I was perusing the archives at Time for articles related to ASU and found this fossil from 1940: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,763741,00.html


This week was a proud one for old Blanford Dougherty. One day Congressman Robert ("Old Muley") Doughton and many another bigwig arrived at Boone to help him dedicate a new $150,000 science building. They praised a still greater Dougherty achievement: a system of State support for its public schools that is the envy of every other State in the Union (except tiny Delaware, which has a similar system).

A tenuous connection to be sure, but an interesting historical tidbit. xthumbsupx
