Harrison Ford Characters Trivia Questions

The New Indiana Jones film "Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" comes out next week, so in celebration we're pitting two of Harrison Ford's best known characters against each other and letting you decide which one was cooler: Han Solo or Indiana Jones?

Previous 80's Trivia Questions included Stallone Vs. Schwarzeneggar, Nicolas Cage Vs. John Cusack, and Tom Cruise Vs. Kevin Bacon. This time, both contestants are fictional characters played by the same actor, Harrison Ford. Both of these characters are on the American Film Institute's list of all time greatest film heroes, both are rogue-ish adventurers with a quick wit and steady aim, and both are ladykillers.

Han Solo is a pirate when he first appears in the Star Wars series, vicariously appealing as a scoundrel from the wrong side of the galaxy. Of course, the character goes through a transformation when his conscience compels him to act on behalf of others instead of only in his own interests. When we see Han Solo appear in the next two films, he's a ranking member of the rebel alliance, fighting the good fight. In fact, what is his rank in "The Empire Strikes Back?"

Bonus Question: The Indiana Jones series of films from the 80's has the main character fighting lots of soldiers (and pretty much anyone else), even though he himself is not identified as a member of any military organization. No, Dr. Jones is an academic, a Professor of Archeology. According to the label on the package he receives from Venice in the film "Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade," what is the name of the college where Indiana Jones is teaching at the time?
