What is land grant university?
I came across this sentence:
The oldest land grant university in the U.S, the University of Georgia, matriculated its first student in 1785.
So, what kind of university is this one?
Land-grant universities are institutions of higher education in the United States which have been designated by Congress to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890.
