Bemidji State University History Featured in New Exhibit

Bemidji State University in Minnesota has been celebrating its centennial and the institution's history is featured a new exhibit. 

Lakeland PBS posted "Beltrami County Historical Society Unveils New Bemidji State University Exhibit" that includes video coverage from the opening.  The exhibit features artifacts, vintage BSU apparel, old pins, and course catalogues.

The institution was established as Bemidji State Normal School.  The name changed to Bemidji State Teachers College in 1921, to Bemidji State College in 1957, and to Bemidji State University in 1976.
The centennial web pages offer a timeline of milestones and a variety of other resources that include a video on Vimeo that provides an overview of institutional history, "Bemidji State University: Celebrating our Centennial.".
