	About the Land-Grant System
		Today, America's land-grant universities continue to fulfill their democratic mandate for openness, accessibility, and service to people, and many of these institutions have joined the ranks of the nation's most distinguished public research universities.
		University education was for the male leisure classes, government leaders, and members of the professions.
		The University of the District of Columbia, arguing that it was "the last substantial area in the nation without the services of a land-grant college," received land-grant status and a $7.24 million endowment in lieu of a land grant in 1967.

	Colleges of Agriculture at the Land Grant Universities
		The land grant universities generally, and their colleges of agriculture specifically, have raised the level of education of the U.S. citizenry and its agriculturalists.
		Initiated in 1984, Graduate Fellowship Grants are targeted specifically to the recruitment and education of predoctoral students for critical food and agricultural science positions in areas identified as having a "shortage of expertise." During the period FY 1984-1993, a total of 722 fellows were supported through 273 grants awarded to 51 institutions in 38 states.
		Land grant precepts for access and education for the citizenry remain in the national interest despite the fact that most U.S. citizens have attained a relatively high level of education.

		Land grant universities (LGUs) were conceived according to a brand new ideal: the idea that universities would educate not a small class of a few privileged men but rather the large numbers of commoners and farmers.
		LGUs are presently acting more like private universities or simply experiencing the pangs of a temporary economic downturn, the historical mission of the LGU remains clear.

	Land Grant Universities Are Changing
		Land grant faculty are confused and, with exceptions, on balance still resist the idea that their enterprise must change in any fundamental way.
		It is necessary to understand that the land grant movement was led, not by farmers as such, but by middle class professionals who feared that the industrial revolution of 19th century America was pushing agrarian and urban workers into a disadvantaged underclass.
		Today, most land grant universities and colleges of agriculture are being forced to shift their relative focus more toward the problems and expectation of their states.

	FOCUS \| LAND GRANT UNIVERSITIES
		At North Carolina State University, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the agricultural extension service have collaborated to offer free public seminars on such topics as "The Small Town in American Literature" and "First Amendment Freedoms." The topics have resulted in requests from teachers for educational materials for their classrooms.
		"University faculty often talk of knowledge-based extension programming, presuming that all knowledge is at the university," McDowell writes.
		From their beginnings, in the values of American democracy, the land-grant institutions were to be better than the elite institutions and were to make the democracy itself better, in part on the basis of whom they admitted to their classrooms.

	The Public View of Land Grant Universities: Results From a National Survey
		The authors argue that land grant universities need to recapture their three traditional functions, in part by reinventing outreach and continuous distance education in the contemporary context of an information age.
		Immediately after this series of questions about land grant services in their state, respondents were asked how they would distribute $100 of state tax money to educational services beyond high school.
		In responding to these pressures, land grant universities have an enormous advantage when compared to other higher education institutions; they have a long tradition of providing outreach, as well as offering the kind of continuous, lifelong learning that is becoming essential to success in the information age.

		Wheat researcher R. James Cook of Washington State University emphasized the need for the land-grant system's local approach to agriculture in speaking at the South Dakota Legislator Biotechnology Workshop.
		At a land-grant university, Cook said, it's not unusual to release a crop variety to address a problem that's common in only a few counties.
		"The university system is trusted by the people, and one of the problems we have with biotechnology, of course, is that people are skeptical about where it's going, what it's going to do, how dangerous is it," Hundstad said.

	High Country News -- November 14, 1994: Land-grant universities: Their roots loosen as the West changes beneath them
		Thanks to land grants, poet Edwin Markham’s "man with the hoe’ - -Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, the emptiness of ages in his face’ - has become the man with $1 million or more in specialized, often monstrous equipment.
		And each land grant has a college of agriculture, which is keeper of the land-grant tradition and recipient of earmarked research and extension funds from both the U.S. Congress and the state legislature.
		But if you are concerned with land and resources in a different way - as a land-use planner in a rural county, as a citizen concerned about grazing or logging or as owner of a recreational rafting firm - you are likely to be on your own.
