50 Years Ago:
- The State okayed a matching grant of $82,000 towards construction of NMC’s new science building (now Scholars Hall). Besides regular classrooms, the building is to contain two chemistry labs, a physics lab, and a large lecture hall.
25 Years Ago:
- The college built a lighted hiking/cross country ski trail. It was 2.5 kilometers long and 8 ft. wide and went in a loop starting in the woods behind the Oleson Center and ending up at the former tennis courts (now Cherry Lot). Student government contributed $2,000 towards the $10,000 cost.
