Michigan Agriculture College School For the Farmers
By: faith Dysard
On February 12th, 1855, Michigan Agriculture College was formed. A building wasn’t complete until 1857, and in May of that year, 81 students enrolled and began their first classes at MAC. The students spent an average of 4 hours a day on the farm. The president was Joseph R. Williams, and the supervision of the school was left up to the Board of Education.
