Celebrating 150 Years of the Morrill Act
The Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act of 1862 created land-grant universities “to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life” while making education more affordable to all people. This fall, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will celebrate the Morrill Act’s 150th anniversary. Read more about the celebration and Vice Chancellor Ronnie Green’s thoughts on the past, present and future of our land-grant university on page 16.
