University of Mississippi (University of Mississippi)

The University of Mississippi, byname Ole Miss, is a public research university in Oxford, Mississippi. Including its medical center in Jackson, the University of Mississippi is the state's largest university by enrollment and is considered Mississippi's flagship university. The university was chartered by the Mississippi Legislature on February 24, 1844, and four years later admitted its first enrollment of 80 students. It operated as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War and narrowly escaped destruction by Ulysses S. Grant's forces. It was a center of activity during the civil rights movement when a riot erupted in 1962 prior to the integration of the university by James Meredith. The university has since taken measures to rebrand its image. Ole Miss is closely associated with writer William Faulkner, operating his home Rowan Oak and hosting an annual conference.
