Act 100 turns 100

Here are a couple of pictures from the Act 100 reception tonight at the Governor's Mansion. Act 100 of 1909 created four agriculture schools, one in each of the then Arkansas congressional districts. The schools are now Arkansas State University, Arkansas Tech University, Southern Arkansas University, and the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Governor Beebe will re-enact the signing of Act 100 at the Capitol tomorrow. I had to get back and log the five miles I avoided this morning before it hits the freezing mark tonight.
