Title	Morehead State Teachers College.
Description	Campus of Morehead State Teachers College (now Morehead State University), in Morehead, Kentucky. Twelve buildings are identified, and the view takes in the forested mountains in the background. Morehead State was called Morehead Normal School went it opened in 1887, and became a state college in 1923. In 1948 it changed its name to Morehead State College, and it was renamed again in 1966, when it became a university. Printed text on verso reads: "Morehead, Kentucky, is on the C&O Railroad and the Midland Trail (US 60), midway between Lexington and Ashland. Morehead State Teachers College has a setting of rare natural beauty. The modern Tudor-Gothic buildings follow a wide arc at the foot of a wooded mountain, their terraced lawns facing a broad boulevard which extends from Science Hall at one end of the campus to the level athletic field at the other. In the surrounding Cumberland National Forest the scenery is inspiring. The climate is mild and pleasant, with unusually cool summer nights." Postmarked 1947 on verso.
