Brief History and Future Plans of MTSC In 1911, Middle Tennessee State College was begun as Middle Tennessee Normal. At that time the facilities of the college included only the Administration Building, the old caicteria. and Rutledge Hall. Since that time, MTSC has grown to an up-and-coming institution with twenty-eight buildings in- cluding two new dormitories, the Student Union Ikiilding, the Science Building, and many others. The aviation department has moved to a ne v airport on Lebanon Road. Plans for the future include an ROTC Armofy, a new library, a practice house in home manage- ment, and a nursery school. QcmlentA FACULTY ORGANIZATIONS SPORTS FEATURES ROTO CLASSES ADVERTISING ADMINISTRATION PRESIDENT Q. M. SMITH In 1938 O. M. Smith became president of Middle Tennessee State College. With his excellent gtiidance and mtelligent leadership, our college has grown steadily. Under the administration ol Mr. Smith many new buildings have been added to our campus. Such buildings as the Memorial Health and Physical Education Building, the Natatorium. the new stadium, the four units of the Industrial .Arts department, the agriculture center of three units, the Student Union Building, the new boys ' dormitory and a girls ' dormitory have been added: and plans ha ' e been approved by the State for a new library. Over a htuidred housing units were erected as a part of the post war de elopment for veterans. A new main- tenance building and the ROTC armory are in construction. It is really not necessary to elaborate upon the many imixniani (oniributions .Mr. Smith has made to the college, because his outstanding record speaks for itself. President Smith has done a highly commendable job and deserves the highest praise. In his sixteen years on this campus, he has set an example for the student body of untiring le ()ii()n and capable lead- ership. ' ■ (if ciiior J-iank (llcinciu, America ' s youngest exccuiixc. has made liis in- lliicncc gieaily leli at Middle Tennessee State (College by his undying efforts for education. Wlien members of the State Board of Edtication met at Middle Tennessee State College on February 4-5, the col- lege turned all-oiu to meet them. They vere entertained at dinner where the student body officers were hosts and hostesses. They were taken on a direct tour of the campus by these officers. The ttnu ended in a reception at the new Afonohan Hall. State Board members meeting here were Bartlow Strang, Sam Wilson, W. R. Landrum. R. B. Webb, Fred C. Elliott, Mrs. Ferdinand Powell. Edward L.

In addition to this, advanced students have access to special ecjuipment such as the Becknian .Spectrophotometer. Photoelectric C ' .aloriincier. and Able Refractometer. The third lloor of the science building is oc- cupied by the Biology Department. In this de- partment freshmen come into contact with living materials for laboratory study, an essential phase of this field. Majors and minors may be acquired in biology with the recjuireti courses of embryology. zoolog)% botany, genetics, and others. There are indi- vidual rooms in which students can carry on private studies m addition to the adequately equipped classrooms and laboratories. Those ith professional or industrial goals sho ' a gro v- ing interest in this field.

The well-co-ordinated program of this departnicnt makes it possible for the sttidents to be physically active as well as mentally alert while on the campus. It is a re- quirement of all stud ents to take at least six quarters of physical education before they are eligible for a degree. These credits may be ob- tained in 42 different clas.ses such as tennis, bowling, golf, swimming, volleyball, camping, basketball, badminton, dancing, and baseball. It is possible for a student to obtain a major or ia i minor in this department by meeting the neces- sary requirements. To those students who have extraordinary abil- ity for participation in basketball and football there are scholarships offered. This helps to maintain fine teams for the college as well as to permit boys to attend college who otherwise could not. The health cotirses which this department of- lers are recpiired in the obtaining of an ele- mentary certificate, but they also round otit the ctuTicuhmi of the department.

