BACKGROUND
Territorial
Governor William Gary Renfrow, who had voted a civil rights bill that
would have disregarded segregation, proposed a reform bill establishing
the university, which was founded as a land grant college through the
Morrill Act of 1890. House
Bill 151 officially established the college on March 12, 1897, as the
Colored Agricultural and
Normal
University
. The purpose of the
university was to instruct "both male and female Colored persons in
the art of teaching various branches which pertain to a common school
education and in such higher education as may be deemed advisable, and
in the fundamental laws of the United States in the rights and duties of
citizens in the agricultural, mechanical and industrial arts." One
stipulation was that the land on which the college would be built would
have to be purchased by the citizens. Picnics, auctions, and bake sales
were held to raise money, and black settlers determined to provide
higher education for their children purchased the land within a year.
On September 3, 1898, the school was opened in a Presbyterian
Church in Langston with an initial budget of $5,000.
