This was a time for expansion-new build- ings sprang up everywhere, long-neglected military courses were revived, a military band formed and a student government system started. Co-education sparked the social life, and annual traditions such as the J -Hop were developing. An athletic department had been set up in 1886 and the college yell, Uzz, Uzz, Uzz-MAC!', could be heard at all track events and football games. By 1907, the 50th anniversary of its open- ing, the college was a solidly established in- stitution with more than a thousand students. World War I left MAC on the doorstep of a new era-a time of rapid change when the small agricultural school would develop into a great university. President David Friday took a step in this direction by establishing a general education curriculum outside the previous limited courses in agriculture, homemaking and other vocational subjects. In 1925, Michigan Agri- cultural College became Michigan State College. Led by presidents such as Kenyon Butter- field and Robert S. Shaw, the college con- tinued to expand. The depression of the thirties didnlt stop the construction of new buildingsg a library, Jenison Fieldhouse, new dormitories and Beaumont Tower. When John A. Hannah became president in 1941, the world was again at war. Special war courses were added, and women tempo- rarily monopolized the campus. Dr. Hannah foresaw the flood of veterans to return when the war was over and the Basic College, with its general education courses, was established in preparation. Between 1940 and 1950, the college enroll- ment doubled. By 1955, there were 16,000 students and 2,000 faculty members. To ac- commodate them, a 325,000,000 construction program was under way. A mammoth new library and many other buildings had sprung up on the sprawling campus. Michigan State had expanded its area of service to include the nation and the world. In 1955, the college celebrated its 100th anniversary with special events and convoca- tions. And the State Legislature finally sanc- tioned the name change to Michigan State University. This university status was the culmination of 100 years of accomplishments. But the university cannot and will not stop here. Pres- ident Hannah looked to past leaders to find guidance for the future when he said of Mich- igan State, 'S . . . May we be granted the wisdom, the courage and the strength to match their deeds as we undertake the unfinished workf' 15