TRAINING SCHOOL The Training School is the branch of our col- lege educational system where the MTSC students majoring in education have an opportunity to do their practice teaching under capable and helplul instrtictors. Supervised teaching offers students the opportimity to put to use those things they have learned. The Training School teaclies stu- dents high educational standards and inspires them as future teachers to achic c liiglier ideals and goals. A major part of the vork of those sdio are qtial- ifying tor a teacher ' s certificate is the actual class- room practice under super ision of ex]3erienced teachers with graduate training. AVIATION Miller Lanier has done a line job in turthering interest in aviation among the students on ovn tampiis. Under his leadership and due to in- creasing efforts and co-operation of the adminis- tration, many ' aluable coinses ha ' e been offered those students interested in the aviation field. Through the training which students receive here they are able to oljtain private, conunercial. and instructor ' s ratings. In addition to learning to Hy. students are offered courses in navigation, radio, meteorology, and many other phases in aviation. The department of aviation has re- cently moved the college airport to a new location on Lebanon Road, with classrooms remaining in the administration building. INFIRMARY Mrs. Clifford Byrne is the registered nurse in charge of and at residence in the infuinary. She received her training at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville and has been school ntn se at MTSC since 1951. Dr. John Carlton, an alumnus of MTSC. is completing his second year on the cam- pus as a considtant for the students. A student may obtain medication and care at the infirmary for anything from a headache to minor smgery. ' ]ien students pay their registra- tion fees, a certain amoimt is set aside to pav for ihis care. STEAM PLANT The steam plant is the home of a modern, centrally located heating system shich provides heat and hot water for all of the camptis biiililings. New heating ecjiiipment was installed a year ago -which this vinter -was converted to enable the school to use natural gas. At the end of World War II the building was completely modernized. The comfort and con enicnccs of the school depend on the efficiency of this department. MAINTENANCE The job of the maintenance crew is to keep our campus clean and beautiful. This is a year- roimd job and recpiires much sweat and toil upon the part of many jjeople. The janitors are re- sponsible for the neatness of both buildings and groimds. The cooks, of course, prepare all our food. Oiu- hats are olf to the maintenance crew for a job well done. ■f j-:.f.Kk. 7 VET VILLAGE Located immediately behind the main campus is a small illage composed ol: frame apartments and trailers vhich house the families of veterans and married students.

ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY These are the officers of the Associated Student Body. After a hotly contested campaign and the joy of victory, members find their troubles have jtist begim. The president and vice-president be- gin combing through an enrollment of over 1, )()() students, searching for others to help shoulder their burdens. A secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, attorney general, chief justice of the supreme court, and foiu associate justices are chosen. By this selection of officers, it is evident that the Associated Sttident Body patterns its organiza- tion after the United .States. Through these of- ficers the student problems and activities are luii- fied and presented to school administrators for consideration, advice, and approval. ASB officers are usually the first students known to the freshman class because they are responsible for the activities throughout freshman veek. This includes preparing and distribiuing the Blue and White Book which includes information about the school such as rides, schedides, curricidiun re- cjuirements, welcome addresses, and other help- fid information. The ASB is in charge of an in- formation bureau to help pull the freshmen through registration. They are responsible for arranging initiation procedures. This year, for the first time the ASB sold fresh- man caps and started publishing a weekly news bulletin. They bought the first television set for the Union Building. The officers were on a stu- dent-faculty committee to study assembly prob- lems. The committee recommended and effected the elimination of compulsory attendance. The organization and the student-faculty social committee are responsible for planning and financing a weekly tun-night and special pro grams and dances. The .A.SB officers campaign for a job and they get one.

MIDLANDER STAFF The MIDLANDER represents one of ihc larg- est projects which is undertaken by a siiulent group. VV ork was begun at tlie start ol I all quarter last September. Senior and loAver class pictures vere made; organizations were contacted, and pictines were made of them. The staff developed an idea for the book, after vliich came the tlirill of watching an abstract plan gro ' into a real MIDLANDER. The (juarter ended vith our Avork well under way. and another thrill was just around ilic cor- ner. Preparations were made for the Midlander Ball, and the annoiuicement of Miss Midlander vas to be made. Everyone was asking, ' A ' ho will she be? Finallv. all ilie work was finished, and the staff covdd relax and hope for tlieir finished product to be the best of them all! Now you have the MIDLANDER of 1954:- and. from the abo e sunmiary. you know of some of the work don.e on this year ' s edition. We hope you ill enjoy it as nuuh as we have! Seated: Mary Will Cox.
