On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act into law, establishing 112 land-grant universities across the United States focused on agriculture and mechanic arts. 

Just 14 years later, Texas A&M would become the first public institution of higher education in Texas. Whoop!
