==History==

===Early years===
It was founded first as the '''Colorado Agricultural College'''. Arising from the [[Morrill Land-Grant Acts|Morrill Act of 1862]], the act to create the university was signed by the [[Colorado Territory]] governor [[Edward M. McCook]] in 1870. While a board of 12 trustees was formed to "purchase and manage property, erect buildings, establish basic rules for governing the institutions and employ buildings," the near complete lack of funding by the territorial legislature for this mission severely hampered progress.

The first ((convert|30|acre|ha|adj=on)) parcel of land for the campus was deeded in 1871 by Robert Dazell. In 1872, the Larimer County Land Improvement Company contributed a second ((convert|80|acre|adj=on)) parcel. The first $1000 to erect buildings was finally allocated by the territorial legislature in 1874. The funds were not, however, and trustees were required to find a matching amount, which they eventually obtained from local citizens and businesses.

[[File:Colorado Agricultural College Campus, 1920.jpg|thumb|right|Colorado Agricultural College Campus, 1920 with the Oval, Physics Building, and Guggenheim Hall showing]]
Among the institutions which donated matching funds was the local [[National Grange|Grange]], which was heavily involved in the early establishment of the university. As part of this effort, in the spring of 1874, Grange No. 6 held a picnic and planting event at the corner of College Avenue and West Laurel Street, and later plowed and seeded 20 acres (80,000 m<sup>2</sup>) of wheat on a nearby field. Within several months, the university's first building, a ((convert|16|ft|m|adj=on))-by-24-foot red brick building nicknamed the "Claim Shanty" was finished, providing the first tangible presence of the institution in Fort Collins.<ref>Jim Hansen, "Democracy's College in the Centennial State," Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Co, 1977, 25.</ref>

After [[Colorado]] achieved statehood in 1876, the territorial law establishing the college was required to be reauthorized. In 1877, the [[Colorado General Assembly|state legislature]] created the eight-member State Board of Agriculture to govern the school. Early in the 21st century, the governing board was renamed the Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System. The legislature also authorized a railroad right-of-way across the campus and a [[mill levy]] to raise money for construction of the campus' first main building, Old Main, which was completed in December 1878. Despite wall cracks and other structural problems suffered during its first year, the building was opened in time for the welcoming of the first five students on September 1, 1879, by university president [[Elijah Evan Edwards]]. Enrollment grew to 25 by 1880.<ref>((cite book |title=Where to educate, 1898–1899.

During the first term at '''Colorado Agricultural College''' in fall 1879, the school functioned more as a college-prep school than a college because of the lack of trained students. Consequently, the first course offerings were arithmetic, English, U.S. history, natural philosophy, horticulture and farm economy. Students also labored on the college farm and attended daily chapel services. The spring term provided the first true college-level instruction. Despite his accomplishments, Edwards resigned in spring 1882 because of conflicts with the State Board of Agriculture, a young faculty member, and with students.<ref>Hansen, James E. ''Democracy's College in the Centennial State: A History of Colorado State University''. Colorado State University: Fort Collins 1977, pg. 51.</ref> The board's next appointee as president was Charles Ingersoll, a graduate and former faculty member at Michigan State Agricultural College, who began his nine years of service at CAC with just two full-time faculty members and 67 students, 24 of whom were women.

====President Charles Ingersoll====
Agricultural research would grow rapidly under Ingersoll. The [[Hatch Act of 1887]] provided federal funds to establish and maintain experiment stations at land-grant colleges. Ainsworth Blount, CAC's first professor of practical agriculture and manager of the College Farm, had become known as a "one man experiment station", and the Hatch Act expanded his original station to five Colorado locations.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 85</ref> The curriculum expanded as well, introducing coursework in engineering, animal science, and liberal arts. New faculty members brought expertise in botany, horticulture, entomology, and irrigation engineering. CAC made its first attempts at animal science during 1883–84, when it hired veterinary surgeon George Faville. Faville conducted free weekly clinics for student instruction and treatment of local citizen's diseased or injured animals.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 77</ref> Veterinary science at the college languished for many years following Faville's departure in 1886.

