"(The University of Minnesota Duluth) is in a very sweet spot for the system and for the people of Minnesota: a research university on a smaller campus in a smaller city in an important part of the state next to a big lake. You know if you had to describe what you ideally want to have as a component of any university system, those would be the things you'd list. And that's exactly what Duluth provides with great style and affection."
- University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler in an interview Monday with the News Tribune Editorial Board
