Mississippi State now officially serves as host to a presidential library and is one of only five universities in the nation to share such a distinction. Ulysses S. Grant Association President Frank J. Williams, seated left, formally announced the decision of the organization's board of directors to designate the Ulysses S. Grant Collection at MSU's Mitchell Memorial Library as the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library. The announcement came during the association's annual meeting, which took place on campus this past weekend as part of the organization's 50th anniversary observance. Pictured are John F.
