History

Founded in 1906 as "The University Weekly", the name was changed in 1920 to "The Arkansas Traveler" after the name of the legend of Sanford Faulkner that was later put to music in the song also titled The Arkansas Traveler. (which was the official state song of Arkansas from 1949 to 1963) [ [http://arkansastraveler.typepad.com/history_of_the_arkansas_t/2006/10/whats_in_a_name.html History of the Arkansas Traveler: ] ]
