University Flag

The University itself does not have a flag for itself. It relies on the state flag to serve as the official university flag (sometimes this fact is used to describe the U of A as the "flagship university" for Arkansas.) This was decided by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees on November 8th, 1940, with decision number 100.6. The Board Policy states the following: "STATE FLAG OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FLAG - The State Flag of Arkansas shall be the official flag of the University of Arkansas."

Institution

University of Arkansas - "The University of Arkansas (U of A, UArk, or UA) is a public land-grant research university in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is the flagship campus of the University of Arkansas System and the largest university in Arkansas. Founded as Arkansas Industrial University in 1871, classes were first held on January 22, 1872, with its present name adopted in 1899.” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Arkansas

A historical note about the seal from the U of A Marketing Guidelines:

The Seal - The official seal of the University of Arkansas was designed by Zelma Rothrock in 1923 and adopted by the Board of Trustees that same year. While no record can be found providing a translation of what Mrs. Rothrock meant by "Veritate Duce Progredi," David Fredrick, associate professor of classical studies, has provided this translation: "To Advance with Truth as (Our) Guide." The central design element of the seal is the east entrance to Old Main. Although the seal has represented the Fayetteville campus since 1923, it is also used by the Board of Trustees and the president of the University of Arkansas System.

These flags only scratch the surface. With it being the flagship university of Arkansas, and being in the SEC (sporting conference), the Razorback will feature on different flags that are made locally, nationally or internationally. The big one I have seen in my travels around the state and on Facebook is a cardinal flag with the Razorback in white and outlined in black. Plus different administrations within the U of A have instituted different logos, including the forward facing hog (not a favorite but is used on the badge of the women's soccer team) and different scripts for how to write Razorbacks.
