A cutout of what appears to be a Spartan holding a hammer and a dead rodent is staged in front of an East Lansing house homecoming weekend 1948. According to bigten.org, Michigan State College (now MSU) would be added to the Big Ten Conference the following year.
MSU's 100th Homecoming football game takes place this weekend when the Spartans take on Purdue. These archival photos were featured in The State News print edition and are courtesy of the MSU Archives and Historical Collections. The pictures, ranging from 1921 to 1955, show how much has changed and the traditions that will always stay the same at MSU since its first Homecoming game in 1915.
