Havens, Greg; Chapman, Perry; Irwin, Bryan – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2008
The Morrill Act of 1862, signed by Abraham Lincoln, established the land grant university with a Solomon-like simplicity: the federal government would deed large tracts of land to establish public colleges in each state.

S. at that time, Germany's new government started its own "New Deal."…
