Facilities Management staff member Woodrow Davis spent much of Thursday installing the first of a dozen new banners along campus roadways. "The People's University," one of MSU's most enduring--and endearing--sobriquets, was the title of vice president John K. Bettersworth's 1978 history of the land-grant institution. Released during the centennial-year celebration, the book was an update of his original "The People's College."
