Here is a museum for them that not many people in Starkville know about.

Watching the game also. They did have an interesting stat though... South Carolina avgs over 12,000 for men and women's games. That's impressive

[Bully13]

Espn has that Ole Miss dude running something up there, no?

[Bothrops]

I bet most Starkville people don't even know about the clock museum.

It's impressive, but considering the county Columbia is in has a population of nearly 400K and Oktibbeha County has about 50K, what's more impressive is the crowds MSU can have when we are winning.

I've been there but had forgotten about it. Pretty neat place.

Isn't there also another museum of anthropology or archaeology somewhere on campus? I seem to remember visiting there some years ago. Maybe it's part of the clock museum.

Yes, it's in the basement of the Cobb Institute of Archaeology. Across the street we also have the Dunn-Seiler Paleontology Museum, on the 1st floor of the Dept. of Geosciences.

You have the Entemology Museum on campus. Behind Sorority Row.

Yep, in the Clay Lyle Building...which is also home to one of the best analytical microscopy centers in the Southeast.

Maybe this thread should be sent to the SEC Network talking heads.

They could make a museum with all the different aircraft that have been fabricated and tested at Raspet Research Lab over the years. Some pretty cutting edge stuff has come out there.

Why were they talking about Starkville? Did they just start trashing us out of the blue?

Mother was born and raised on campus, back when some professors lived on the South side of campus. Grandfather was a staff member for the VP back when the Wise Center was built and cranked up. I can tell you some surprising stuff about just about any nook and cranny there.

Nice. I can remember being a freshmen and telling people I worked for the state entomologist out at the North Farm...and man that would get some blank stares haha

I did a ton of SEM work in the building, is how I know about it.

Also, something I found ****ing awesome the first time I toured the place....the guy who does all the zoological illustrations has all his insect sketches up on his office walls (really cool to see), along with an original, 'mint', Joker poster...Love it.

Not as impressive but MSU had a Oenology major (wine) in the EARLY 70’s....long before the rest of the country learned to swish the wine and sniff the flavor.....

Yupp. Every 4 years, I believe, there is a wine tasting course offered that is HARD AS HELL to find. You have to know the right people to get into that class. Also have to have a permanent DD.

Cobb institute.

And if Starkville is a burdensome you, oh well. Those of us lucky enough to have been raised and educated here know a truth. You can keep your town. I wouldn't choose anywhere else.

Ya'll come and see us when you can.

[RocketDawg]

I guess technically, none of the museums mentioned is in Starkville.

Are you sure it was in the early 70s? Were't all forms of alcohol except beer illegal statewide then?

Don't know who the "state entomologist" was, but knew a Dr Laster there along with one of the USDA guys at Stoneville.

That's a damn shame. The original Hondajet prototype (which was built at MSU) was the first all composite jet ever flown, if I'm not mistaken. Honda took what they learned at MSU, and are now making the Hondajet busines jet at the Greensboro, NC factory.

I got into that class in my final semester in '94. My advisor told me I hit the lottery. Also told me I had one if the best schedules he had ever seen - a history class, a philosophy class, an archeology class, wine appreciation, and golf.

I got to help build parts and assemble it when I was a student worker out there.

Not if you like history, mechanical engineering, antiques, or grandfather clocks.

Students should chant "We Have Mu-seums."( clap clap- clap clap)***

That will set them straight.Or maybe just get them a list of museums to make the m apologize on the air.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Thought I would type in "Entomology" in google and see if the MSU Dept. of Entomology and Plant Pathology would show up. Well, on page 1 of the google search TX A&M's Department showed up. Over the next 8 pages a dozen universities showed up. MSU didn't appear until page 10. Maybe not a big deal or it may be a symptom of poor PR work for the university. Like the museum thing.

[MarketingBully]

U.S. Grant Presidential Library in the Mitchell Memorial Library is somewhat of a museum.

A new museum is being built for the grant library right now. That's what the Library construction is for. The little exhibit space downstairs is just to show some things off until the Museum opens.

There are a bunch of museums on campus BTW: http://www.msstate.edu/visitors/galleries-and-museums/

[Jack Lambert]

Maybe one of the students should show them the Presidential Library. How many college campus's have one?

[Saltydog]

south that has a statue of the youngest Confederate general in the Civil War (Stephen D. Lee)? Always found that somewhat ironic. Is there some connection between Grant and Starkville?

[RocketDawg]

Don't know, but Texas A&M has the library for the first Bush. It's pretty elaborate. Not sure if Clinton's is at U. Ark or somewhere else.

Just another jab at our insurrection loving neighbors to the north***

Yeah. A&M has a little bigger department. Our's is small outside of the "applied" entomology (i.e. Row crop entomology). Maybe one day I'll hit it big and can donate some money to the whole department. Haha

[RocketDawg]

You must be including students and most of West Point......

According to census.gov, the 2015 estimated populations for Oktibehha County was 49,800 ... pretty close to 50K. Not very large, but not tiny either. The actual population in 2010 was 47,671.

Grant and Lee were fought against each other after the fall of Vicksburg. They became good friends after the war. Also Lee founded Vicksburg Military park.

I believe Dr. John Marsalek (spelling?), MSU professor, or used to be, has written Civil War books and is an expert. He was offered the chance to get the collection and MSU went for it and got it.

Are you sure about all of this Jack? I ain't too sure about it myself. I've studied a good bit on it too. Got a library on the Civil War in my house. Not saying I know everything about it tho.

If you could point me to where you found these things out, I sure would be interested in reading about it. Seriously ... not mocking you or anything like that.

It is actually quite bizarre that his library is at State, the South lost the war and now is obliged to accsept the trappings of the conquerer...Grant retired to his farm outside of St. Louis, his stuff would be more appropriately located there....there was in the 80's a huge and cool painting of Nathan B. Forrest hanging in the library....it has been removed for PC reasons

You,obviously, have a right to your opinion, as I do

[Crucifictorious]

Jack is close. Stephen D. Lee and Grant's oldest son Fred became good friends and worked together to found and preserve the Vicksburg Battlefield.

[Crucifictorious]

Grant didn't retire to his farm in St. Louis. He moved to New York City and died in the mountains in upstate New York.

[MagicDawg]

Why do we have the Grant library? One word: Marszalek.

With that and Google, you will discover yet another reason that Mississippi State stands above others not only in the state and region, but nationally.

You are correct....I recently visited his pathetic farm outside St. Louis...he was a parhetuc human who was once a slave owner which you cannot say about the vast majority of soldiers who fought for the south...he has no place at MSU

Marszalek was great. His Civil War class was interesting because he spent a great deal of time on the Western Theatre of the war. Nice change from the typical focus on Virginia. Having grown up with Kennesaw Mtn. Battlefield as my backyard, I thought I knew a lot. He showed me I didn't.

Are you trolling or what, dude?

[Crucifictorious]

Bless your heart. Yes he was a slave owner but he freed the one slave he owned two years before the Civil War started. And while many soldiers weren't slave owners nearly every southern officer was. And that pathetic human whipped Bobby Lee's ass.

Well, 'Ole Nate' was actually headquartered in Starkville before the Battle of Ellis Bridge (Battle of West Point). Grant never came through here.
