Frontier University Dreams

"A Tale of Botanists, Bodysnatchers and Bugeaters"

Pioneering the harsh landscape of Nebraska was difficult enough in 1869. Pioneering a new university was almost beyond reason. What was a university? Who should go? What should be taught? There were no guidebooks. No road maps. They were building a university out of little more than hopes and dreams.
