Southern Arkansas University was founded in 1909 by an act of the Arkansas Legislature as a district agricultural high school for southwest Arkansas. It was originally known as the Third District Agricultural School, or “TDAS” to students and faculty. Its first term began in January 1911, with only secondary school subjects on the curriculum. The school was authorized by the State Legislature in 1925 to add two years of college work and change its name to Agricultural and Mechanical College, Third District (Magnolia A&M). The school continued to offer both high school and junior college courses until 1937, when the high school courses were phased out.
