==History==
{{Main|History of Arizona State University}}
[[File:Pres. Theodore Roosevelt at Old Main of Arizona State University.jpg|thumb|President Theodore Roosevelt addresses a crowd of students on the steps of the Old Main at Tempe Normal School (future Arizona State University), March 20, 1911.]]

===1885–1929===
[[File:Arizona State University Old Main circa 1890.jpg|thumb|Old Main on the Arizona Territorial Normal School (future Arizona State University) campus, {{circa|1890}}]]

Arizona State University was established as the '''Territorial Normal School''' at Tempe on March 12, 1885, when the [[13th Arizona Territorial Legislature]] passed an act to create a [[normal school]] to train teachers for the [[Arizona Territory]]. The campus consisted of a single, four-room schoolhouse on a 20-acre plot largely donated by Tempe residents George and Martha Wilson. Classes began with 33 students on February 8, 1886. The curriculum evolved over the years and the name was changed several times; the institution was also known as '''Tempe Normal School of Arizona''' (1889–1903), '''Tempe Normal School''' (1903–1925), '''Tempe State Teachers College''' (1925–1929), '''Arizona State Teachers College''' (1929–1945), '''Arizona State College''' (1945–1958) and, by a 2–1 margin of the state's voters, '''Arizona State University''' in 1958.

In 1923, the school stopped offering [[Secondary school|high school]] courses and added a [[high school diploma]] to the admissions requirements. In 1925, the school became the '''Tempe State Teachers College''' and offered four-year Bachelor of Education degrees as well as two-year teaching certificates. In 1929, the [[9th Arizona State Legislature]] authorized Bachelor of Arts in Education degrees as well, and the school was renamed the '''Arizona State Teachers College'''.<ref name=TNS>{{cite web |url=http://www.azarchivesonline.org/xtf/view?docId=ead/asu/tnsrec.xml |title=Tempe Normal School Records, 1885–1930 MSS-149 |year=2014 |publisher=Arizona Archives Online |access-date=May 27, 2014 |archive-date=May 25, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140525233759/http://www.azarchivesonline.org/xtf/view?docId=ead%2Fasu%2Ftnsrec.xml |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Academicprograms">{{cite web |url=http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/acpro.htm |title=The New ASU Story: Academic Programs |year=2001 |publisher=Arizona State University |access-date=May 27, 2014 |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006095704/http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/acpro.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Under the 30-year tenure of president [[Arthur John Matthews]] (1900–1930), the school was given all-college student status. The first dormitories built in the state were constructed under his supervision in 1902. Of the 18 buildings constructed while Matthews was president, six are still in use. Matthews envisioned an "evergreen campus", with many shrubs brought to the campus, and implemented the planting of 110 Mexican Fan Palms on what is now known as [[Palm Walk]], a century-old landmark of the Tempe campus.

During the [[Great Depression]], [[Ralph Waldo Swetman]] was hired to succeed President Matthews, coming to Arizona State Teachers College in 1930 from Humboldt State Teachers College where he had served as president. He served a three-year term, during which he focused on improving teacher-training programs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/preslist.htm|title=Principals and Presidents of Arizona State University – ASU Library|website=Asu.edu|access-date=December 11, 2017|archive-date=June 29, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629190306/http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/preslist.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> During his tenure, enrollment at the college doubled, topping the 1,000 mark for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/11lead.htm|title=ASU Library: The New ASU Story: Landmarks|website=Asu.edu|access-date=December 11, 2017|archive-date=December 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171212031717/http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/11lead.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Matthews also conceived of a self-supported summer session at the school at Arizona State Teachers College, a first for the school.

===1930–1989===
[[File:FLW Gammage Auditorium ASU PHX AZ 20186.JPG|thumb|ASU's [[Gammage Auditorium]], designed by [[Frank Lloyd Wright]]]]

