Michigan State University A brief history In 1855, the Michigan State Legislature passed Act 130, which provided for the establishment of the “Agricultural College of the State of Michigan,” which came to be known as the Michigan Agricultural College (MAC). MAC was formally opened and dedicated on May 13, 1857, in what is now East Lansing. MAC was the first agricultural college in the nation, and served as the prototype for the 72 land-grant institutions that were later established under the Federal Land Grant Act of 1862, unofficially known as the “Morrill Act” after its chief sponsor, Senator Justin Morrill of Vermont. 34 2022_FRIB_Graduate_Brochurev4.indd 34 10/29/2021 3:33:47 PM
The campus The East Lansing campus of MSU is one of the most beautiful in the nation. Early campus architects designed it as a natural arboretum with 7,000 different species of trees, shrubs, and vines represented. The Red Cedar River bisects the campus; north of the river’s tree-lined banks and grassy slopes is the older, traditional heart of the campus. Some of the existing ivy-covered red-brick buildings found in this part of campus were built before the Civil War. On the south side of the river are the more recent additions to campus — the medical complex, the veterinary medical center, and most of the science and engineering buildings. Academics There are approximately 50,000 students enrolled at MSU — from every state and more than 130 countries. Of these, approximately 11,000 are in graduate and professional programs. MSU leads all public universities in attracting National Merit Scholars, and is also a leader in the number of students who win National Science Foundation Fellowships. MSU was the first university to sponsor National Merit Scholarships. A student walks through a garden outside the MSU Library. If students are the lifeblood of a campus, then the faculty is the heart of a great university. The more than 5,700 MSU faculty and academic staff continue to distinguish themselves, and include members in the National Academy of Sciences, and honorees of prestigious fellowships such as the Fulbright, Guggenheim, and Danforth. University-wide research has led to important developments throughout MSU’s history. Early research led to important vegetable hybrids and the process for homogenization of milk. More recently, the world’s widest-selling and most effective type of anti-cancer drugs (cisplatin and carboplatin) were discovered at MSU.
