From the fine folks that brought you the following modern conveniences:
Fiber optics (Robert D. Maurer BS Physics, '48, PhD '51)
Heart pacemakers (John Walter Keller Jr., BSEE ’46; MS Math ‘48; MS Physics ‘50)
Wide-area bar code reader (Several engineering professors)
Variable annuity life insurance (Harold Dulan, E.J. Ball and Lewis Callison)
Fulbright Scholar Program (Senator J. William Fulbright, BA '25)
Modern-day surface and air transportation (Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century [TEA-21] and Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century [AIR-21]) (Rodney Slater, JD '80)
Herbicide (George Templeton, Roy Smith, David TeBeest)
Dillard's Department Stores (William T. Dillard, BA '35)
Discovering the geometry of large molecules (John Pople and Walter Kohn, 1998 Nobel Prize)
Radio City Music Hall (Edward Durell Stone, PhDFA '51)
Discovering Vitamin E (Dr. Barnett Sure)
The Master of Fine arts in Creative Writing degree (William Harrison and James Whitehead)
Genetically engineered rice to feed starving countries (Dr. Marinus C. Kik)
comes a new technological breakthrough. A UA physicist discovered a new magnetic state that will be used to improve battery life and computer memory. This new state will replace the historic combination electronic/magnetic setup currently used with a magnetic-only field.
Do some learnin'
So keep laughing at those "redneck cousin-frickers up among the hills", as long as you thank us every time you turn on a vehicle, change the channel, or use a computer

Print the T-shirts.
I look forward to the next 20 years of Arkansas' innovative ways of not winning a SEC title in football.

Nice of y'all to respond in kind by presenting your own universities' accomplishments
Oh wait, I guess you are with your shitty posts

We don't have inferiority complexes and we don't seek peer acceptance. SMILE!! SMILE!!

We're not seeking acceptance, we already have it
That's assuming you use batteries or the internet or have received a piece of mail in the past few decades

Radio City Music Hall (Edward Durell Stone, PhDFA '51)
When the stock market crashed in 1929, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. held a $91 million, 24-year lease on a piece of midtown Manhattan property properly known as "the speakeasy belt." He decided to build an entire complex of buildings on the property-buildings so superior that they would attract commercial tenants even in a depressed city flooded with vacant rental space.
The search for a commercial partner led to the Radio Corporation of America, a young company whose NBC radio programs were attracting huge audiences and whose RKO studios were producing and distributing popular motion pictures that offered welcome diversion in hard times. Rockefeller's financial power and RCA's media might were joined by the unusual talents of impresario S.L. "Roxy" Rothafel.
Since 1933 more than 700 movies have opened here. They include the original King Kong; National Velvet, the film that secured Elizabeth Taylor's hold on the silver screen; White Christmas; Mame; Breakfast at Tiffany's; To Kill a Mockingbird, starring former Radio City usher, Gregory Peck; Mary Poppins; 101 Dalmatians; and The Lion King.

Uhh, Stone was the architect dumbass. He dropped out of UA to go work for an architecture firm on the east coast
He was later awarded an honorary degree (PhDFA) in '51

You don't think little 'ol Arky hasn't had some seriously corrupt leaders in it's past?
