The first snowfall on campus during Robert McGee’s first year of college was a new experience for him. The MSU alumnus, who arrived on campus from Virginia in 1954 on a band scholarship, had never seen snow before and had not thought to bring warmer clothing. “I was absolutely frozen to death the first winter, but eventually I got used to it,” he said. McGee, who now lives in Connecticut, said he comes back to campus for Homecoming festivities every year no matter the weather to walk many of the same paths he walked when he was a student living on campus in the 1950s.
