UMC HISTORYGolden Eagle Football

1851 The Minnesota Territorial Laws of 1851 establish the University of Minnesota at what is now the Minneapolis campus and vest its government in a Board of Regents. This statute is approved on February 25, 1851.

1858 On May 11, 1858, Minnesota becomes the thirty-second state admitted to the Union of the United States of America.

1879 The city of Crookston is incorporated. The city is named in honor of Colonel William Crooks, a soldier and railroad builder.

1895 The Minnesota legislature appropriates $30,000 to procure equipment and to construct two experimental research farms, one at Morris and one at Crookston. The Great Northern Railway, under the guidance of James J. Hill , donates 476.61 acres. The Northwest Experiment Station is established.

1905 The Minnesota legislature appropriates $15,000 to establish the Northwest School of Agriculture (NWSA), a regional residential high school with a focus on agriculture.

1906 The NWSA opens its doors to students in the fall of 1906. Thirty-one students are enrolled that fi rst year. The school provides training in "the technical and practical business of agriculture and in the art of homemaking." The term of schooling begins in October and ends in March to accommodate farm students.

At left, the fi rst building on campus (known simply as the "School Building") was built in 1905-06. The fi rst fl oor held the school's dining hall, cooks' quarters, and heating plant; the second fl oor, the assembly room, which was also used as a classroom, a second classroom, and offi ces; third fl oor featured nine dormitory rooms and a bathroom. The girls' dormitory was located at the farm house, at right in the photo. The School Building was later named the Home Econom-ics Building. Dowell Hall now stands where the School Building was located. Note: the photo is taken looking west from roughly where Owen Hall currently stands.

1908 Owen Hall is completed. Agricultural laboratories occupy the fi rst fl oor of the building. Classrooms and labs for business training, farm engineering, and car-pentry are located on the second fl oor.

1909 Eight students comprise the fi rst graduating class of the Northwest School of Agriculture.

1910 Kiehle Building is constructed. The building houses administrative offi ces, the library, and, on the second level, a gymnasium.

1932 History is made in 1932 when the fi rst student of the second generation enrolls at the Northwest School of Agriculture. Dayton Hanson, ’34, of Fertile, Min-nesota, is the fi rst of many sons and daughters of alumni to attend. He is the son of Henry Hanson, who attended from 1908 to 1910. Enrollment continues to increase, and the NWSA is dubbed the "School of Service," equipping graduates for careers in agriculture, home economics, home nursing, and business training related to agriculture.

The Campus in 1933

1963 With the changing demands of the region and in the agriculture industry, it becomes apparent to state offi cials that a college-level technical educational institution is urgently needed. A study by the University of Minnesota Bureau of Field Studies begins an examination of new roles for the Northwest School of Agriculture. University Regents discuss launching a college-level technical institute.

1965 On May 26, 1965, the Minnesota Legislature approves the creation and education appropriations funding for "the support of an Agricultural and Technical Institute - Crookston" to be located on the campus of the Northwest School of Agriculture in Crookston.

On September 17, 1965, Stanley D. Sahlstrom , Ph.D., is appointed director of the University of Minnesota Technical Institute. He is charged with the development of curricular and administrative affairs for the new collegiate program that will begin classes in the fall of 1966. His title as director and chief executive offi cer is subsequently changed to provost in 1970. Sahstrom becomes known as the founding provost of the campus.

1966 Classes begin at the University of Minnesota Technical Institute in September 1966. Associate in Applied Science degrees are offered in three academic divi-sions: Agriculture, Business, and General Studies. Dedication ceremonies for the new college are held on November 30, 1966. That fall 187 students offi cially register, learning to adjust to the new college atmosphere and learning from a faculty of 26. Students of the Northwest School of Agriculture and the U of M "Tech" share the campus through the spring of 1968.

1968 On March 22, 1968, the 60th and fi nal commencement exercises for the Northwest School of Agriculture are held in Kiehle auditorium. Forty-two seniors receive their diplomas from Dr. B. E. Youngquist, superintendent of the Northwest School and Experiment Station. In the photo at right, the "Torch of Education" is passed from NWSA representative David Bohnsack to Ron Tobkin, Technical Institute student, as Director Stanley Sahlstrom (right) looks on. This ceremony marks the passing of educational mission and duties to the new institution. Over its 63-year history, 5,433 graduates completed their high school education at the NWSA.

On Friday, June 7, 1968, commencement ceremonies are held for the fi rst graduating class of the University of Minnesota Technical Institute. Seventy-two “tech” students earn associ-ate’s degrees.

1968 The University of Minnesota Technical Institute is renamed the University of Minnesota Tech-nical College.

1985 Donald G. Sargeant, Ph.D., is appointed provost of the Crookston campus on May 16, 1985. Sargeant fi rst came to campus in 1970 as an assistant professor and worked his way from faculty to administration. The title for all coordinate campus chief executive offi cers is subsequently changed from provost to chancel-lor. Inauguration ceremonies for UMC's second leader are held on December 20, 1985.

1988 University of Minnesota Regents offi cially change the name of the Crookston campus to the University of Minnesota, Crookston.

1992 At its June meeting the U of M Board of Regents gives UMC approval to offer baccalaureate degree programs.

1993 UMC's baccalaureate degree programs are approved by the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board and accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Three academic divisions support a new polytechnic concept: Agricultural Management, Management, and Technical Studies. Classes for the baccalaureate degrees begin that fall.

UMC's technology component is initiated, providing each full-time student and faculty member with a notebook computer and preinstalled software--a fi rst in the nation. UMC becomes known as the original “Laptop U.” Over the next few years, more than 100 colleges and universities visit the campus to learn more about this innovation. Some of these adopt programs modeled closely after UMC’s.

