Article explaining the origins of the name.
Attempt to revise history much?
Read the comments below your article. They even point out that the 1897 UM Annual was named "Ole Miss." And, the person that came up with the name explains 'where' she got the name.
Ergo, the train took the name from the Annual ... that took the name from the language of the ante-bellum “Darkey”, who knew the wife of his owner by no other title than “Ole Miss.”
Nice try though. Go read this that was published in
Higher Ed
Sub title ... The University of Mississippi wants to stop going by its nickname and improve campus race relations. Students are not happy.
