New Mexico State University (commonly referred to as NMSU-Las Cruces, NMSU, New Mexico State, or NM State), is a major public, land-grant, research university in Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States. Founded in 1888, it is the oldest public institution of higher education in the state of New Mexico. NMSU is the second largest four-year university in the state, in terms of total enrollment across all campuses as of 2011, with campuses in Alamogordo, Carlsbad, Doña Ana County, and Grants, with extension and research centers across New Mexico.[4]

It was founded to teach agriculture in 1888 as the Las Cruces College, and the following year became New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. It received its present name in 1960. NMSU has 18,497 students enrolled as of Fall 2009, and has a faculty-to-student ratio of about 1 to 19. NMSU offers a wide range of programs and awards associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees through its main campus and four community colleges. NMSU is the only research-extensive, land-grant, USA-Mexico border institution classified by the federal government as serving Hispanics.[5]

History

Hiram Hadley

In 1888 Hiram Hadley, an Earlham College-educated teacher from Indiana, started Las Cruces College. One decade later, the Territorial Assembly of New Mexico provided for the establishment of an agricultural college and agricultural experiment station with Bill No. 28, the Rodey Act of 1889. It stated: " Said institution is hereby located at or near the town of Las Cruces in the County of Doña Ana,upon a tract of land of not less than one hundred (100) acres, This land could be contiguous to the main Las Cruces irrigating ditch, south of said town." Designated as the land-grant college for New Mexico under the Morrill Act, it was named the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.[6][full citation needed]

Las Cruces College then merged with the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, and opened on January 21, 1890. It began with 35 students and 6 faculty members. The college was supposed to graduate its first student in 1893, but the only senior, named Sam Steel, was murdered before he was able to receive his diploma.[7] Classes met in the two-room adobe building of Las Cruces College until new buildings were erected on the 220-acre (0.89 km2) campus three miles (5 km) south of Las Cruces. In February 1891, McFie Hall, popularly known as Old Main, opened its doors. McFie Hall burned down in 1910, but its remains can be seen in the center of Pride Field on the University Horseshoe.[6]

In 1960, in move to better represent its operations, New Mexico A&M was renamed New Mexico State University by a state constitutional amendment.[6]

New Mexico State University now has a 6,000-acre (24 km2) campus and enrolls more than 21,000 students from the United States and 71 foreign countries. Full-time faculty members number 694, with a staff of 3,113. The university has an extensive international student population from in Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Campus

As one of the largest college campuses in the nation, the main campus of New Mexico State University sits on 6,250 acres (24 km²) of land in the city of Las Cruces, New Mexico.[8] It is located in the southern part of the Pan American Highway interchange, Interstate 25, surrounded by desert landscape and greenhouses.[9] The main campus is also bordered by Interstate 10, which is the main east-west interstate highway across the Southern part of the United States. To the east of Interstate 25, the campus facilities consist of the President's residence, NMSU Golf Course, the "A" Mountain west slope, and the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum. South of University Avenue are Pan American Plaza, 48 acres of horse farm, and the Fabian Garcia Science center, which houses the Chile Pepper Institute's research, teaching and demonstration garden, algal biofuels research equipment, grape vineyards and gazebos, and fields and greenhouses for plant research projects. About six miles south of campus on 203 acres of land is the Leyendecker Plant Science Research Center.[10]

The first master plan of the university was to create a "Horseshoe", a U shaped drive, in an open large lawn. At the center, was the Old Main, the original campus building, originally known as McFie Hall, destroyed by fire in 1910 and the remains are now a college landmark. The cornerstone and remains of Mcfie Hall stands near the flagpole and in the middle of the Horseshoe.[11] Today, the Horseshoe is the center of campus and is the location of the main administration building, Hadley Hall, which sits at the top of the Horseshoe, and other classroom buildings.[12]

