- 37. The Morrill Act of 1862 established the University of Missouri as a land-grant university. The act gave grants of land to states with the provision that proceeds from the sale of those lands be used to establish public colleges or universities to educate citizens in agriculture, home economics, mechanical arts and other practical professions. History
- 38. The Morrill Act of 1890, which established Lincoln University, provided additional funds to ensure that the land grants were open to all citizens without regard to race. In 1887, the Hatch Act established agricultural experiment stations at land-grant universities. The University of Missouri currently conducts research to aid agricultural producers and to ensure a safe food supply at 16 research farms and centers around the state.
- 39. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 established the Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service, a partnership among federal, state and county governments allowing universities to extend their programs to all people — not just students. 4-H became a part of Cooperative Extension in 1927
