Colorado State Looks Back at Its Agricultural College Roots
Colorado Agricultural College. which would eventually become Colorado State University, welcomed its first students in 1879.
Imagine attending the college in those early years: No Krazy Karl s, no Road 34, no Horsetooth Reservoir to relax at. You have to admire their desire for an education in agriculture.
Three years after opening, the school still only had two full-time faculty members and only 67 students of which, 24 of them, were women.
Charles Lory took the helm as the President of Colorado Agricultural College in 1909, and it was within his 30+ year term that the school became Colorado A & M in 1935. The Lory Student Center opened in 1962; Lory State Park was dedicated in 1975.
