Penn State's roots trace back to 1855 with the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania. This agricultural school, championed by Congressman James Irvin, aimed to improve farming practices through science. Just eight years later, it became Pennsylvania's land-grant college, expanding its mission to serve the public good.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Penn State transformed. Curriculums diversified beyond agriculture, athletics gained prominence, and outreach programs extended the university's influence.
