From Associated Press in the Indianapolis Star this morning:  

"The Tri-State University board of trustees has voted to change the school's name to Trine University in honor of a major donor.  The change will take place June 1, 2009.  The name honors Ralph Trine and his wife, Sheri, owners of Angola-based Vestil Manufacturing.  They made an eight-figure donation to the school last year, the largest single gift in the history of the university, founded in 1884."

Congratulations to Tri-State University!
