Mankato State University: The Second Century: The First Twenty-Five Years, 1968-1992: An Interpretative Essay, Claire E. Faust

MSU Authors Collection

Donald Youel, in Mankato State College - An Interpretative Essay, commented on the development of this institution for its first one hundred years.

Those Barracks Babies, Marcia Baer

MSU Authors Collection

This is a book about how a group of folks, in a time long ago, living in a small Minnesota college town, celebrated life. It is a story of reflection.

What makes these …

MSU Authors Collection

The tactic has been to look at the account from different perspectives: the developing program, the enrollment, students, the state governing board, administration and faculty. Inevitably such a procedure means going over the historic events again. But since there are always many facets to each significant happening …
