Introduction

History can be written in various styles. An unbroken narrative is one. Another is the segmental approach where history is written by standardized topics. The latter method was chosen for this history allowing the reader to see the evolution of the university by topic while still being able to read its history each year if so desired.

The standardized topics are: (1) Chronology (2) Campus Development, Planning, and Physical Plant (3) Administration and Support Staff (4) Student Body (5) Faculty (6) Curriculum (7) Enrollment (8) Academic Support (9) Sports (10) Major Events and Issues.

The sources employed to write this history are all found in the University Archives. They include: the Campus Digest, official press releases, local newspaper clippings, faculty minutes, Academic Council minutes, President's Cabinet minutes, college catalogs, the Signal, the Legend yearbook, and other pertinent documents.
