Description

The University of Wyoming used to be founded in 1886, four years prior to statehood. Provisions of the 1862 Morrill Act, often referred to as the Land Grant College Act, allowed for the teaching of agriculture, mechanic arts, and military tactics but also included literary and scientific studies. With statehood in 1890, the constitution confirmed the establishment of the university, that each one students, without reference to gender or race, could attend, and that the price of instruction is also as nearly free as imaginable. From a humble beginning in athletics, UW has excelled in football, basketball, and rodeo and has produced such notable figures as Kenny Sailors and Curt Gowdy. Statewide outreach has at all times been a focal point, resulting in a research center in Grand Teton National Park and agricultural farms in many communities. Wyomings economy relies heavily on the energy industry, and today, the university is a leader in energy-related education and research. Among the photographs in Campus History Series: University of Wyoming were taken by long-serving university faculty, providing an interesting glimpse of UWs 125-year history.
