So they started classes right after spring break? Bold move, Iowa State.

I thought ISU began in 1858? What's that all about?
The college was established in 1858 but the first class wasn't until 1869.

It's like when an expansion team is added in a sport. The plans for the team are established in a certain year, but the team doesn't actually start competing until years later.
