Theres Nothing Like a CMU Sunset, photo by brandonjb.
This photo from a Central Michigan Chippewas football game is part of Brandon’s The Life and Times At CMU set.
Central Michigan University is located in Mt. Pleasant and their CMU History page says:
Central opened its doors in 1892 as the Central Michigan Normal School and Business Institute. At that time, few of the state’s teachers received any formal training in teaching. School founders made teacher training their mission in founding the state’s second normal school.
Thirty-one students attended classes in second-floor rooms over an office on the corner of Main and Michigan streets in downtown Mount Pleasant. Most students at the time were eighth-grade graduates, attending the “Normal” for a few weeks or months prior to beginning their careers as teachers. Within the first two years, land was acquired and a $10,000 Normal School Building was constructed where Warriner Hall now stands.
In their virtual photo & video tours they have a photo of Kelly/Shorts Stadium and you can at a ton of information on the CMU Chippewas at cmuchippewas.com.
