It ' s more than a theme, it ' s more than a slogan. As MTSU celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, it ' s a chance for us to look back and reflect upon where we ' ve come from, where we are now, and hopefully where we will be in the future. In the past 75 years, MTSU has gone from a two-year, teachers college to the third largest university in Tennessee.

The Midlander has tried this year to record a perma- nent history of MTSU circa 1986. As you look through this book, just sit back and think: Take A Look At Us Now! ( ' ak(B g mk ( l QQ muf