President Ingersoll believed the school neglected special programs for women. Despite the reluctance of the institution's governing board, CAC began opening the door to liberal arts in 1885, and by Ingersoll's last year at CAC the college had instituted a "Ladies Course" that offered junior and senior women classes in drawing, [[stenography]] and typewriting, foreign languages, landscape gardening and psychology.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 80</ref> Ingersoll's belief in liberal yet practical education conflicted with the narrower focus of the State Board of Agriculture, and a final clash in April 1891 led to his resignation. In 1884, CAC would celebrate the commencement of its first three graduates.

====Professor Louis G. Carpenter====

One of the early notable professors was [[Louis George Carpenter]] (March 28, 1861 – September 12, 1935) who was happy to be called "Professor Carp."

Carpenter was one of the foremost leading experts on irrigation systems. During his life he investigated irrigation systems not only in North America but also in Canada and Europe. This led to his engineering consulting and water law. He became Colorado's State Engineer which he held for several years while still teaching.<ref name=Papers/>

In 1911, Carpenter left academics and established an engineering consulting firm in [[Denver]], Colorado.

===Turn of the 20th century===
[[File:CACAdvt.jpg|thumb|right|Colorado Agricultural College advertisement]]
Alston Ellis encountered limited funding and decided rapidly in 1895 to reduce the number of Experiment Stations. Female students grew in number from 44 in 1892 to 112 in 1896, and by fall 1895, the college's new domestic-economy program was in place.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 110</ref> [[American football|Football]] had a one-year stint at CAC in 1893, but Ellis was not a supporter of extracurricular activities and was especially hostile towards football.

Barton Aylesworth became the school's fourth president in 1899, and the combination of his non-confrontational style with the presence of the vocal Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers Association on the governing board allowed ranching and farming interests to take the college's agricultural programs to new heights, greatly influencing the development of the entire school. Initially, the influence of [[ranching]] interests brought tremendous progress to CAC's agricultural programs. Enrollment quadrupled, studies in veterinary medicine were re-established, and CAC's Experiment Station benefited from lobbying that finally secured state appropriations. Eventually, conflicts with agricultural interests may have prompted Aylesworth to begin promoting a more balanced curriculum at CAC, which he then fought hard to defend. The conflict also led him to tire and negotiate his resignation.<ref>Hanses, James E. ''Colorado State University Campus: Ringing Grooves of Change, 1870–1973''. Colorado State University: Fort Collins, 1973. Pg 16</ref>

Aylesworth was a big supporter of extracurricular activities. Football returned to the college in fall 1899, but [[baseball]] was the school's most popular sport. In 1903, the women's basketball team won CAC's first unofficial athletic championship, culminating with a victory over the [[University of Colorado at Boulder|University of Colorado]].<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 143</ref> New clubs, fraternities, and sororities also emerged. By 1905, the school had a fledgling music department, which two years later became the Conservatory of Music.

==== President Charles Lory ====
Taking office in 1909, CAC President Charles Lory oversaw the school's maturation and reconciled longstanding conflicts between supporters of a broad or specialized curriculum.<ref>Hansen, ''Colorado State University Campus''. 16</ref> He embarked on a demanding schedule of personal appearances to make Colorado Agricultural College known as an institution that served the state's needs. Another of Lory's notable achievements was putting the school on solid fiscal ground, meeting rising construction costs and freeing the institution of debt.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 202</ref>

The onset of [[World War I]] influenced all aspects of CAC, but nowhere was the impact more apparent than in the institution's programs for farmers. [[World War I]] created demands for American agricultural products, and CAC established new food production committees, information services and cultivation projects to help improve food production and conservation in Colorado. [[World War I]] also drew men from campus to Europe's battlefields. In June 1916, the National Defense Act created the [[Reserve Officers Training Corps]]. A few months later CAC applied to establish an [[ROTC]] unit in [[Fort Collins]] and resurrected a defunct [[National Guard of the United States|National Guard]] unit on campus.((citation needed|date=September 2020))

