University of Montana 1950 Breakfast Menu

Between 1950 and 1953, some Union Pacific menus featured photos of university campuses (or at least university administration buildings). I’ve seen two for Kansas and Washington, so if it had two for each state that it served, there would be 22 such menu covers–except that Wyoming only has one state university and I suspect the one shown here was only one for Montana.

In explanation, the cover text states, “the institution located at Missoula became known as the State University of Montana until 1935 when it was designated Montana State University by legislative act.” Today, Montana State University is in Bozeman, though in 1950 it was called Montana Agricultural College. While it’s possible, I can’t find any evidence for the claim that the Missoula campus was ever known as Montana State University.

  1. Yes, apparently Montana State College (the Bozeman school) wanted to be called a university. So, after great debate, the Missoula school changed its name to University of Montana in 1965 so MSC could become MSU.

    From 1893 to 1913, the Missoula school was called “University of Montana-Missoula,” so the change wasn’t entirely new. However, one official said, “The football rivalry is child’s play compared to the battle in 1964-1965 over the renaming.”

  2. I went to the U. of Montana (Journalism, ’78), and worked for the Livingston newspaper for 10 years. We always had to double-check obituaries and the like for people who graduated between the ’30s and the ’60s, to make sure we had the right schools. Alumni association used to offer reissued degrees with University of Montana on them for people who were tired of explaining it.
