Who Was Austin Peay?
He was Tennessee Governor Austin Peay...a favorite son of Clarksville. Gov. Peay signed a law establishing Austin Peay Normal School on April 26, 1927.
That is why APSU's mascot is the "Governors." Although Austin Peay State University has a 60-year history, institutions of higher learning have occupied the campus since 1806.
