Memphis State Magazine, 12:03, 1993 Fall

Annual Report of the President. On the cover: A traditional symbol of leadership and authority, Memphis State University\u27s mace is displayed only at formal academic events. The silver disks on its bronze head depict the history of MSU from its inception in 1912 to its present status. Earlier this year, the Tennessee Board of Regents approved changing the institution\u27s name to The University of Memphis. If the name change is approved by the legislature, a disk on the mace will be inscribed next year.
