Product Description
Illustrated with 200 vintage photographs, references, index
, Michigan State College: John Hannah and the Creation of a World University, 1926 1969 is the second volume in the 3 volume Sesquicentennial history of Michigan State University. Preceded by Michigan Agricultural College: The Evolution of a Land-Grant Philosophy, 1855 1925, this second volume explores the Hannah years.
Today, Michigan State University cannot be separated from the enormous influence of one man, John Hannah, who steered its growth, academic programs, influence, and international prestige. During his tenure as Michigan State College and Michigan State University president, the land-grant institution grew from an enrollment of just over 6,000 to just under 40,000. This dramatic increase necessitated an extensive building program. The curriculum was also upgraded and modified. In 1944, the Basic College, a national prototype, was established to provide instruction to incoming students. Other innovations included Adult Education (1951), the International Program (1950s), MSU Oakland University (1959), and the creation of a medical program (1960s). As the twelfth president of Michigan State University, John Alfred Hannah served from 1941 to 1969. His tenure was characterized by the unparalleled growth of the university, in the size of the campus, enrollments, political controversy, and achievements.
