An understanding of this history can be useful for student appreciation of dynamics on their campus, as well as the importance of land-grant philosophies and contributions of colleges of agriculture to society as a whole. The background, content, and student response related to a course on the history of a college of agriculture are discussed in this article. Results of the initial offering of the course have been positive.
