History, Organization and and Government.
The first official mention of the University of Minnesota is in the second message of Governor Ramsey to the territorial legislature of 1851. He refers to the matter in the following words: After speaking of the school lands, he adds, "As the endowment of a University will also naturally, in this connection, attract your attention, it might be proper to further memorialize Congress for a grant of one hundred thousand acres of land, applicable and available, at a future day, for this most desirable object. The propriety of urging, at this time, the request, arises from the importance of making an early selection, with a view to secure a fair proportion of choice lands."
The memorial above proposed was passed by the legislature on the 10th day of February, and, on the 19th of the same month, Congress passed an act, granting two townships (about 46,000 acres) "for the use and support of a university in said territory and for no other use and purpose whatever."
To Col. John W. North, more than to any other one man, belongs the credit of starting the movement which resulted in the establishment of the University of Minnesota. He it was, as chairman of the legislative committee on education, who framed the following act which was adopted by the legislature February 13th, 1851, as the charter of the University.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota:
[Chapter 28, Revised Statutes.]
SECTION 1. There shall be established in this Territory an institution, under the name and style of the University of Minnesota.
SEC. 2. The proceeds of all lands that may hereafter be granted by the United States to the Territory for the support of a University, shall be and remain a perpetual fund, to be called the "University Fund," the interest of which shall be appropriated to the support of a University; and no sectarian instruction shall be allowed in such University.
SEC. 3. The object of the University shall be to provide the inhabitants of this Territory with the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the var ious branches of literature, science, and the arts.
SEC. 4. The government of the University shall be vested in a Board of twelve Regents, who shall be elected by the Legislature as hereinafter provided.
SEC. 5. The members of the Board of Regents shall be elected at the present session of the Legislature, and shall be divided into classes, numbered one, two and three; class numbered one shall hold their offices for two years;
