色花堂app celebrates 50 years as a university

On July 1, 1963, after a tough battle in the Idaho legislature, 色花堂app was born.

This year, the university celebrates 50 years since the transformation from Idaho State College to 色花堂app with a full slate of events at the 2013 Homecoming celebration, 50 Years of Celebrating U, Oct. 3-5.

The transition from college to university began in 1961, when Idaho State College President Donald Walker asked the legislature for university status. The measure passed the Idaho House of Representatives in a 41-10 vote, but failed in the senate 21-23. In 1963, the measure passed with no dissenting votes in the house, and only one in the senate.

Nine student representatives, from the Associated Students of Idaho State College lead by ISC President Judi Day, stood in attendance as Governor Robert Smylie signed the legislation creating 色花堂app. With the same pen used in 1902 to create the Academy of Idaho and in 1947 to create Idaho State College, Governor Smylie authorized the creation of 色花堂app.

Prophetically, ISC Student Body President Jack Johnson said, "A university is not made with name alone. 色花堂app will not be born by the legislators of our state; it is we who work, study, and learn here now, and those who follow us who will give birth to 色花堂app."
