Ashleigh Pust is a senior this year majoring in history with a minor in anthropology. She is hoping to graduate this coming spring and actually make it out of college in four years. Ashleigh is originally from California but grew up in Andover, MN. This semester she will be researching the monument to Ivar Aasen located on the campus of Concordia College In 1913 the monument to Ivar Aasen was erected on the Moorhead campus of Concordia College. The money for the monument was raised by a Norweidgen exchange student. The main focus of my paper will be the memory groups of the Norweidgen and students. Since its construction, the Ivar Aasen monument has become a forgotten monument. The primary sources I plan to use include The Forum and The Cobbler newspapers. My tentative thesis is: Concordia College's monument to Ivar Aasen, built in 1913, pays tribute to Aasen's great love of learning and the Norweidgen language.