During the early 1930s, CAC's community-wide activities were greatly influenced by the [[Great Depression]] and the [[Dust Bowl]]. The Extension Service organized relief programs for inhabitants of Eastern Colorado, of whom a survey found 20,000 to be urgently in need of food and helped sustain cropland threatened by pests and drought.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 211.</ref> President Lory sought to help [[Colorado]] farmers by pushing for major tax reforms to relieve them of high tax burdens and played a significant role in a 1930s project that supplied [[irrigation]] water for agricultural development in Eastern Colorado.

Lory and the State Board had challenges of their own back on campus. In response to claims that the university was falling behind national standards, the board retired or demoted several senior professors and administrators deemed past the peak of their proficiency and hired new doctorate-holding personnel while consolidating sections of lecture courses.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 313</ref> A student petition led to the governing-board to change the college's name to more accurately reflect the diversity of its academic programs, and in 1935 the school became the '''Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts''', or '''Colorado A&M''' for short. After 31 years of leadership, President Lory announced his retirement in 1938.

===From World War II into the modern era===
Soon after [[Pearl Harbor]], Colorado A&M began to look like a military post, with the college serving as many as 1,500 servicemen.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 348</ref> New President Roy Green tried to prepare for the sudden departure of students and arrival of servicemen by improving ROTC facilities and introducing military-training programs. Although servicemen filed onto campus, student enrollment at Colorado A&M, 1,637 in fall 1942, dropped to 701 by fall 1943, and female students outnumbered their male counterparts for the first time.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College.'' 349</ref> When the war ceased in 1945, soldiers returning from Europe and the Pacific filled U.S. higher-education institutions. Nearly 1,040 students attended the college in fall 1946, and about 1,600 students enrolled by spring 1946. Close to 80 former "Aggies" died in [[World War II]] including football talent Lewis "Dude" Dent.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College.'' 350</ref>

====Colorado A&M becomes a university under Bill Morgan====
Colorado A&M shed its image as a narrow technical college and became a university in appearance and title during the 1950s under President Bill Morgan. Providing adequate student housing for an increasing number of youth approaching college age and improving cramped instructional facilities were among the first tests of Morgan's leadership. He responded, and five new residence halls were completed between 1953 and 1957.<ref>Hansen, ''Colorado State University Campus''. 37</ref>

Academic offerings grew to include advanced degrees. The State Board of Agriculture approved a doctoral degree in civil engineering in 1951, and three years later allowed other qualified departments to offer doctorates. Morgan believed students earning this advanced degree should hold it from a university, and so began a campaign to upgrade Colorado A&M to university status. In 1957, the [[Colorado General Assembly]] approved the new name of Colorado State University.<ref>Hansen, ''Colorado State University Campus''. 32</ref>

====1960s: Student activism====
Colorado State became a scene of intense student activism during the 1960s and early 1970s. The reduction of strict campus regulations for women was among the early targets of student activists, coming to the forefront in 1964 when a 21-year-old female student moved into unapproved off-campus housing to accommodate her late hours as editor of the student newspaper.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 447</ref>

The civil-rights movement on campus also picked up momentum and visibility. In spring 1969, shortly before Morgan's retirement, Mexican American and African American student organizations presented a list of demands to university officials primarily urging increased recruitment of minority students and employees. The demonstrators' occupation of the Administration Building continued to the front lawn of Morgan's home. Students and university representatives took their concerns to state officials, but Colorado legislators rejected a subsequent university request for funds to support minority recruitment.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 462</ref>