As a land-grand institution, its mission is to serve New Mexico's diverse population through comprehensive programs of education, research, extension education, and public service across New Mexico, the nation, and the world.[13] As a result, NMSU has a presence in all 33 counties of New Mexico, a satellite learning center in Albuquerque, 13 research and science centers, distance education opportunities, and five NMSU campuses in Alamogordo, Carlsbad, Grants, Doña Ana County, and in Las Cruces.[14]

Zuhl Library

Zuhl Library was built in 1992 at a cost of $11 million. The library houses texts and resources related to the arts, humanities, and sciences.[20] North of Zuhl Library is a 20 foot wide steel and granite sculpture, named " A Quest for Knowledge", which was created by Federico Armijo, an Albuquerque native.[21]

Museums and Collections

NMSU is home to several museums, collections, and galleries. The NMSU Arthropod Museum, which houses more than 150,000 research and 5,000 teaching specimens, is housed in Skeen Hall. Specimens are used globally for taxonomic research and within the state for community outreach. The University Museum (established in 1959) serves the community as a repository and exhibitor of local and regional culture and history.[22] The Klipsch Museum is a tribute to Paul and Valerie Klipsch, who provided materials representing more than 80 years of audio engineering. It is located in NMSU’s Foreman Engineering Complex. The Zuhl Collection combines the functions of an art gallery and natural history museum and showcases thousands of specimens of petrified wood, fossils, and minerals.

Police Department

The university has a dedicated police department employing 35 people, including 22 full-time commissioned police officers. The number of employed personnel expands greatly during special events such as concerts or sporting events, with as many as 50 security guards and dozens of additional officers from other departments. The current chief of police is Stephen Lopez.[23] In addition to the Las Cruces campus, the department also has authority for all university-owned campuses, lands and facilities around the state.[24]

To improve student safety, the department monitors a network of cameras around campus, using recorded footage to solve crimes after they occur or real-time monitoring to investigate suspicious activity as it occurs. The university is currently working to improve the quality and consistency of cameras across campus.[25]

The department also offers personal defense courses for females on campus, including training in rape prevention, escape and the proper use of pepper sprays.[26] Campus officers receive training on gender identity/expression issues, which has helped the university achieve an overall score of 4 out of 5 for LGBT friendliness.[27]

Institutes and research programs

Research programs

Foster Hall is home to the Department of Biology

Since its founding as New Mexico’s land grant college in 1888, New Mexico State University has encouraged and supported creative scholarly activity of its faculty and students. New Mexico State University is ranked by the National Science Foundation among United States colleges and universities with high research and development, and is among the top institutions without a medical school in terms of R&D expenditures. Most early research followed mandates of the founding legislation of land-grant colleges by generating knowledge useful in agriculture and engineering. Over time, however, research has expanded from this focus on applied natural sciences to include all disciplines of the university. Today, creative scholarly activity leads to basic scientific discoveries as well as practical applications emanating from the natural and social sciences, arts, humanities, business, education and health sciences in addition to engineering and agriculture. This creative activity enriches academic program for students, provides training and employment opportunities, and attracts externally funded support to enhance university research, academic programs and facilities.[28]

Traditions

Aggies

The nickname was derived from its roots and beginnings as an agricultural school and the state's only land-grant university designation.

Victory Bell

Goddard Hall

In the 1940s, the Victory Bell, a gift of the Class of 1939, was housed in an open-sided structure on the Horseshoe and rung to announce Aggie victories. In 1972, the bell was rededicated as the NMSU Engineer's Bell and mounted on a platform near Goddard Hall. On game days, various school organizations took turns in toting the ringing bell around Las Cruces prior to kick-off. The Bell was then taken to Aggie Memorial Stadium where it saluted Aggie touchdowns with its distinctive – and loud – chimes. More recently, the bell has been permanently mounted at field level just behind the south goal post of the stadium.[58]

