THE UNIVERSITY'S OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY

In 1955, the Alumni Association designated March 30 as Mississippi Southern College Day. The day was to be observed wherever former students resided, and its purpose was “to build up a little more custom and tradition concerning the college.” The day, since renamed Founders’ Day, has been observed in some fashion ever since.
