In the spring of 1897, Cedar City was notified it had been chosen as the site for another teaching training school in southern Utah. For three months, citizens labored to complete the first building of the school before the next school year. After two months, school officials informed the school administrators that the school didn’t comply with the new state law and they need to build a new building on land deeded to the state. The University was first known as the Branch Normal School. A few years later, the School became part of the school of the Utah State Agriculture College and was called the branch Agriculture College. Since becoming a College, it changed its name three more times. The last being Southern Utah University, after it was given university status in 1991. It is home to the Utah Summer Games and the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
Name Meaning
English and Welsh: from the Middle English personal name James. Introduced to England by the Normans, this is an Old French form of Late Latin Iacomus, a variant of Latin Iacobus, Greek Iakōbos, the New Testament rendering of Hebrew Ya‘aqob (see Jacob ). The medieval Latin (Vulgate) Bible distinguished between Old Testament Iacob (which was uninflected) and New Testament Iacobus (with inflections). The latter developed into James in medieval French. The distinction was carried over into the King James Bible of 1611, and Jacob and James remain as separate names in English usage. Most European languages, however, make no such distinction, so that forms such as French Jacques , stand for both the Old and the New Testament names. This surname is also very common among African Americans. Compare Jack .
