Original Note:
This is false. The name "Ole Miss" was the name of the schools yearbook and dates back to 1898. There is no evidence to suggest the name was taken to honor how enslaved people needed to refer to the masters wife. https://www.oxfordeagle.com/2015/09/06/the-origin-of-the-name-ole-miss/ https://catalog.olemiss.edu/university/history#:~:text=The%20university%20took%20its%20nickname,the%20student%20yearbook%20of%201898.
