"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.
