Description

Originally established March 30, 1910, as Mississippi Normal College, The University of Southern Mississippi used to be built on 120 acres of cutover timber land and created to provide training for public school teachers. Chester M. Morgan outlines the evolution of the institution and tells the story of a gracious heritage born of adversity and nurtured by a century of perseverance and determination. From the success of its graduates and the passion of its faculty to its ability to meet and conquer challenges brought by scarce state funding, world wars, social movements, and natural disasters, the writer captures the persistent spirit and strength that may be the unchanging force at the back of the university’s success.

Following the institution’s transition from Mississippi Normal College (1912-1924), to State Teachers College (1924-1940), to Mississippi Southern College (1940-1962), to its current designation as The University of Southern Mississippi (1962-present), the story captures each and every element and facet of campus life. From academics and arts to athletics and administration, the writer presents a wealthy and varied take a look at how Southern Miss became the brand new comprehensive university it’s as of late.
