Spirit of the Land Grant Colleges

We've been talking about the Morrill Land Grant Act in class last week, this week, and it will come back again.  If you haven't seen it, go check out the Spirit of the Land Grant Colleges mural that is located above HSSE's main entrance doors.  Look at all the imagery.  Look at who is doing work, and what work is represented, and how it is represented.  It is TOTALLY FASCINATING.
