Attempting
to
meet
housing
needs
, in
1946
Congress
gave
$78
million
to
move
buildings
from
military
bases
to
college
campuses
.
Middle
Tennessee
State
College
also
received
federal
funds
to
erect
small

.
Later
, not

veterans
but
anyone
could
live
in the
apartments
and

that
made
up
Vet
Village
as

a
city
within
the
campus
;
it
had a

house

store
, and
even
a
