Interesting read. Also read his two previous articles. So...
1896 - Elma Meek suggested Ole Miss as the name the new year book. The following year, the Ole Miss yearbook was published.
1908-1909 - A train named Ole Miss was going from Memphis to New Orleans, through the state of Mississippi.
1918 - W. C. Handy write a song called Ole Miss Blues.
And Dr. Elmore wants everyone to believe that the name Ole Miss had nothing to do the University of Mississippi's yearbook, but a train and a song?
