TRUTH !!
After several closures, under several names, on July 25, 1917, the Ball brothers, local industrialists and founders of the Ball Corporation, bought the Indiana Normal Institute from foreclosure.
The close relationship between the Balls and the school led to an unofficial
moniker for the college, with many students, faculty, and local politicians casually referring to the school as "Ball State," a shorthand alternative to
its longer, official name. During the 1922 short session of the Indiana legislature, the state renamed the school as Ball Teachers College. This was
in recognition to the Ball family's continuing beneficence to the institution. During this act, the state also reorganized its relationship with Terre Haute and established a separate local board of trustees for the Muncie campus.
In 1961, Ball State became fully independent of Indiana State University through the creation of the Ball State College Board of Trustees. The official name of the school was also changed to Ball State College.
