Hi fellow Wikipedians,

I wanted to generate discussion about a modification in this article I am planning before I do it. Most notably, I would like to change the narrative that President Hannah "... transformed a little known agricultural college into ..." This is a popular, much repeated falsehood that is wrong on both counts: 1. the school was not little known when Hannah took over in 1941; then as now, the then MSC was considered the Pioneer Land Grant college and among the best of them (if not the best) and was growing in regional/national stature as a more general college, and 2. it was not an "agricultural college" even if some/a number of people perceived it as much. In fact the Liberal Arts division of the college was by far the largest and Engineering far eclipsed agriculture at this point. Check Madison Kuhn's definitive university history: "Michigan State: the First Hundred Years" (published 1955) for confirmation... The more correct characterization is noted in the University's website and on its history of the Library, among others, to wit: the school transformed from a regionally-known undergraduate institution. Let us know you guys' thoughts. Cheers, --Pulley12 (talk) 20:21, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
