SDSU History
A Guide to Resources in the South 啵啵直播秀 State University Archives and Special Collections
As a public university, South 啵啵直播秀 State University has generated numerous publications, reports and files. With the exception of certain ongoing publications and materials illustrating the historical development of the campus, only publications or writings that treat some aspect of the history of the institution are included in this guide.
Founding of the 啵啵直播秀 Agricultural College
On Feb. 21, 1881, 啵啵直播秀 Territory Governor Nehemiah George Ordway signed into law the establishment of the 啵啵直播秀 Agricultural College, which eventually became South 啵啵直播秀 State University.
Brookings County Delegate, John O'Brien Scobey, brought the idea for an agricultural college to the 啵啵直播秀 Territory Legislature and lobbied for its approval. The 1881 Act also established a Board of Trustees to oversee the operations of the college. However, it did not provide any funding for the building of the college. That did not come until the 1883 Legislative System.
The 1881 Act required that 80 acres of land near Brookings be obtained for the agricultural college within a year. The citizens of Brookings raised over $600 and purchased land that had belonged to Randi Petersen on October 10, 1881. The purchased land was located at N1/2 of SW1/4 of S24, T110, R50W, on the north side of Brookings.
