University of Nebraska-Lincoln

[edit]

The university was founded in 1869 as a land-grant university under the 1862 Morrill Act, two years after Nebraska's statehood. In 1896, it became the first institution west of the Mississippi River to award a doctorate degree. Ecology as a discipline was also founded here during this time, which is reflected today in the large portions of campus dedicated to botanical gardens and arboreta.[19] Around the turn of the century, the university significantly expanded, hiring professors from eastern schools to teach in the newly organized professional colleges while also producing groundbreaking research in agricultural sciences. Nebraska was nationally recognized in 1908, when it was inducted as the 18th member of the Association of American Universities.[20]

UNL's varsity teams, called the Cornhuskers or Huskers, currently compete in the Big 12 Conference of the NCAA Division l for the 2010-2011 season, but will move over to the Big Ten Conference for the 2011-2012 season.[21] UNL is known for its success in football, which has won 46 conference championships and five national championships since 1890. Huskers football is popular throughout Nebraska; home games at Memorial Stadium, which have consecutively sold out since 1962, are attended by a number of people greater than the population of Nebraska's third-largest town.[22][23] The women's volleyball team is also prolific, having won three NCAA Women's Volleyball National Championships along with eight other appearances in the Final Four.[24]
