It is amazing. It is very cool that our university would be given the honor of maintaining the history and legacy of President Lincoln and President Grant. It is humorous that our university is trusted with this while the other university is where "Old Times aren't forgotten".
There aren't many presidential libraries on university campuses, I wonder if UM will try to get the Jefferson Davis Presidential library to compete with us.
MSU is Mississippi’s leading university, available online at www.msstate.edu.
I like the last line in that story too!
As a history major - this is the type gift that can really have huge impacts on a program. We are really building in a lot of academic areas that we used to almost ignore.
Wonder when the Nathan Bedford Forrest exhibit opens in the grove?
Thank Heavens we have progressive leadership at OUR University and aren't stuck in the 1800's like the idiots up north.
this is big folks, real big. did I miss anything in the write up defining how the hell we pulled this off? this is extraordinary.
I don't think we have to guess as to why Mr. Williams didn't pick TSUN. LMAO
This gift from the Williams' is a huge gift for the History Teachers in the area. NOW, if the Teachers will use the gift to benefits our children. The 11th graders are required to pass a US History Test.... The gift given would help these children to see what they are being taught....
Now THIS, "Is a Good Thing."

That library is already in Biloxi.
"It's a sophisticated ploy by a Yankee bastard. Make those fools at Miss St taunt them Rebs with their Grant and Lincoln colections.. Motivating the Rebs to gather John Brown, Fredrick Douglas, W T Sherman, Josh Chamberlain artifacts and turn Mississippi into a Yankee strong hold.. They'll be selling Bumper Stickers before long"
this made me laugh
Winning for us and sux for fredo.
