University Of Chicago Admissions Department Receives Package For Indiana Jones

The University of Chicago Admissions department received a package Wednesday that initially wasn't given a second thought until they gave it a closer look.

On the surface, the package addressed to "Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr." seemed innocuous enough until a student mail worker asked who Dr. Jones was. That's when they realized the package was addressed to none other than Indiana Jones.

Further inspection of the packages contents revealed they contained a detailed replica of Dr. Abner Ravenwood's journal from Raiders of the Lost Ark, photos of Marion Ravenwood and replica money, most of it made by hand. Rosenwald Hall, which houses U of C's Admission's Department, also used to be home to the university's geography and geology departments.

The university, naturally, is looking for clues as to the person behind this elaborate prank; email them here and, for that matter, we're interested, as well.