In 1933, [[Grady Gammage]], then president of [[Northern Arizona University|Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff]], became president of Arizona State Teachers College at Tempe, beginning a tenure that would last for nearly 28 years, second only to Swetman's 30 years at the college's helm. Like President Porter Eric Gasvoda before him, Gammage oversaw the construction of several buildings on the Tempe campus. He also guided the development of the university's graduate programs; the first Master of Arts in Education was awarded in 1938, the first Doctor of Education degree in 1954 and 10 non-teaching master's degrees were approved by the [[Arizona Board of Regents]] in 1956. During his presidency, the school's name was changed to '''Arizona State College''' in 1945, and finally to '''Arizona State University''' in 1958. At the time, two other names were considered: '''Tempe University''' and '''State University at Tempe'''.<ref name="ASU50th">{{cite web|title=ASU's 50th Anniversary|date=November 4, 2008|url=https://asunow.asu.edu/content/asus-50th-anniversary|publisher=Arizona State University|access-date=March 28, 2016|archive-date=April 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408015451/https://asunow.asu.edu/content/asus-50th-anniversary|url-status=live}}</ref> Among Gammage's greatest achievements in Tempe was the [[Frank Lloyd Wright]]-designed construction of what is [[Gammage Memorial Auditorium|Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium/ASU Gammage]]. One of the university's hallmark buildings, ASU Gammage was completed in 1964, five years after the president's (and Wright's) death.

Gammage was succeeded by [[Harold D. Richardson]], who had served the school earlier in a variety of roles beginning in 1939, including director of graduate studies, college registrar, dean of instruction, dean of the College of Education and academic vice president. Although filling the role of acting president of the university for just nine months (Dec. 1959 to Sept. 1960), Richardson laid the groundwork for the future recruitment and appointment of well-credentialed research science faculty.

By the 1960s, under [[G. Homer Durham]], the university's 11th president, ASU began to expand its curriculum by establishing several new colleges and, in 1961, the Arizona Board of Regents authorized doctoral degree programs in six fields, including [[Doctor of Philosophy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/16lead.htm|title=ASU Library: The New ASU Story: Leadership|website=Asu.edu|access-date=December 11, 2017|archive-date=December 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171212084116/http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/16lead.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> By the end of his nine-year tenure, ASU had more than doubled enrollment, reporting 23,000 in 1969.

The next three presidents—[[Harry K. Newburn]] (1969–71), [[John W. Schwada]] (1971–81) and [[J. Russell Nelson]] (1981–89), including and Interim President Richard Peck (1989)—led the university to increased academic stature, the establishment of the [[Arizona State University West campus|ASU West Valley campus]] in 1984 and its subsequent construction in 1986, a focus on computer-assisted learning and research, and rising enrollment.

===1990–present===

Under the leadership of [[Lattie F. Coor]], president from 1990 to 2002, ASU grew through the creation of the [[Arizona State University at the Polytechnic campus|Polytechnic campus]] and extended education sites. Increased commitment to diversity, quality in [[undergraduate education]], research, and economic development occurred over his 12-year tenure. Part of Coor's legacy to the university was a successful fundraising campaign: through private donations, more than $500&nbsp;million was invested in areas that would significantly impact the future of ASU. Among the campaign's achievements were the naming and endowing of [[Barrett, The Honors College]], and the [[Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts]]; the creation of many new endowed faculty positions; and hundreds of new scholarships and fellowships.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/21lead.htm|title=ASU Library: The New ASU Story: Leadership|website=Asu.edu|access-date=December 11, 2017|archive-date=December 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171212032031/http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/21lead.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>
[[File:Asubiodesign.jpg|thumb|ASU's [[Biodesign Institute]] on Tempe campus]]

In 2002, [[Michael M. Crow]] became the university's 16th president. At his inauguration, he outlined his vision for transforming ASU into a "[[New American University model|New American University]]"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newamericanuniversity.asu.edu/|title=Home – New American University|website=Newamericanuniversity.asu.edu|access-date=December 11, 2017|archive-date=December 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171208110720/https://newamericanuniversity.asu.edu/|url-status=live}}</ref>—one that would be open and inclusive, and set a goal for the university to meet [[Association of American Universities]] criteria and to become a member.<ref name="ASU"/> Crow initiated the idea of transforming ASU into "One university in many places"—a single institution comprising several campuses, sharing students, faculty, staff and accreditation. Subsequent reorganizations<ref>{{cite web |url=http://asunews.asu.edu/20090121_reorg |title=Academic Reorganization |publisher=Asunews.asu.edu |date=January 21, 2009 |access-date=July 8, 2014 |archive-date=March 24, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324223537/https://asunews.asu.edu/20090121_reorg |url-status=live }}</ref> combined academic departments, consolidated colleges and schools, and reduced staff and administration as the university expanded its [[Arizona State University at the West campus|West]] Valley and Polytechnic campuses. ASU's [[Arizona State University at the Downtown Phoenix campus|Downtown Phoenix campus]] was also expanded, with several colleges and schools relocating there. The university established learning centers throughout the state, including the [[Colleges@ASU|ASU Colleges at Lake Havasu City]] and programs in Thatcher, Yuma, and Tucson. Students at these centers can choose from several ASU degree and certificate programs.