1994 UMC's fi rst Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are awarded at commencement ceremonies. A small group of students had been working on a "3 + 1" degree agreement before UMC had been authorized to offer four-year degrees. In the spring of 1994, twenty-four students receive their B.S. degrees at UMC.

1995 On November 27, 1995, at the Teambackers Banquet, UMC announces that a new name had been chosen for its athletics teams: the Golden Eagles. The name change is meant to help signify UMC’s change in mission from a two-year college to a four-year university.

1998 UMC is ranked among the top four Best Midwest Regional Public Colleges by US News & World Report for the fi rst time.

1999 UMC is accepted into the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) for Division II athletics. UMC is among three newly admitted members, which bring the NSIC to a conference of ten members.

Head CoachGolden Eagle Football

Chuck MollerHead CoachOriginally from Eagle Bend, Minnesota Chuck Moller has built an outstanding football coaching resume over a career that spans more than twenty seasons. Moller brings a history of success on and off the fi eld to an Golden Eagle Football Program desiring to fi nd a spot among the elite teams in the prestigious Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

He served as the Offensive Line Coach at Oklahoma State University on Les Miles’ staff for fi ve seasons during which time the Cowboys returned to national prominence. State appeared in several Bowls including the 2002 Cotton Bowl. The Cowboys also made an Alamo appearance and won the 2002 Houston Bowl. They also shocked the state of Oklahoma by defeating the University of Okla-homa Sooners three consecutive times in “ Bedlam” Bowl played between the two major Universities in Oklahoma. In 2002, the Cowboy Offensive Line under his guidance keyed a rushing attack that fi nished second in the BCS division in team rushing.

Prior to joining the Cowboy staff he served on Ty Willingham’s Stanford University Staff in a similar capacity. The Cardinals shook-up the PAC-10 in 1999 by winning the conference championship and the right to represent the Con-ference in 2000 Rose Bowl.

Before joining Willingham with the Cardinal he spent fi ve seasons on Dennis Franchione’s New Mexico coaching staff. Moller served as the Special Teams Coordinator and Tight Ends Coach for the Lobos where several of his Special Team units achieved National prominence. His 1995 Kick-Off Return unit was ranked number one in the nation while his 1993 Punt Unit achieved a similar ranking.

Previous to being his experience at the University of New Mexico he served as the Assistant Head Coach at South-west Texas State University (recently re-named Texas State University).

At the Division Two level Moller coached teams that won three National Championships the fi rst at North Dakota State University, and then Pittsburg State in Kansas. The Gorilla Coaching Staff that won two of those Championships in-cluded current Minnesota Gopher Head Coach Jerry Kill.

A consistent trademark of the programs in which Moller has been associated has been great success in the classroom evidenced by the thirty-one Academic All-Americans that he has coached. As a true believer in academic integrity, Moller can also lay claim to having earned those same Academic All-American laurels as a college athlete.

On the playing fi eld six athlete’s that he has directly coached have received Kodak All-American honors while he has coached or recruited thirty current or former NFL play-ers.

Moller is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, Mor-ris where he earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education and certifi cation to teach both elementary and secondary physical education. In addition, he pursued graduate work in athletic administration and physical ed-

History of the NSICGolden Eagle Football

From its modest origin as a six-team alliance nearly eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has ma-tured into a 14-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affi liation in NCAA Division II.

The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today.Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (NE) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Up-per Iowa University in 2006, and Augustana College, in 2008.

Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth later left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well. In July of 2012, the NSIC will again expand with the addition of Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls, bring the league to 16 members for the 2012-13 academic season.

In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercol-legiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun Conference (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979.

Before NSIC affi liates became certifi ed for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995, its member institutions fi lled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualifi ed student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individual cham-pionships.

The NSIC celebrates its 80th season this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning nine national titles in the last six years. Winona State men claimed NCAA II Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victories.

Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of four consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season opening loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 fi nish, a third straight national crown and a winning streak of 74 straight matches. In 2010 the Golden Bear extended that win streak to 75 before dropping their second match of the season. They started 2010 with a 10-4 record before ripping off 22 straight wins on their way to their fourth straight national title.

In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarships by league rule, swept a fi eld of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Two years later in 2010 the Bulldogs repeated that feat, going 15-0 again to win the national championship. The Bulldogs became the fi rst NCAA DII football squad to win two national championships with undefeated records.

Minnesota State added more luster to the league by fi nishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory over Franklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game.

Since 2000, the NSIC has also participated in Mineral Water Bowl. Hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo., the Mineral Water Bowl matches the highest-fi nishing teams from the NSIC and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Asso-ciation (MIAA) not selected for the NCAA Division II football playoffs. Winona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, the Warriors, fi rst-ever NCAA II post-season win in 2000.In addition, NSIC student-athletes have made a major splash nationally as well, collecting a batch of individual titles. Concordia setter Maggie McNamara was honored as the NCAA Division II Honda Women’s Athlete of the Year, the latest NSIC representa-tive decorated with national Player of the Year honors.

The NSIC has also had three athletes awarded with the NCAA Elite 88 Award, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the fi nals site for each of the NCAA’s 88 championships. Earning the award were Kendra Huettl (Minnesota State, Softball, 2011), Matt Braithwaite (Augustana College, Cross Country, 2010) and Lauren Brown (Winona State, Outdoor Track and Field, 2010).

Member schools continue to emphasize the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. The NSIC is committed to providing rewarding experiences for its student-athletes, and while the challenges that loom are sizable, indeed, the NSIC is surely well positioned for the future.
