Minnesota State University Moorhead was established in 1887 as the Moorhead Normal School. In its first year, President Livingston Lord presided over five faculty members and a class of 29 students. Tuition was free to all students promising to teach two years in Minnesota. More than 130 years and four name changes later, MSU Moorhead continues to ignite change through the power of education.
