- [Narrator] In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln
signed a bill that revolutionized
higher education in America,
a revolution that started with Michigan State University.
(upbeat music)
In 1855, the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan,
now known as Michigan State,
was founded as the first US institution of higher education
to teach scientific agriculture.
(upbeat music)
The college opened its doors
to provide a practical education
to all citizens, regardless of social class.
It was a bold experiment that meant for the first time,
higher education was an opportunity
for all, not a privilege for the few.
(upbeat music)
This revolution culminated in the Morrill Act,
signed by President Lincoln in 1862.
This bill allowed for the creation of Land-Grant Colleges,
across the nation,
and Michigan State was the prototype.
For this reason, Michigan State is known
as the nation's Pioneer Land-Grant University.
(upbeat music)
Today, and throughout our history,
true to our land grant mission,
Spartans continue to change the world,
working for the common good
with an uncommon will.
(upbeat music)
