MC 1437: University of Arkansas Baseball PhotographsThe University of Arkansas was created through the Morrill Act of 1862 which provided means for states to establish universities for the purpose of teaching agricultural and mechanical arts. In 1871, Arkansas passed legislation to enable the realization of this act and created Arkansas Industrial University. The collection contains nine black and white picture postcards of the University of Arkansas baseball team members-Baber, Black, Cypert, Highfill, Norcutt, Shackelin, Thomas, Wood, a coach-Hugo Bezdek, and one picture taken during the game with St. Louis, May 1911.
