I n. From what they tell me. Middle Ten- nessee State College is one oj the five state colleges in Tennessee: and even though it is not the largest, it ' s the best. And I can tell you, it really has changed since I rode through here on my horse. Founded in 1911, the college had only three buildings at the time. One ivas the Administration Building. In 1925 the Gene- ral Assembly authorized the maintenance of a state teachers college in each Grand Division oj the State. Thus, the college became known as Middle Tennessee State Teachers College. Since then, the actual acreage oj the school has increased jrom 125 acres to 375, and the name has been changed to Aliddle Tennessee State College. As I said bejore, ichen I came through here, there was nothing but acres and acres oj plowed fields. Now there are 27 perma- nent brick buildings, an agricultural unit, jootball stadium, baseball field, and tennis courts. The ' Ad ' Building is still the main center oj the campus. I ivas really interested in the newest addi- tions this year and the plans jor juture im- provement. The administration has added the Family-Centered Home Matiagement Edu- cation House, a neiv jootball scoreboard, and a neiv parking area. They also paved new sidewalks and widened some oj the old ones. This has really changed the looks oj this place jor me because they didn ' t have many side- walks and roads here when I rode through with Forrest. The college ' s juture plans in- clude the recently authorized library which will be completely modern throughout. Now ni introduce you to the members oj the jaculty and tell you something about them and their departments. 18
