Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm was established on March 22, 1858 by the legislature of the State of Iowa.

On September 11, 1862, Iowa became the first state to accept the provisions of the Morrill Act.

Founding and Early Years

It was not until March 17, 1869 that the college was dedicated and President Welch was inaugurated.

This makes ISU the first Land-Grant institution to be co-educational from its inception.

President Welch’s wife Mary established what is thought to be the first Domestic Science (now Human Sciences) program in the United States.

Founding and Early Years (cont.)

The School of Veterinary Science was established in 1879, making it the first state-sponsored veterinary school in the country.

During the first year at Iowa Agriculture College and Model Farm, room rent and tuition were free to all in-state students.

Much of the early campus was constructed and landscaped by student labor.

Founding and Early Years (cont.)

During the early years, students were expected to obey the twenty-eight rules of the college.

Examples- ◦ A student who arrived late did not eat.◦ Students were also required to wear slippers in

the dining room. ◦ Students were fined $0.10 if they did not eat

everything on their plate.

Founding and Early Years (cont.)

Edgar W. Stanton, donator of the bells, was a graduate of the first class in 1872.

He donated the bells in memorial of his late wife, Margaret MacDonald Stanton.

The Campanile was built in 1897 and completed in 1898.

These bells were the first scientifically tuned chimes in the world.

The fiftieth bell was installed in 1967.

The Stanton’s and the Construction of the Campanile, 1897

The Hub was the station for the 4-wheel steam engine called the Dinky that ran between the school to downtown Ames.

The Hub was used from 1801-1907. The Electric trolley replaced the 4-wheel

steam engine and ran from 1907-1929. The Hub was remodeled in 1987.

The Hub

This team earned the nickname “Cyclones” when they soundly defeated Northwestern University 36-0.

“STRUCK BY A CYCLONE- It comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town” was the headline in the Chicago Tribune the day after the Northwestern defeat.

The IAC on the vest of the uniforms stood for Iowa Agricultural College.

Athletic Beginnings at ISU

Early Varsity sweaters had an ‘A’ for Ames. It wasn’t until 1929 that the ‘A’ was changed to ‘I’ on the football uniforms.

Cy was born in 1954 and made his first appearance at Homecoming.

Original school colors were gold, silver, and black.

Gold – representing agriculture’s golden harvest.

Silver- representing engineering.

Athletic Beginnings at ISU

Black – representing the veterinary department.

The joke at the time was that the veterinarians “killed but never cured.”

Cardinal and Gold were adopted in 1899 The athletic counsel said “it was

impossible to use (the former) colors in the dyeing of a sweater.”

Athletic Beginnings at ISU

Music courses were first offered in 1869. The Department of Music was formally

recognized in 1888 as an academic program of the University.

In 1891 the marching band first got uniforms.

In 1967, a student could earn a degree in music for the first time.

Bands at ISU

The marching band used to earn money by cleaning up the stadium after games. One afternoon, a few band members were changing out of their uniforms into work clothes in the football locker in the Olson building. In walks head football coach Earle Bruce. He looked around the locker room and saw all of the non-football players and said “Hey! You can’t change in here! This is the Varsity locker room!”

ISUCF‘V’MB

At this time, band member Tim Jensen looks at Earle and says, “Yes we can! We’re the Varsity Marching Band!” That was good enough for Earle. And it stuck.

The actual date of this occurrence was October 21, 1978. It was after cleaning the stadium following the ISU v. Oklahoma game, and before boarding busses going to Kansas City in order to play for a Chiefs v. Cleveland Browns game the next day.

ISUCF’V’MB Cont.

In 1898 the name was changed from Iowa Agriculture College and Model Farm to Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts.

On July 4, 1959 the name was changed again, this time to Iowa State University of Science and Technology.
