And where overalls and flannel shirts are accepted as "evening wear".

And the fallback plan for those not accepted to THE University of Virginia (smirk, wink, wink).

Or the other way around as in my case - once my acceptance letter from VT arrived I blew off my early acceptance to UVa.

Oh yea, I know who you are! I won almost $1000 playing poker with you in Milan!

"The disposition of the money derived from the Morrill Land Grant Act passed by Congress in 1862 led to the founding of Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College."

1851 "Olin & Preston Institute"
1869 Rechartered "Preston and Olin Institute"
1872 Established as "Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College"
1896 Renamed "Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute" - shortened to Virginia Polytechnic Institute
1971 Renamed "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University". Official name to date.

Just in case you wanted to know. Or not.
