While I had previously postulated that the page might be run by the venerable former Facebooker Evan Priestley, instead it is run by some Greek dude, Laimonas Zakas.

How Did Students From the 1910s Get on Facebook?

There is a glitch in the matrix at the University of Nevada at Reno, where two students from the 1910s have joined Facebook. Joe McDonald‘s profile says that he likes to box, that his favorite musicians include W.C. Handy, Irving Berlin and Scott Joplin.
