University of Minnesota Duluth
[14][15] In 1896, the City of Duluth donated 6 acres (2.4 ha) of land to serve as a foundation for the school, and the state legislature provided additional funds for the construction costs for the main building in 1899, which was built in 1900.Only three teachers were needed to take charge of the pupils at that time, while five are required now and the number of children seeking admission is greatly in excess of the limit fixed for the several grades.The 1906 Bulletin lists the subjects the students were expected to complete in the two-year course: School Bionomy, Social Science , Psychology and Pedagogy, History and Civics, Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, Geometry, Zoology, Biology, Geography, Domestic Science, Music, English, Latin, Drawing, Manual Training, and others.[27] The "Duluth State Normal School Historic District" was listed for its state-level significance in the themes of architecture and education.[28] It was nominated as Minnesota's most intact state normal school campus, and for the Beaux-Arts architecture of the Main Building.[30] The Legislature narrowly passed the bill and the marriage of the University of Minnesota to Duluth State Teachers College began.The University of Minnesota Duluth has established itself in a number of research areas including ocean, sea and freshwater sciences.In addition, in 1972 a two-year school of medicine was founded at the university to provide the first two years of medical education in a small urban and rural setting.Other UMD facilities include Glensheen Historic Estate,[30][39][40] Chester Park School which houses Minnesota Sea Grant and the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic, the Natural Resources Research Institute, the Research and Field Studies Center, and the Lower Campus which houses the Large Lakes Observatory.An 89-foot (27 m) outdoor sculpture adjacent to the Swenson Science Building makes reference to elements of Duluth's surrounding Native American Ojibwe culture.[46] The new building for the Civil Engineering program is designed to teach students about materials, how they go together, how they age, and how they express the forces inherent in any structure.The exterior expresses the traits of a place where students design, construct, and test structures to withstand stresses and strains.On a rainy day, the building is a demonstration of hydraulics and kinetic energy, as water pours from the scuppers and splashes into the cor-ten steel catch basins.The design has received many accolades, including the 2013 American Institute of Architects Cote Top Ten Green Project Award.[47] The jury stated "This is an example of wedding together buildings that perform well but also are aesthetically rich, and culturally useful, beneficial, and beautiful in their own way.Astronomical programs are delivered with an optomechanical Spitz A3P star machine, a full-dome digital projection system running UniView® software, surround sound, and programmable LRGB LED lighting.One unique feature is the wild rice research laboratory built into the watershed creating a front yard and an outdoor learning space.[54] The collection features artists including David Ericson,[55][56] Gilbert Munger,[57] Eastman Johnson, William Hart, John Twachtman, Homer Dodge Martin, and Childe Hassam.[76] In 2010, the Bulldogs won their second NCAA Division II National Football Championship in a 3-year span and their second in school history beating Delta State University.The Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs women's ice hockey team has won five NCAA Division I national titles: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2008, and 2010.Although the council had financial disagreements involving the membership fee which led to the departure of Alpha Phi Omega in the fall of 2009, they have since rejoined.Men's Sport Clubs include: Lacrosse, Hockey, Rugby, Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, and Volleyball.[81] Outdoor Programs Examples of past trips include: Paddling the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Climbing the Devil’s Tower National Monument in Wyoming, backpacking the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan.[83] University of Minnesota Duluth alumni have made significant contributions in government, business, sciences, athletics, and the arts.Actor Joel McKinnon Miller has acted in many shows and movies, most notably the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
