LIVINGSTON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE TO LIVINGSTON UNIVERSITY When this educational institution became Livingston University in April of 1968, it had bestowed upon it at least the seventh name it had borne through the years. Chances are that this one will stick. 1 When it was incorporated in 1840, the school was named Livingston Collegiate Insti- tute. A group of citizens had started a fund to establish a school here in 1835, but nothing is known of its operation before 1840, if indeed it did go into operation before that time. If the school did actually exist before 1840, chances are that it had still another name. At any rate, the Livingston Collegiate Institute, a female academy, swung into action in 1840. In 1883, when the State Legislature authorized the school to begin giving normal instruction to girls desiring to become teachers, the name was Livingston Female Academy. At some point in the first 43 years, the name apparently was changed. Some old diplomas, however, show it as bearing both names: Livingston Collegiate Institute and Livingston Female Academy. When the Legislature authorized normal instruction for future teachers here, it also appropriated $2,500 to finance the venture, a history making act. In 1910, the State assumed active control of the school, which somewhere along the way became Alabama Normal College. In 1919, the State Board of Education was given supervision of all the normal schools in the state. In 1929, the school became State Teachers College, Livingston, and in 1957 the Legislature changed the name to Livingston State College. Finally, in April of 1968, the name in one day went from Livingston State College to Livingston State University to Livingston University. The two-step change was necessary so that the Board of Trustees could first comply with State Legislature action authorizing the State Board of Education to grant the first change at Livingston's request. Following that action, the Livingston trustees, now in full control of the school, were free to name it what they chose. The State was dropped so as to avoid confusion with other institutions with the same set of initials.
