Since 1967, a 250-foot-tall transmission tower has been a fixture on the north end of campus.
The tower was originally built to broadcast The Association for Graduate Education and Research (TAGER) network, a closed-circuit television education system. Created to deliver courses via telecast, TAGER was the brainchild of University co-founder Cecil H. Green.
More than fifty years later, the structure remains a familiar landmark on campus, functioning as a transmission tower for several companies.
