The State Agricultural College of Michigan and the Farmer's High School of Pennsylvania were both established as state Land-grant institutions prior to the Federal Morrill Act in 1862, which created more land grant schools around the country to promote agricultural science and military training during the Civil War. Later, their names changed to Michigan State University and Pennsylvania State University.
Over Thanksgiving I visited the beautiful town of State College for my first time to support my Alma mater, MSU. Through the first snow of the season MSU took the hideous
land-grant trophy back from Penn State with a solid game for all four quarters!
