Old Main is the oldest building on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the University (especially to alumni and residents of the state of Arkansas), and of higher education in general in Arkansas.HistoryOld Main was constructed between 1873 and 1875 as part of a land grant for the state of Arkansas. At this time it was known as University Hall. It was designed by Chicago architect John Mills Van Osdel, and construction was carried out by William Mayes of the firm of Mayes and Oliver. G. N. Wright was one of the contractors. In 1873, the University of Arkansas purchased Van Osdel's plans for the University Hall at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (demolished in 1938) and erected an identical structure.The contract to construct the Hall was signed by the superintendent of public instruction, Joseph Carter Corbin, who was the highest elected African American official in Arkansas during Reconstruction.Most of the building materials used in Old Main came from local areas, because the nearest river port was 60 miles away and the nearest railroad was 150 miles away. 136 miles of lumber came by oxen-drawn wagons from the Peter Van Winkle Sawmill near historic War Eagle Mill in Benton County. The red exterior bricks were made from clay dug on campus and fired in kilns built west of Old Main. The brown sandstone used for the foundation and basement was also quarried from near the building site. The five-story building contained 2,600,000 bricks when originally constructed.
Vol Walker Hall is a building on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It contains the Fay Jones School of Architecture. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.EponymThe University of Arkansas Board of Trustees changed the name to honor James Volney "Vol" Walker in the spring of 1934. An 1877 University of Arkansas alumnus, respected lawyer, and member of the Arkansas legislature, Walker was instrumental in keeping the University in Fayetteville despite efforts to move it.HistoryVol Walker Hall was born when University President John C. Futrall decided to utilized Public Works Administration funds available to the University of Arkansas to build a new library. Planning for the new library (and also a new science building) began in March 1931. A similar library at the University of Rochester was used as a blueprint, and eventually Futrall brought in the original designers of the Rochester library, Gordon and Kaehler.The hall contained the University library from 1935 until 1968, when it was supplanted by Mullins Library. It was at this time that the name was changed to Vol Walker Hall.ExpansionA three-year renovation and expansion of Walker Hall was completed in 2014, culminating in the new Steven L. Anderson Design Center being attached to the historic structure. The design center added 37000sqft of studio, faculty, and classroom space and allows the Fay Jones School of Architecture to be entirely housed under one roof for the first time. Designed by the School of Architecture's Distinguished Professor Marlon Blackwell, the expansion has received several awards in the architecture community, including the 2014 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Gulf States Honor Award and Architects Newspaper's Building of the Year.

The Department is accredited through the Graduate School of the University of Arkansas by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Students can enter the program in Plant Pathology from many areas of study but a background in biological sciences is very helpful. Understanding the nature and control of plant diseases that affect our lives is the central mission of the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Arkansas. It strives to maintain a balanced inventory of programs in both basic and applied research. The Department of Plant Pathology conducts research, extension, teaching and service focused on understanding and controlling plant diseases. The Department Faculty focus on disease management in crops, fungal plant pathogen biology, host/pathogen genetics, molecular host-pathogen interactions, nematology, virology, plant bacterial pathogens, and biological control. The Department is dedicated to educating the next generation of agricultural scientists as well as the general public and agriculture industry about plant diseases and appropriate management methods that balance environmental and economic concerns. Our programs are actively supported by federal, state, and private sources - providing a stimulating atmosphere for student achievement and professional reward.
The Department of History at the University of Arkansas has been host to many a first. Phi Alpha Theta, the largest college honor society devoted to a single discipline with 820 chapters in the U.S. and three other countries, was founded on the University of Arkansas campus on March 17, 1921. In addition, department alumni are to be found in most every remunerative profession, at least all the respectable ones. Many teach history at the college or high school level. Some, like Elizabeth Jacoway, Nan Woodruff, Ralph Turner, Bobby Lovett, C. Calvin Smith, and Charles King, are well-known and widely published scholars. Many others have distinguished themselves in fields outside academe. Two, J. William Fulbright (BA 1925) and Mark Pryor (BA 1985), have represented Arkansas in the United State Senate, Senator Pryor telling us “I use the education I received at the University of Arkansas Department of History every day.” A considerable number are attorneys. A few became judges, including Henry Woods, Steele Hays, and Morris Arnold. Another, Martin R. Steele (BA 1974), has served his country as a top-ranking general in the U.S. Marine Corps. We also count as proud products of our department bankers, medical doctors, librarians, journalists, museum directors, poets, park rangers, software entrepreneurs, helicopter pilots, cheerleaders, the mayor of Fort Smith, and a gadfly whose letters to the editor are unusually well-informed.
