| Special note | Heading valid 1870-1877 and after 1964 LSU System estab. Feb. 6, 1965, includes campuses in Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Eunice, New Orleans, and Shreveport. Although official name of main campus in Baton Rouge remains "Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College," prevailing usage in publications since the system's foundation has been to deemphasize the last five words via typography, or to leave them off entirely. In effect, this constitutes a resumption of the name "Louisiana State University." Previously established AACR2 hdg., "Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge," used same cutoff date. |
