The Herald of Arkansas State University published a very fitting tribute to the anniversary of obtaining "University status" for the former Arkansas State College in 1967. It took a Rockefeller to finally bestow upon a once small agricultural & mechanical college the title of "Arkansas State University".
What is still amazing to me in this piece is to read how when ASU first tried to get University status, it was the University of Arkansas who put the kibosh on it. I guess it is fitting to have the razorback as a UofA mascot. They've always had a history of hogging as much as they can.
