    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.

    Getting the Grant Presidential Library was a huge coup for MSU. It has had and will continue to have a major impact on the whole university, not just the library and history department. This really adds to that impact.

    Mr. Williams was big in the Grant Society. That's how he came in contact with MSU.

    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....

    2006 Pre-law society or club making him Jurist of the year, couple of years later invited him to give the commencement speech. BOOM! We have some people at MSU with long term thinking!

    You're so right Mimi, math and science are indispensable. History is so important, for us to learn from our mistakes and not make them again.

    I think if smart thinking is in place, we would pursue the Jefferson Davis archives for our Library. This would make MSU's library the preeminent source for Civil War history!

    taken from a sports chat site i frequent

    "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
