The University of Missouri and the University of Kansas hold one of the oldest and one of the most competitive rivalries of

any two schools in history.

History of the Columns

The traditional symbol of the University of Missouri is the row of six Ionic columns. The Columns once supported the portico of Academic Hall, the first building erected on campus. Academic Hall was built between 1840 and 1843 from plans drawn by A. Stephen Hills, designer of the Missouri State Capitol. It consisted of a domed central section of three stories with two wings and housed both educational and administrative facilities. On Jan. 9, 1892, Academic Hall was destroyed by fire and the Columns were all that remained.

The Mizzou football program has been traditionally successful. They have had 15 Conference Championships. They have won 12 bowl games.

The Mizzou basketball program has been even better appearing in 20 NCCA tournaments. They have won the big 12 tournament twice.

Financial AidDuring the 2010-11 academic year, four out of five Mizzou students received some form of financial assistance through grants, scholarships, loans or other financial aid. Those who received financial assistance (excluding loans):15,026 undergraduates (average package $6,125)3,925 graduate students (average package $8,927)

The University of Missouri announced that it would officially be leaving the Big 12 Conference for the Southeastern Conference, effective July 1, 2012.The SEC voted unanimously to allow Missouri into the conference for next season, according to The Associated Press."The Southeastern Conference is a highly successful, stable, premier athletic conference that offers exciting opportunities for the University of Missouri. Missouri's addition made it the 14th school in the SEC after the addition of Texas A&M, which announced that it will leave the Big 12 for the SEC in late September. The two schools would be the first additions to the SEC since 1991, when Arkansas and South Carolina joined the conference to bring it to its current format of 12 teams.
