The University of Mississippi became the state?s first public institution of higher learning in February 1848. ?Ole Miss,? as the university is colloquially known, derives from the phrase ?Ol Missus.? In his 1999 book, The University of Mississippi: A Sesquicentennial History, historian David G. Sansing describes the term as ?a title domestic slaves in the Old South used to distinguish the mistress of the plantation house from the young misses of the family.?

It's time to change their name to Univ of Mississippi Landsharks!!!

First I don't care one way or another but second they will always be referred to as Ole Mass.

They had that fact on their website for years... sadly people just can't seem to care. I think noone should ever use that term.. and if i hear it. I explain the truth.

They had that on their website for years until 34 and crew pointed it out and they scrubbed it.
