"The sesquicentennial celebration of the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 2012 prompts a re-examination of the phrase ""the land-grant mission"", a common phrase in the discourse about land-grant institutions, including Cornell. What was this mission and what is it today? And why did and does it matter? Scott J. Peters, Associate Professor of Education at Cornell University and Professor of the Cultural Foundations of Education at Syracuse University, presents a lecture about the Morrill Act, drawing from a study of Justin Smith Morrill's and Jonathan Baldwin Turner's speeches and writings, and the views and experiences of contemporary faculty and staff from Cornell and other land-grant institutions."
