University of Nevada

=History and significance of the name=

The phrase University of Nevada by itself refers to the University of Nevada, Reno, because that was the name by which it was known from the time of its founding in 1874 until its name was changed to "University of Nevada, Reno" in 1969, at the same time as the newly founded "Nevada Southern University" was renamed "University of Nevada, Las Vegas". Although the school's official name is now "University of Nevada, Reno", several of the university's institutions retain the wording "University of Nevada", including the alumni association, the student government, the campus bookstore, and the athletics department (which refers to the school's teams simply as "Nevada").