During Crow's tenure, and aided by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations, ASU began a years-long research facility capital building effort that led to the establishment of the [[Biodesign Institute]] at Arizona State University, the [[ASU School of Sustainability|Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability]], and several large interdisciplinary research buildings.

Gold signifies the "golden promise" of ASU. The promise includes every student receiving a valuable educational experience. Gold also signifies the sunshine Arizona is famous for; including the power of the sun and its influence on the climate and the economy. The first uniforms worn by athletes associated with the university were black and white when the "Normals" were the name of the athletic teams. The student section, known as The Inferno, wears gold on game days.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eoss.asu.edu/getinvolved/traditions|title=ASU Dean of Students: Traditions|publisher=Arizona State University|access-date=July 2, 2018|archive-date=July 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180702233454/https://eoss.asu.edu/getinvolved/traditions|url-status=live}}</ref> Maroon signifies sacrifice and bravery while white represents the balance of negativity and positivity.

===Lantern Walk and Homecoming===
[[File:Lantern Walk.jpg|thumb|upright|Old newspaper clipping describing the Lantern Walk tradition at ASU, May 30, 1929]]
The Lantern Walk is one of the oldest traditions at ASU and dates back to 1917.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://homecoming.asu.edu/lantern-walk|title=Lantern Walk|publisher=Arizona State University|access-date=July 2, 2018|archive-date=July 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180702233506/https://homecoming.asu.edu/lantern-walk|url-status=live}}</ref> It is considered one of ASU's "most cherished" traditions and is an occasion used to mark the work of those associated with ASU throughout history. Anyone associated with ASU is free to participate in the event, including students, alumni, faculty, employees, and friends. This differs slightly from the original tradition in which the seniors would carry lanterns up "A" Mountain followed by the freshman. The senior class president would describe ASU's traditions and the freshman would repeat an oath of allegiance to the university. It was described as a tradition of "good will between the classes" and a way of ensuring new students would continue the university's traditions with honor. In modern times, the participants walk through campus and follow a path up to "A" Mountain to "light up" Tempe. Keynote speakers, performances, and other events are used to mark the occasion. The night is culminated with a fireworks display. The Lantern Walk was held after the Spring Semester (June) but is now held the week before [[Homecoming]], a tradition that dates to 1924 at ASU. It is held in the fall and in conjunction with a football game.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homecoming.asu.edu/ |title=ASU homecoming &#124; ASU Homecoming |publisher=Homecoming.asu.edu |access-date=July 8, 2014 |archive-date=July 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140708221311/http://homecoming.asu.edu/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2012, Arizona State University reintroduced the tradition of ringing a bell after each win for the football team.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://asunews.asu.edu/20121119_victorybell |title=Sun Devil Athletics brings back Victory Bell in return to tradition &#124; ASU News |publisher=Asunews.asu.edu |date=November 19, 2012 |access-date=July 8, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-date=February 22, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222045035/https://asunews.asu.edu/20121119_victorybell}}</ref> The ROTC cadets associated with the university transport the bell to various events and ring it after Sun Devil victories. The first Victory Bell, in various forms, was used in the 1930s but the tradition faded in the 1970s when the bell was removed from Memorial Union for renovations.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/30casc.htm |title=ASU Libraries: The New ASU Story: Campus Lives – Campus Scenes |publisher=Asu.edu |access-date=July 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514151316/http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/30casc.htm |archive-date=May 14, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> The bell cracked and was no longer capable of ringing. That bell is on the southeast corner of Sun Devil Stadium, near the entrance to the student section. That bell, given to the university in the late 1960s, is painted gold and is a campus landmark.

