After a brief absence, the traditional class ring has returned to campus.

The official ring displays deep-molded busts of Stephen D. Lee, the school's first president, on one side and the original bulldog mascot on the other. The graduation year appears above the Lee bust and the academic degree letters above the bulldog.

Alumni and students wishing to purchase the class ring may contact the Alumni Association at 662-325-2434, the Mississippi State Bookstore at 662-325-1576, or L. G. Balfour, the ring manufacturer, at 800-BALFOUR.

The official class ring was first designed in 1935.
