JUSTIN MORRILL
Card signed by former U.S. Senator from Vermont
Signature: "J. S. Morrill,/Vt.". 3x1¾ card. In 1857, while a U.S. Representative from Vermont, Morrill (1810-1898, born in Strafford, Vermont) became the chief sponsor of the Land Grant Act, which granted land to state colleges. Signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, the act set aside vast tracts of Federal land - 30,000 acres for each member of Congress - as an endowment for each college, which was to be built on the land. Morrill is known as the "Father of the Land Grant Colleges". He served as Representative (1855-1867) and Senator (1867-1898) from Vermont. Lightly toned and soiled. Adhesive residue on verso (no show-through). Otherwise, fine condition.
