| History |
|
On February 22, 1889, President Grover Cleveland signed the Enabling Act by which Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington were admitted to the Union. As a result, 100,000 acres of public land were appropriated to Montana to establish and maintain a state school of mines. In 1893, the Montana Legislature appropriated $15,000 for construction of the school but it was not until 1900 that the Montana State School of Mines opened.
In 1943, the Montana School of Mines was designated a Navel College and a V-12 Navy program was started, which took over the campus. The V-12 program guaranteed an officer replacement pool for the Navy and Marines and gave many young men the opportunity to attend college. The program was disbanded at the end of World War II, having trained 478 students.
In 1945, school president Francis Thompson embarked on a program to modernize the Montana School of Mines’ curricula. To this end he set up a reconversion committee to determine what direction the Mines should take in the post-war years.
Until that point, students elected a major and could not take classes outside of it. The reconversion allowed students to take more technical electives and gave them more options in the humanities and social sciences. The reconversion committee marked a significant milestone in the history of the Montana School of Mines, setting the stage for the creation of non-engineeing programs on campus. In addition to the curriculum changes, the school also elected to change its name in 1965 to the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology, a move which boosted enrollment from 331 in 1965 to 998 in 1971.
The Montana University System was restructured in 1994. Montana Tech become affiliated with the University of Montana and the name officially changed to Montana Tech of The University of Montana. Additionally the College of Technology (formerly Butte Vo-Tech) came under the administrative umbrella of Montana Tech.
