Meaning and history
The institution, now known as University of Minnesota, dates back to the middle of the 19th century. That time, the preparatory school of Minnesota was established to prepare young students for admission into college. The main specialization of this school was related to natural arts, philosophy, history, et cetera. During its early years, the institution had financial troubles and lived on donations from the rich men. In 1867, the school was restructured into a land-grant organization. 11 years later, John S. Pillsbury made a huge donation to the school, which allowed it to become a university. Since then, Pillsbury has been nicknamed as ‘Father of the University’.
