A brief history of Ypsilanti's very own Eastern Michigan University.
The Ypsilanti based university was founded in 1849 and continued its developmental construction until opening its doors in 1853. At this point in time the school was named the Michigan State Normal School. The original student roster took host to 122 students at the beginning of class on March 29, 1853. An interesting fact was that these so called normal schools were established not for students to become business men or women or to become artist or computer tecs.
