Institutions sometimes change their names, e.g., U.S. Army Air Corp became U.S. Air Force.  For this example, each name has a category.  Does this apply to other institutions such as colleges/universities?  For example, Texas Women's University has had several names, such as, College of Industrial Arts.

What I usually do is link them through the category page but I have created the name of the school that it had at the time.

Example: [[Category: State Normal School in Fitchburg]]

This applies to schools. In the Military and War structure they are linked similarly, via the category page.
