Sommario/riassunto

The University of Minnesota is unique for its combination of land grant mission and research focus, urban and rural campuses, the size of its student body, and the breadth of its programs, from agricultural extension through organ transplants. This history of the University's past fifty years is a narrative account of the challenges and triumphs that have faced Minnesota's premier institution of higher learning.