===Sun Devil Marching Band, Devil Walk and songs of the university===

The [[Sun Devil Marching Band|Arizona State University Sun Devil Marching Band]], created in 1915 and known as the "Pride of the Southwest", was the first of only two [[marching band]]s in the Pac-12 to receive the prestigious [[Sudler trophy#The Sudler Trophy|Sudler Trophy]].<ref name="history">{{cite web|url=https://sundevilband.asu.edu/history|title=Sun Devil Marching Band: History|publisher=Arizona State University|access-date=July 2, 2018|archive-date=July 3, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180703021939/https://sundevilband.asu.edu/history|url-status=live}}</ref> The John Philip Sousa Foundation awarded the band the trophy in 1991. The Sun Devil Marching Band remains one of only 28 bands in the nation to have earned the designation. The band performs at every football game played in Sun Devil Stadium. In addition, the Sun Devil Marching Band has made appearances in the Fiesta Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Holiday Bowl, and the [[Super Bowl XLII]], in addition to many others.<ref name="history" /> Smaller ensembles of band members perform at other sport venues including basketball games at [[Wells Fargo Arena (Tempe, Arizona)|Wells Fargo Arena]] and baseball games. The Devil Walk is held in Wells Fargo Arena by the football team and involves a more formal introduction of the players to the community; a new approach to the tradition added in 2012 with the arrival of [[head coach]] [[Todd Graham]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thesundevils.com/news/2013/4/17/208257004.aspx|title=Arizona State University Official Athletic Site – Gameday|publisher=Arizona State University|date=April 17, 2013|access-date=July 2, 2018|archive-date=July 3, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180703021904/https://thesundevils.com/news/2013/4/17/208257004.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> It begins 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to the game and allows the players to establish rapport with the fans. The walk ends as the team passes the band and fans lined along the path to Sun Devil Stadium. The walk was discontinued when Graham was fired. However, in 2022, interim coach [[Shaun Aguano]] announced that the Sun Devil Walk is returning.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2022/09/23/asu-football-pleads-support-fanbase-against-utah/ | title=ASU football pleads for support from fanbase vs. No. 13 Utah | date=September 23, 2022 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=aguanos on Twitter |url=https://twitter.com/aguanos/status/1573143296687443972 |access-date=2022-10-11 |website=Twitter |language=en}}</ref> The most recognizable songs played by the band are "Alma Mater" and ASU's [[fight songs]] titled "[[Maroon and gold|Maroon and Gold]]" and the "Al Davis Fight Song". "Alma Mater" was composed by former Music Professor and Director of Sun Devil Marching Band (then known as Bulldog Marching Band), Miles A.

McKernan, in 1948. The "Al Davis Fight Song" (also known as "Go, Go Sun Devils" and "Arizona State University Fight Song") was composed by ASU alumnus Albert Oliver Davis in the 1940s without any lyrics. Recently lyrics were added to the song.<ref name="history" />

===Curtain of Distraction===
The Curtain of Distraction is a tradition that appears at every men's and women's basketball game. The tradition started in 2013 in order to get fans to the games. In the second half of basketball games, a portable "curtain" opens up in front of the opponents shooting a free throw and students pop out of the curtain to try and distract the opponent. Some of the skits include an Elvis impersonator, people rubbing mayonnaise on their chest, and people wearing unicorn heads.<ref name="autogenerated2">{{Cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/page/fansectionfeaturearizonastate/arizona-state-curtain-distraction |title=Inside student sections: Arizona State and the Curtain of Distraction |date=February 11, 2019 |work=ESPN.com |access-date=February 23, 2022 |archive-date=February 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220223045526/https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/page/fansectionfeaturearizonastate/arizona-state-curtain-distraction |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2016, former Olympian [[Michael Phelps]] came out of the curtain wearing a Speedo during a game against Oregon State.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/01/28/michael-phelps-to-make-guest-appearance-in-college-basketballs-nuttiest-tradition/ |title=Michael Phelps went full Speedo for Arizona State's 'Curtain of Distraction' |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=2016-01-29 |accessdate=2022-02-26 |archive-date=March 8, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308111333/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/01/28/michael-phelps-to-make-guest-appearance-in-college-basketballs-nuttiest-tradition/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ESPN estimated that distraction may give ASU a one-to-three point advantage.<ref name="autogenerated2"/>
