| History |
|
Although the UMM officially opened its doors in 1960, the history of what became the current institution reaches back farther. In the 1880s, an American Indian boarding school was formed on the site and run by the Catholic Church and later the US government. The school closed in 1909 and the campus was transferred to the State of Minnesota under the agreement that American Indians would always be admitted free of tuition, the current UMM still follows this agreed policy. In 1910, the University of Minnesota (at the time only the Twin Cities campus), established a boarding school on the campus called the West Central School of Agriculture. In the 1950s, the University of Minnesota began phasing out its regional agricultural school and the people of the Morris region were able to convince the school to develop the campus into a liberal arts college. The current UMM opened in September 1960.
