Ouachita Baptist University. How would you like to attend a college that no one except for its alumni can pronounce? There are only a few English words that begin with “oua” and the most common is “ouabain” which as we all know, means a “cardiac glycoside.”
Perhaps the best outcome we can hope for today is that you know how to pronounce “Ouachita” = “Wah-shi-tah”. The only thing that makes sense is the “ta”.
To add to this, Ouachita Baptist is located in a town that is the child of Arkansas and Philadelphia = Arkadelphia! (Arkansas.)
At least the
ir mascot is not too complicated – the Tigers.
However, their mascot may be a child of the LSU Tiger.
The university was formed in 1886 and has ~1,670 students. 94% of students live on campus – there is no Greek Life permitted.
Famous alumni – Mike Huckabee (Presidential candidate and political commentator), Doak Campell (created Florida State U out of Florida College for Women and served as President there. FSU’s football stadium is named after him.) http://www.obu.edu
