Scope and Content Note

(A92-62; A05-59)
This Record Sub-Group contains materials relating to the 1989 celebration of the University of Missouri's Sesquicentennial. This Sub-Group includes documents pertaining to the planning of the events, such as committee and subcommittee records. Project and grant applications for special funding, photos, memorabilia, and items created especially for the events, such as a medallion given to the graduating class of 1989, a scarf (bandana) designed by Frankie Welch, logo stickers, a bumper sticker, and a large banner bearing the Sesquicentennial logo, are also included in the Sub-Group. A video tape "Light the Way to 1989" (Jesse Hall Dome lighting) and an audio cassette tape of a performance by "The Shelter Insurance Sesquicentennial Singers," are representative of the recorded events contained within this Sub-Group. A reproduction of "A Bill, To Select A Site For The State University" (original in Record Group 0 C, Sub-Group 12, Series 7), a poster of the Francis Quadrangle Columns and Jesse Hall at night, a sesquicentennial calendar, newspaper and magazine clippings, programs of events, and information on a data base for the genealogy of the University of Missouri's founding families and original donors are all among the items in this Sub-Group.
