ASU Tour

After the summer semester has started across the nation in Universities and Colleges. I hope every one achieves high marks and exceeds there expectation's and goal's of the following day's to come.

Here are some pictures of my favorite college - Arizona State University.

For close to a hundred years, a letter has stood on Tempe Butte but it wasn’t always “A.” The first letter on Tempe Butte was a 36-foot tall “N” in 1918, which stood for Tempe Normal School. When the school changed its name to Tempe State Teachers College in 1925, the letter was changed to “T”. Three years later, the school became known as Arizona State Teachers College but the letter was not changed to “A” until 1938, where it stood until a bomb blast destroyed the letter in 1952. The present “A” was built using reinforced steel and concrete in 1955 and measures 60-feet tall. Learn more about the history of "A" Mountain.

Whitewashing “A” Mountain
It began in the 1930s as part of Orientation and continues to this day as an annual tradition where the freshman class hikes "A" Mountain and whitewashes the coveted letter white during Welcome Week, indicating the commencement of another year at Arizona State University.
