Northwest Missouri State University - Tower Yearbook (Maryville, MO)

Since the University ' s creation in 1905, a constant shift of alterations followed. After fighting for a state normal school in northern Missouri, Gov. Joseph W. Folk signed the bill that created The Fifth District Normal School March 25, 1905. Two name changes later, it received the name we recognize today as Northwest Missouri State University in 1972. A century later, we heard plans about centennial celebrations and traditions that created the University ' s living legacies. As we returned for another year, new suites and apartments graced | campus. The Station, once known as the Conference Center, bustled with students gathering for social relaxation. Entryway remodeling kept the Bell Tower under construction until late fall. An N replaced the University seal, and construction made the platform handicap accessible. The University received their second visit in two years from Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award representatives. Administrators hoped to be the second university in the country recognized for excellence. [Continued page k A float passes down Fourth Street during the annual Homecoming parade.
