The Land-Grant Colleges and Universities


College Park

The U.S.A. in the mid-1800s

85% of the population lived on farms or in small towns

The universities at that time were mainly private universities that taught law, medicine, philosophy and literature. These universities were not readily accessible to the common man (the public)

Land-Grant System

The land-grant system is a term used to describe the set of U. S. A. state and territorial pubic institutions of higher learning which receive federal support for integrated programs of teaching, research and extension in agriculture, food and environmental systems

The establishment of this system of colleges and universities was open to all high school graduates and would allow the common man (the public) to more easily attend a college or university and attain a higher education

The Land Grant University

Morrill Act, 1862Academics

Smith-Lever Act, 1914 Extension

Hatch Act, 1887Research

Morrill Land-Grant College Act – 1862

Provided grants of federal lands to states and territories to establish institutions of higher learning. Each college was to use the money from the land granted to it as a trust fund to endow a college where practical education in agriculture, mechanical arts and military service would be emphasized

Hatch Act – 1887

Established the concept of a nationwide system of agricultural experiment stations

Research was needed to solve agriculture problems, to provide information to farmers and to create new agriculture science to teach at these agriculture colleges

Agricultural experiment stations were placed in the land-grant universities

Morrill Act - 1890

Provided federal support for the establishment of institutions, primarily for agricultural education of African Americans, in the then segregated Southern states

Smith-Lever Act – 1914

Authorized federal support for extension services at the state and territorial level and established the Cooperative Extension Service at each land-grant university

Equity in Educational Land-Grant Status Act - 1994

Authorized land-grant status to 29 tribal colleges
