Description
This interesting brochure offers a wealth of information about Michigan State College during the early 1940s (the school was renamed on its centennial in 1955). A simple campus guide identifies 135 different buildings, plus sporting facilities and transportation routes. The verso presents a city plan of East Lansing, noting the large MSC farming lands in the surrounding area. A list of courses and a small map of Michigan pinpointing 11 college ‘sub-stations’ highlights how “Michigan State College Serves the Entire State.”
Though the original date and author are credited to the National Youth Administration in 1941, the presence of the proposed Natural Science Building (completed in 1949) and the handwritten addition of ‘Shaw Hall’ (completed in 1950) indicates a possible later date of issue.
