The University of Alaska Fairbanks is the second largest campus of the University of Alaska System, and is abbreviated as UAF. UAF was established in 1917 as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, first opening for classes in 1922. The University of Alaska Museum of the North is also on the Fairbanks campus. The University of Alaska was established in 1917 as a college, but its origins lie in the creation in 1906 of a federal agricultural experiment station in Fairbanks, the sixth in Alaska. The new institution was established as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in 1922, offering 16 classes to a student body of six (at a ratio of one faculty member per student). In 1931, the rest of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station was transferred to the college, and the Alaska Territorial Legislature changed the name in 1935 to the University of Alaska. As the university began to expand throughout the state, the Fairbanks campus became known as the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1975; the two other primary UA institutions are the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau. The Alaska Constitutional Convention was held on the university campus in November 1955. University of Alaska Fairbanks sports teams are the Alaska Nanooks, derived from the Inupiaq “nanuq.” There are several book publishers at UAF, including the University of Alaska Press, the Alaska Native Language Center, Alaska Sea Grant, the University of Alaska Museum of the North, Cooperative Extension Service, and the Alaska Native Knowledge Network.