"A" Tradition

In 1920, students of then New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts scouted for an appropriate place to display their school letter. Tortugas Mountain, located three miles (5 km) east of campus, seemed a natural spot. Brave males gathered enough stones to form a big "A" easily visible from campus and the surrounding area. On the following day, April 1, students trudged up the mountain side with their five-gallon cans of whitewash and splashed it on the stones, turning them into a gleaming white "A". For many years, giving the "A" its annual fresh coat of whitewash was an all-school effort. The seniors mixed lime and water at the foot of the mountain and the freshmen and sophomores toted the mixture up to the juniors who splashed it on the "A." With the growth of the university through the years, the tradition was taken over by the Greek Council.[58]

The Pride of New Mexico Marching Band

The marching band of New Mexico State University is known as the Pride of New Mexico. It is composed of approximately 200 of the best and finest musicians, dancers, and auxiliary in the state and in the nation. The intention of the "PRIDE" is to provide entertainment at football games, parades, and other NMSU events.[59]

The Wonder Dog

On every NMSU football kickoff, Aggie fans eagerly await the "Wonder Dog" to retrieve the kicking tee from the football field during home games. This fun tradition started in the mid 1990s. The first "Wonder Dog" was Smoki, a border collie-Australian shepherd mix born in Capitan, New Mexico, and trained by Joel Sims, a NMSU alumni. Smoki "The Wonder Dog" entertained the Aggie crowd for six years, even with defeat, and retired in 2002. She also debut in a Hollywood film which co-starred Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid, entitled "Wyatt Earp", as a town dog.[60] "Smoki the Wonder Dog" died at the age of 15 in 2005. Since then, the fun tradition ended until in 2012, a tryout for the next "Wonder Dog" took place to take over Smoki and to continue on the long time tradition. After the deliberation that took 2 hours, the panel of celebrity judges has officially chosen Striking as the next "Wonder Dog", following the legacy of Smoki. Striking "The Wonder Dog" is a 4 year old, border collie breed, owned and handled by Dr. Stochj, a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New Mexico State University and also serves as Chair for the President's Research and Economic Development Committee. Striking first appeared in August 30, 2012 at the NMSU-Sacramento State home game.[61]

Crimson Fridays

Every Friday, some students, faculties, staff, and alumni of NMSU wear crimson colors to show support for the university and the school's sports program.[62]

NMSU ring

The official ring of New Mexico State University is given to students with junior and senior standing and alumni of NMSU to celebrate and commemorate each of the ring bearers’ achievement and NMSU traditions. The official Ring Ceremony is sponsored by the Alumni Association which is held every spring and fall Semester at the Aggie Memorial Tower.[63]

The ring symbolizes dedication, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence. It is a tangible and lifelong reminder of the NMSU experience; the Organ Mountains, Horseshoe, Memorial Tower, the taste of red or green chile.

The official ring is manufactured by Balfour, which comes with white gold and yellow gold, with an optional stone; diamond or cubic zirconia at the centerpiece of the ring and is presented with Hatch Chile Ristra. The top of the ring highlights the NMSU three triangles school seal, encircled with the school name. The three triangles represent NMSU’s role as a land grant University- teaching, research, and service. It also represents the connection of Spanish, American Indian, and Anglo cultures in New Mexico, and the triangulation of NMSU campus with Interstate 10 linking Interstate 25 in the first principle interchange of the Pan American Highway in North America. The one side of the ring shows the Aggie Memorial Tower, in honor of Aggies' who died for the country, and the other side of the ring displays a majestic Organ Mountains. Students wear the ring facing the school name. Upon, granting of degrees, graduates should turn the ring around facing outward, which symbolizes that they are ready to face the world.[64]

Noche de Luminarias

A tradition that signals the beginning of the holiday season is the "Noche de Luminarias” or “Night of Lights”. A university tradition that started as the President’s Holiday Reception in 1984, which kick offs the holiday season with a night of entertainment and festivities. It is considered one of the largest luminaria displays in the state of New Mexico.[65]

Each candle set is lit inside a paper bag. More than 6,000 luminarias, begins at the Educational Services Building, extending towards the International Mall and then encircle the Corbett Center Student Union. The display is being set up by the Las Cruces High School band, and will serenade the visitors as they walk through the lighted path by the Las Cruces High School Brass Choir.[66]
