Central Missouri State University started in 1871 as State Normal School, District #2. The name was later changed to Central Missouri State Teachers College in 1919, Central Missouri State College in 1946 and finally to Central Missouri State Univerisity in 1971. In 1965, the institution established a graduate school. The institution is currently considering a name change. In 2005, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt signed into law a provision that would authorize CMSU to change its name, if so desired, to The University of Central Missouri. Discussions are ongoing as to whether or not to go ahead with the option. 1871 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ...

In the late 60's and early 70's men and women were treated differently as far as dormitory living was concerned. Men had no 'curfew' and could come and go from their dorm as they pleased. Women were required to sign 'in and out' of the dorm and were subject to night curfews. At that time, fraternities and sororities did not have their own 'houses'. Separate dormitories housed all fraternities and sororities.
