Austin Peay State University Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Austin Peay State University is an accredited public university located in Clarksville, Tennessee, and operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents. This was done, and the institution was renamed in honor of former governor Austin Peay who had died in office in 1927, which many attributed at least in part to stress due to his battles with the state legislature over education issues. The school thus began with the formal name of Austin Peay State Normal School for Rural White Teachers. Racial desegregation, among other factors, led to a name change to Austin Peay State College, and the institution was granted university status in 1967. The site of Austin Peay State University has also been the site of Clarksville’s first educational institutions, Rural Academy (1806-1810) and Mount Pleasant Academy (1811-1824). All Hail To Austin Peay All Hail our Alma Mater, All Hail to Austin Peay, Forever faithful to thy standards will we ever be, We love thy campus beauty, serene in dignity, And so we proudly sing this song in praise of thee, All Hail, All Hail, We sing in praise of thee, We love our Alma Mater, All Hail to Austin Peay.
