankside Theater along a bend of the English Coulee. Not known for its subtlety, UND's student newspaper, The Student, remarked a week earlier, 'This pageant is to be a spectacular representation of the conquest of the Northwest.' Its program included a prologue and four parts.