Anti-military protest took place in dramatic form at Colorado State from 1968 to 1970. On March 5, 1968, several hundred students and faculty with anti-war sentiments marched to Fort Collins' downtown War Memorial and wiped blood on a placard tied to the memorial. Hecklers and blockaders created such a disturbance that police had to disperse the non-marchers. In May 1970, as campus peace activists held the second day of a student strike in the gymnasium in response to the U.S. invasion of [[Cambodia]] and the student deaths at [[Kent State University]], one or more arsonists set Old Main ablaze, destroying the 92-year-old cornerstone of Colorado State.<ref>Hansen, ''Democracy's College''. 469</ref>

====2000s: CSU under President Penley====
In his welcoming address for the fall 2007 semester, former CSU President Larry Edward Penley called for CSU to set the standard for the 21st century public land-grant [[research university]].<ref name="president.colostate.edu">[http://www.president.colostate.edu/index.asp?page=speech_2007_fall_address President Penley's Fall 2007 Address] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517212718/http://www.president.colostate.edu/index.asp?page=speech_2007_fall_address |date=May 17, 2008 )) Fort Collins, Colorado. September 6, 2007</ref> He identified as the heart of this ideal the contribution to the prosperity and quality of life of the local and international community, in part through fostering relationships and collaborations with federal research partners, the business community and key industries.<ref>''Setting the Standard for the 21st century: Strategic Directions. Strategic Plan 2006–2015''. Office of the President, Colorado State University. February 2006. pg 2</ref> A part of this approach was Colorado State's Supercluster research model, designed to utilize interdisciplinary, issue-based research on pressing global issues in which the university has particular expertise and connect research results to the marketplace. Initial Superclusters in [[infectious disease]] and in [[cancer research]] were launched. As well, new residence halls were constructed according to national [[green building]] standards,<ref>Hughes, Trevor. "CSU Trying to Conserve Amid Building Boom." ''Fort Collins Coloradoan''.</ref> and a sustainability advisory committee was charged to coordinate green activities at Colorado State.<ref>''Comment Quarterly''. Colorado State University. Fall 2007. Issue 2, Volume 1. pg 11.</ref>

While maintaining historic ties to local agriculture, administration officials also emphasized the desire to better connect with the local community.<ref>''Setting the Standard for the 21st century: Strategic Directions. Strategic Plan 2006–2015''. Office of the President, Colorado State University. February 2006. pg 10</ref> As such, CSU became party to UniverCity, a multi-organization initiative that links the school with city government, community and business associations to expand and synchronize working relationships.<ref>''Comment Querterly'', pg 12.</ref> Another goal set by the university was to improve undergraduate education. Penley stated that essential tasks were access and graduation rates, particularly for qualified low-income and minority students, and an education international in scope suited to a global economy.<ref>''Setting the Standard for the 21st Century''. pg 4</ref>

Penley resigned in 2008.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2008/11/05/csu-president-penley-resigns/|title=CSU president Penley resigns|date=November 5, 2008|access-date=May 25, 2022|archive-date=May 25, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220525170444/https://www.denverpost.com/2008/11/05/csu-president-penley-resigns/|url-status=live))</ref>

==Campus==
[[File:CSULagoon.jpg|thumb|alt=View of the Lagoon and Rec Center|The Lagoon, Rec Center, and Intramural Fields]]
Colorado State University is located in [[Fort Collins]], Colorado, a mid-size city of approximately 142,000 residents at the base of the [[Front Range]] of the southern [[Rocky Mountains]]. The university's ((convert|583|acre|km2|1|adj=on)) main campus is located in central Fort Collins and includes a ((convert|101|acre|km2|adj=on)) veterinary teaching hospital. CSU is also home to a ((convert|1438|acre|km2|1|adj=on)) Foothills Campus, a ((convert|1575|acre|km2|1|adj=on)) agricultural campus, and the ((convert|1177|acre|km2|1|adj=on)) Pingree Park mountain campus. CSU uses ((convert|4043|acre|km2|1)) for research centers and Colorado State Forest Service stations outside of Larimer County.<ref name="Colorado State University Fact Book 2010–2011"/>

