Description
Funding is a perennial challenge for state universities, and this map is a public expression of Michigan State’s pride in their diversified sourcing. Blue buildings are constructed from state taxes, and the vastly more numerous brown buildings were built ‘from gifts, grants and borrowed funds.’
Nearly 300 separate locations are identified within the two indices, each corresponding to a coordinate on the grid system within the map’s border. The Big House dominates the center of the image, and a decorative compass rose can be found in the upper right. The verso features photographs, activities for campus visitors, and a map of the agricultural campus and its farms.
Published for the 1968/1969 school year by Michigan State University.
