Missouri Western State College actively follows a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in regard to all employment practices and to student financial aid, recruitment, admission, housing, and retention of students as required by Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. Missouri Western State College actively follows a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of physical or mental handicap as set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

To M. O. Looney, president of Missouri Western State College 196783, this book is dedicated. Without his vision, his drive, his tenacity, and his leadership, Missouri Western would not have achieved its present stature as a vibrant institution serving students, the community, and the state.

It is with great appreciation that this history of the college is presented.

Dr. M. O. Looney, president of Missouri Western State College 1967-83
