Vision.
Built from the vision of
a few, realized from the vision of many... Marshall University has evolved
through the years. The evolution will continue into the new millennium and
beyond because of vision. A university cannot exist without vision. With
vision comes change. With change comes the opportunity for growth. With
growth, Marshall's impact will 
continue
to be felt locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

One of the last Beech trees remaining on campus, tradition has it that a grove of beech trees once existed on campus. The most historic was the Old Beech Tree which stood outside of Old Main. It was reported to be eleven feet in circumference, seventy feet high, and over 300 years old. The word "beech" in Anglo-Saxon means "book" and in Marshall tradition it symbolizes the "book of life" which represents the growth of Marshall from academy to university.

March '97 came in like a lion with massive flooding across Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Campus was spared from the ravages of the Ohio River thanks to the flood wall, but many students and employees in the regions lost their homes and their possessions.
