University of Minnesota. West Central School of Agriculture and Experiment Station (Morris, Minn.)

The Board of Regents, at their meeting on October 26, 1909, received a report from a University committee charged with “examining the lands, buildings, and equipment of the Indian School at Morris, which has been accepted by an act of the last legislature, entitled ‘An act accepting the Indian School at Morris, Minnesota, from the United States for an Agricultural School.’”

The President’s Report in the 1911-1912 University Bulletin described the transaction, “The 1909 session of the Minnesota Legislature accepted from the National Government the gift of the property formerly used as an Indian School (in Morris, Minnesota), and appropriated funds for its maintenance as an Agricultural School. The control of the institution was placed under the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota.”
