University of Chicago Receives Mysterious Indiana Jones Package

While most students worry about finals, the holidays, and next semesters schedule. One hopeful applicant (or clever Paramount/Disney PR rep) has submitted a package containing materials tied to Indiana Jones.

I'm sure the faculty in the Admissions Office of the University of Chicago were stumped to discover a package addressed to Henry Walton Jones Jr. (AKA Indiana Jones)



The faculty member recalls receiving the mail like so:

Yesterday we received a package addressed to “Henry Walton Jones, Jr.”. We sort-of shrugged it off and put it in our bin of mail for student workers to sort and deliver to the right faculty member— we get the wrong mail a lot.



Little did we know what we were looking at. When our student mail worker snapped out of his finals-tired haze and realized who Dr. Jones was, we were sort of in luck: this package wasn’t meant for a random professor in the Stat department. It is addressed to “Indiana” Jones.





The faculty member also describes the content of the package which included:

- Abner Ravenwoods Journal from Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Postcards and photos of Marion Ravenwood
- Replica money

The faculty makes note that this isn't a joke; and they're curious (as we all are) as to whether this is an applicant, a gift, some materials for a professor/teacher,or an elaborate prank.

So what do you guys think? Prank? Elaborate Application? PR Stunt? If you know anything about this awesome act, you're encouraged to email the investigative committee at indianajonesjournal@uchicago.edu

When I was a student at the University of Chicago there were warnings posted around campus that no one should open packages that were not properly addressed to a current faculty member. Years earlier one of the Unibomber's parcel bombs had been found on campus. Things have definitely relaxed since I left there.
