Unforgettable people. Beloved places. Enduring memories. From its
beginning in 1869 as a land-grant institution on the edge of the
prairie, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has expanded the
frontiers of opportunity for nearly three hundred thousand
graduates. This lavishly illustrated volume celebrates Nebraska’s
first 150 years with a look back at the alumni, faculty, and staff
whose work has made an enduring impact on the world, from Willa
Cather’s Pulitzer Prize–winning literature to James Van
Etten’s groundbreaking research in virology. This book also
highlights the iconic buildings and landmarks on campus and the
activities and experiences of students, from the East Campus Dairy
Store and the Daily Nebraskan to a celebration of the Big Red
sensation of Husker athletics, recognizing outstanding coaches and
student-athlete achievements. Dear Old Nebraska U highlights
creative inventions and groundbreaking research, from Charles
Bessey’s botany classes to the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of
Computer Science and Management. The University will continue to
have a profound influence on the state of Nebraska and the rest of
the global community for generations to come. For instance,
initiatives such as Nebraska Innovation Campus—a site dedicated
to ambitious research and technology ventures, including the
Nebraska Food for Health Center and the Daugherty Water for Food
Global Institute—are working to improve the health and well-being
of people worldwide. The Center for Plant Science Innovation
similarly provides research leadership in the use of biomass as an
energy resource, and the National Strategic Research Institute
partners with U.S. Strategic Command to strengthen our national
security. The University’s official motto is “Literis Dedicata
et Omnibus Artibus” (Dedicated to Letters and All the Arts).
Nebraska has fulfilled that aspirational motto and will continue to
be a place of pride for Huskers everywhere. There is no place like
our dear old Nebraska U.
