Name Changes |
|
|
| |
- Agricultural College of the State of Michigan (1855) - This was the name by
which the 1855 legislation referred to the nascent college.
- State Agricultural College (1861) - After a massive reorganization in 1861, the name was changed to something less unwieldy.
- Michigan Agricultural College (1909). By 1909 there were many agricultural
colleges in the US. The name was changed to M.A.C. to remove ambiguity about what state the college was in.
- Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science (1925). M.A.C. wanted
to remove the word "agriculture" from its name, but the University of Michigan opposed the name change. This name was created as a compromise, but M.S.C.
rarely used the "Agriculture and Applied Science" part of its name.
- Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science (1955) On its
hundredth anniversary, M.S.C. became a university, but wasn't allowed to remove its "agriculture" moniker.
- Michigan State University (1964). With the Michigan Constitution of 1964, M.S.U. finally dropped the words
"Agriculture and Applied Science" from its name.
