Timbrook traces early MSU history

The North Dakota State Normal School at Minot opened its doors to the public in 1913. Historian Mark Timbrook will trace the earliest years of the institution that would become Minot State University in a Northwest Art Center lecture Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. in Aleshire Theater.



“MSU: The First Ten Years,” will examine the forces and personalities that carried the Minot Normal School from concept to reality. His presentation will highlight the conditions and events that shaped the early school and the people that developed and personified its mission, “Service First.”



“The political, legal, and social resistance encountered in the formal acquisition of the school, and its later construction, were formidable,” Timbrook said.



Timbrook is a course design and technology specialist and adjunct history instructor at MSU, and he has been an active member of the Ward County Historical Society. He received his bachelor’s degree in history from Minot State and his master’s degree from Norwich University, Vermont College. His areas of focus are early American history and the impact of disease (specifically smallpox) on early American populations.



He has published three books, “The Last Hurrah,” “Inculpatory Evidence” and “Minot State University,” a pictorial history, which will be available for purchase at the presentation. All proceeds go to the Dr. N.M. Lillehaugen Scholarship at MSU.



The lecture is free and open to the public. An informal reception will follow the presentation.
