  • Old Main North Elevation (Reconstruction)

    This is a reconstructed drawing of the north elevation of the Old Main building, drawn by Ypsilanti architect E.P. Rorison in the late 19th century. While not confirmed, this drawing was likely displayed in the Michigan State Normal School's exhibit at the 1893 Columbian Exposition.

  • Old Main South Elevation (reconstruction)

    This is a reconstructed drawing of the south elevation of the Old Main building, drawn by Ypsilanti architect E.P. Rorison in the late 19th century. While not confirmed, this drawing was likely displayed in the Michigan State Normal School's exhibit at the 1893 Columbian Exposition.

  • Table II - MSNS enrollment records 1854-1893

    Unfortunately we have not been able to locate the four charts displayed in Chicago. However, in his 1893 report to the State Board of Education, Principal Sill reproduced this chart “prepared for the Columbian Exposition with laborious care by Professor Austin George.”
