Golden Eagle VolleyballUMC HISTORY

1851 The Minnesota Territorial Laws of 1851 establish the University of Minnesota at what is now the Minneapolis campus and vest its government in a Board of Regents. This statute is approved on February 25, 1851.

1858 On May 11, 1858, Minnesota becomes the thirty-second state admitted to the Union of the United States of America.

1879 The city of Crookston is incorporated. The city is named in honor of Colonel William Crooks, a soldier and railroad builder.

1895 The Minnesota legislature appropriates $30,000 to procure equipment and to construct two experimental research farms, one at Morris and one at Crookston. The Great Northern Railway, under the guidance of James J. Hill , donates 476.61 acres. The Northwest Experiment Station is established.

1905 The Minnesota legislature appropriates $15,000 to establish the Northwest School of Agriculture (NWSA), a regional residential high school with a focus on agriculture.

1906 The NWSA opens its doors to students in the fall of 1906. Thirty-one students are enrolled that fi rst year. The school provides training in "the technical and practical business of agriculture and in the art of homemaking." The term of schooling begins in October and ends in March to accommodate farm students.

At left, the fi rst building on campus (known simply as the "School Building") was built in 1905-06. The fi rst fl oor held the school's dining hall, cooks' quarters, and heating plant; the second fl oor, the assembly room, which was also used as a classroom, a second classroom, and offi ces; third fl oor featured nine dormitory rooms and a bathroom. The girls' dormitory was located at the farm house, at right in the photo. The School Building was later named the Home Econom-ics Building. Dowell Hall now stands where the School Building was located. Note: the photo is taken looking west from roughly where Owen Hall currently stands.

1908 Owen Hall is completed. Agricultural laboratories occupy the fi rst fl oor of the building. Classrooms and labs for business training, farm engineering, and car-pentry are located on the second fl oor.

1909 Eight students comprise the fi rst graduating class of the Northwest School of Agriculture.

1910 Kiehle Building is constructed. The building houses administrative offi ces, the library, and, on the second level, a gymnasium.

1932 History is made in 1932 when the fi rst student of the second generation enrolls at the Northwest School of Agriculture. Dayton Hanson, ’34, of Fertile, Min-nesota, is the fi rst of many sons and daughters of alumni to attend. He is the son of Henry Hanson, who attended from 1908 to 1910. Enrollment continues to increase, and the NWSA is dubbed the "School of Service," equipping graduates for careers in agriculture, home economics, home nursing, and business training related to agriculture.

The Campus in 1933

1963 With the changing demands of the region and in the agriculture industry, it becomes apparent to state offi cials that a college-level technical educational institution is urgently needed. A study by the University of Minnesota Bureau of Field Studies begins an examination of new roles for the Northwest School of Agriculture. University Regents discuss launching a college-level technical institute.

1965 On May 26, 1965, the Minnesota Legislature approves the creation and education appropriations funding for "the support of an Agricultural and Technical Institute - Crookston" to be located on the campus of the Northwest School of Agriculture in Crookston.

On September 17, 1965, Stanley D. Sahlstrom , Ph.D., is appointed director of the University of Minnesota Technical Institute. He is charged with the development of curricular and administrative affairs for the new collegiate program that will begin classes in the fall of 1966. His title as director and chief executive offi cer is subsequently changed to provost in 1970. Sahstrom becomes known as the founding provost of the campus.

1966 Classes begin at the University of Minnesota Technical Institute in September 1966. Associate in Applied Science degrees are offered in three academic divi-sions: Agriculture, Business, and General Studies. Dedication ceremonies for the new college are held on November 30, 1966.

In the photo at right, the "Torch of Education" is passed from NWSA representative David Bohnsack to Ron Tobkin, Technical Institute student, as Director Stanley Sahlstrom (right) looks on. This ceremony marks the passing of educational mission and duties to the new institution. Over its 63-year history, 5,433 graduates completed their high school education at the NWSA.

In the spring of 1994, twenty-four students receive their B.S. degrees at UMC.

1995 On November 27, 1995, at the Teambackers Banquet, UMC announces that a new name had been chosen for its athletics teams: the Golden Eagles. The name change is meant to help signify UMC’s change in mission from a two-year college to a four-year university.
