The campus was designed by the Olmsted brothers, sons of the architect that designed New York City’s Central Park and the US Capitol grounds.
The athletic program of the University is associated with the Western Athletic Conference. The teams are known as the Vandals, a name which came about in 1917 when a student newspaper reported that the University basketball team vandalized their opponents. The reference stuck, and they have been known as the vandals since then.
There are four primary rival schools, Washington State, only eight miles away, Boise State, Idaho state and the University of Montana. The rivalries with Washington state and Montana go back almost 100 years and have been the source of intense competition.

Nice tribute to a great university. It reminds me of some of the colleges I have visited on the East Coast with the colorful leaves and trees!
So, it's in Moscow? I wonder if Sarah Palin can see it from her house?
