Land Grant CollegesThe land grant colleges were created by the Morrill Act of 1862. This Act proposed the sale of public land to finance the establishment of at least one college in each state to teach agriculture and mechanic arts in addition to other scientific and classical studies. This combination of liberal arts and practical application created the land grant college ideal.
