New MSU research finds that popular music is losing its emotion. The study is the largest of its kind to analyze song lyrics.

MSU's study found that lyrics became less emotional and less socially focused over time. Within artists’ careers, both positive and negative words declined, as did references to family and friends. go.msu.edu/dyx5

Despite Gruff Sparty's popularity, one thing has remained unclear: Where did he come from?

First appearing on campus in the 1950s, ousted in the 1970s and officially trademarked in the 1980s, Gruff has a history filled with mystery.
The vintage \"Gruff Sparty\" logo featuring a Spartan warrior with a stern expression and a green-and-white helmet. Below, on a dark green background, white text reads: \"Gruff Sparty: The lore (and mystery) behind the logo.\"

Though his origin story is unclear, we know this much: Gruff Sparty is a beloved MSU symbol who represents the grit and determination that define what it means to be a Spartan. go.msu.edu/rBx5