===Main campus===
At the heart of the CSU campus lies the Oval, an expansive green area ((convert|2065|ft|m)) around, lined with 65 [[American Elm]] trees.<ref>[http://www.tour.colostate.edu/oval.html?general-1 Campus Tour, The Oval.] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517231200/http://www.tour.colostate.edu/oval.html?general-1 |date=May 17, 2008 )) Colorado State University website. Retrieved November 8, 2010</ref> Designed in 1909, the Oval remains a center of activity and a major landmark at CSU. The Administration Building, constructed in 1924, faces the Oval from the south end, while several academic and administrative buildings occupy its [[perimeter]]. The Music Building, once the university library, currently houses the Institute for Learning and Teaching, which provides academic and career counseling as well as other student-focused programs. The music department moved to the University Center for the Arts upon its opening in 2008. [[File:CSU The Oval.jpg|thumb|left|The Oval, at the heart of the CSU campus]] At the northwest corner of the Oval is Ammons Hall, formerly the women's recreational center and now home to the University Welcome Center. Just to the east of Ammons stands Guggenheim Hall, which currently houses the Department of Manufacturing Technology and Construction Management. The building was constructed in 1910 as a gift from U.S. Senator [[Simon Guggenheim]] to promote the study of home economics,<ref>((Cite web |last=yongli |date=December 19, 2016 |title=Guggenheim Hall |url=https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/guggenheim-hall |access-date=October 13, 2022 |website=coloradoencyclopedia.org |language=en-US))</ref> and was recently renovated according to [[green building]] standards.

Another campus focal point is the main plaza, around which can be found Lory Student Center and Morgan Library, as well as several academic buildings. The Lory Student Center, named for former CSU President Charles Lory, houses Student Media, numerous organization offices, Student Government, and spaces to eat, drink and study. The Morgan Library was originally constructed in 1965 and named for former CSU President William E. Morgan. Following the flood of '97, this facility went through an extensive improvement project that included an addition to the main building and a renovation of the existing structure, with works completed in 1998. Current holdings include more than 2 million books, bound journals, and government documents.<ref name="Colorado State University Fact Book 2010–2011">((cite web|url=http://www.ir.colostate.edu/factbook-fb.html|title=Colorado State University Fact Book 2010–2011|access-date=August 4, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930010120/http://www.ir.colostate.edu/factbook-fb.html|archive-date=September 30, 2011|url-status=dead))</ref> Morgan Library also contains a ((Convert|13000|sqft|abbr=on)) addition called the Study Cube that seats 80 additional patrons.

=== Mascots ===
((more citations needed section|date=November 2019))
Over the years Colorado State University has displayed several mascots. An unknown black bear cub, often seen wearing sweaters, appeared at football games from 1909 to 1919. Purchased by a student in 1912, a bulldog named Peanuts would roam around campus. He served as a secondary mascot and was fed peanuts by the student body. On April 28, 1918, Peanuts was found poisoned.<ref>((Cite web |last=McKissick |first=Nathaniel |date=October 4, 2021 |title=McKissick: Peanuts the dog — gone but not forgotten |url=https://collegian.com/articles/opinion/2021/10/category-opinion-mckissick-peanuts-the-dog-gone-but-not-forgotten/ |access-date=2023-12-30 |website=The Rocky Mountain Collegian))</ref> This was alleged to have been done by students of the [[University of Colorado Boulder]], but has not been proven. After Peanuts' death, Glenn Morris, an alum of Colorado State University donated another bulldog named Gallant Defender to the university. The first ram to become the mascot of Colorado State University was Buck, introduced in 1946. Colorado State University's mascot remains the ram to this day. It was during a basketball game half time contest that CAM the Ram became the name of the beloved mascot.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.colostate.edu/features/history-mascots.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081010180340/http://www.colostate.edu/features/history-mascots.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 10, 2008|title=Home – SOURCE|website=SOURCE))</ref>

