The Dale Bumpers Legacy. . The University of Arkansas in July 1995 added Dale Bumpers to the name of the College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences to honor the former governor, 1971-1975, and U.S. senator, 1975-1999.

A former rancher and attorney from Charleston, he was a famous senate orator – one of few who could affect the course of legislation with his oratorical skills.
