[Magdalen] Named for saints.

[Jay Weigel]

Norbert must have been a very popular saint among some of the earlier
settlers of Wisconsin, as witness St. Norbert College in DePere, WI. When I
was growing up I knew several men, old and young but all older than I,
named Norbert and universally called Norb. All were of German descent.
