Applied Science to Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science met in Lansing 
on March 1? in an atmosphere of cordiality and good will. 

"The chairman, Mr. Mueller, outlined the many reasons why the change In name is being sought 
and why the specific name of Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science has been 
recommended.  His statement may be summarized as follows: 

"1.  Michigan State College has long since attained the status of a university in its academic • 

program, faculty and facilities. 

"2.  Students, alumni and the Institution itself are handicapped in many ways by the current 

misnomer.
