History The original and now flagship campus was established in Fayetteville as Arkansas Industrial University in 1871 under the 1862 Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act. The system now includes both of the state's land-grant colleges, as UAPB was later designated as such under the 1890 Morrill Act; it left the system in 1927, but returned in 1972. The Division of Agriculture and UAM's forestry programs also contribute to the system's land-grant mission. The Morrill Land-Grant Acts are United States statutes that allowed for the creation of land-grant colleges. ...
Though the University of Arkansas System as an organized educational alliance (system) could be said to date from the founding of UAPB (1873) or perhaps UAMS' joining the system (1911), it was not commonly referred to as a 'System' until after the merger of equals with Little Rock University in 1969 (now UALR) and UAM (1971), and with the return of UAPB (1972). In 1975, a University of Arkansas Board of Trustees policy officially adopted "University of Arkansas System" as an alternative name for the 'System' overall, along with the present names of the campuses; it has been amended over the years as other campuses were added.