====Student media====
The ''Rocky Mountain Collegian'' is CSU's student-run daily newspaper. The paper has a fully functional website and a mobile application, and students have complete control over editorial decisions. The paper was founded in 1891, and was a weekly publication by the 1930s. During the 1940s and 1950s, the paper earned disrepute in the local community for its unpopular support of women's rights and anti-racism stance.<ref>[http://studentmedia.colostate.edu/collegianhistory.cfm History of the Collegian] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080820021822/http://studentmedia.colostate.edu/collegianhistory.cfm |date=August 20, 2008 )). CSU Student Media Page. Retrieved March 3, 2008.</ref> By the 1970s, the Collegian was consistently publishing daily. Editorial quality and financial support have varied over the years, at times rising among elite college newspapers and at others struggling to publish. During the 1990s, the paper was twice selected as one of the top 12 daily student papers in the country.<ref>[http://studentmedia.colostate.edu/collegianhistory.cfm History of the Collegian] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080820021822/http://studentmedia.colostate.edu/collegianhistory.cfm |date=August 20, 2008 )).

KCSU is Colorado State's student-run station, with a format focusing on alternative and college rock music, including [[indie rock]], punk, hip-hop, and electronic music. News, sports, and weather updates along with talk programs and specialty shows round out the programming schedule. Broadcasting at 10,000 watts, KCSU is among the larger college stations in the country, reaching approximately 250,000 listeners.<ref>[http://www.kcsufm.com/ About KCSU] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514070049/http://kcsufm.com/ |date=May 14, 2008 )) KCSU Online.

KCSU first began broadcasting in 1964 as a station owned, operated, and financed by students. Following a long period as a professional station, KCSU again became student-run in 1995, at which time the current format was adopted. As with the Collegian and CTV, KCSU was hit hard by the 1997 flood, and for a time was forced to broadcast from remote locations. Now back in its original Lory Student Center location, KCSU has benefited from revamped production facilities and updated equipment.

CTV is CSU's student-run television station, that allows students to hone their media skills- reporting, writing, producing, shooting, editing- in an educational environment. The station is a winner of fourteen Rocky Mountain Collegiate Media Association awards and a Student Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Heartland Chapter.<ref>[http://studentmedia.colostate.edu/ctv.cfm CTV Student Media Page] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080704184114/http://studentmedia.colostate.edu/ctv.cfm |date=July 4, 2008 )).

Student-run magazine College Avenue was founded in 2005 with the goal, as put forth by its founding editors, of giving students a new forum to address controversial issues affecting the campus community from their vantage point.<ref>[http://collegeave.colostate.edu/archive/Oct05/editor.html Letter from the Editor, Fall 2005 Issue.] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060910054545/http://collegeave.colostate.edu/archive/Oct05/editor.html |date=September 10, 2006 )) Accessed March 1, 2008.</ref> Since its first issue in the fall 2005, the magazine is released quarterly.

====Greek life====
Greek life at Colorado State began in the fall of 1915. Currently, 10% of undergraduates join one of CSUs 19 [[fraternities]] and 14 [[sororities]].<ref name="State University Fact Book 2008. Pg 5"/> The CSU Inter-Fraternity Council acts as the governing body for the 19 fraternities, each with a delegate representative. Similarly, the CSU Panhellenic Council governs the sororities. CSU Greek organizations are involved in several philanthropic activities around campus, among them CSUnity, Cans around the Oval, Habitat for Humanity, and RamRide. The governing bodies recently raised $25,000 towards the sponsorship of a [[Habitat for Humanity]] home.<ref>[http://csugreeks.colostate.edu/currentstudents.aspx Chapters and Councils, CSU Greek System] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070719122248/http://csugreeks.colostate.edu/currentstudents.aspx |date=July 19, 2007 )).
