Missouri Tigers

History
UMC was founded in 1839 as part of the Geyer Act to establish a state university, the first west of the Mississippi River. During the American Civil War, supporters of the Union wanted to move the campus to a "more loyal" area. Tensions forced the university to close its doors for parts of 1862.

The original tombstone of Thomas Jefferson resides on the MU campus. Jefferson's heirs gave it to the campus in July 1883 because it was the first state university in the Louisiana Purchase territory.

Women were first admitted to the university in 1867, but only to the teachers' school. They were granted full admission in 1871.

On January 9, 1892, the school's main academic building, simply called Academic Hall, burned to the ground, leaving little more than six stone columns standing. The columns, which still stand today, became a symbol of the campus and form the center of Francis Quadrangle, the oldest part of campus. This section, where the buildings are built of red brick, are known as "red campus." East of the quadrangle, many buildings were built in 1913 and 1914 of white limestone. This section is known as "white campus."

Academics
In 1908, the world's first school of journalism was founded at UMC. Today, UMC is known for its journalism and agriculture programs. The university's academic divisions include the College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Education, College of Engineering, College of Human Sciences, School of Health Professions, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Law, School of Veterinary Medicine and the graduate school, which includes an institute of public affairs. UMC is unique among public universities of its size due to the fact that it houses a law school, medical school, veterinary medicine school and a graduate school. This university is considered a research extensive land grant institution. Students and faculty have been awarded for their outstanding research in the biosciences fields.
