History:
John Bowman founded the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, a publicly chartered department of Kentucky University, as a land-grant university in 1865. In 1869 the first degree from A&M was awarded. In 1878, A&M separated from Kentucky University, which is now Transylvania University. For the new school, the city of Lexington donated a 52-acre park and fair ground, which became UK's present campus. The college was initially for men only, but women were admitted beginning in 1880. The first female degree recipient was Belle Gunn in 1888. The school's name was changed to "State University, Lexington, Kentucky" in 1908, then to "the University of Kentucky" in 1916. The University of Kentucky became racially integrated in 1949 when Lyman T. Johnson, a black man, won a lawsuit to be admitted to the university.

Sports, Clubs, and Traditions:
The University of Kentucky is a founding member of the Southeastern Conference. The Kentucky Wildcats sponsor football, men's & women's basketball, women's volleyball, baseball, softball, men's & women's cross country, men's & women's swimming/diving, women's gymnastics, men's & women's soccer, men's & women's track & field (indoor & outdoor), men's & women's golf, men's & women's tennis, and rifle. The men's soccer team competes in the Mid-American Conference because the SEC does not sponsor that sport for men.

The University of Kentucky men's basketball team is one of the elite NCAA basketball programs, having earned seven NCAA titles and, at the time of this article, more wins than any other school in the history of the sport. Its seven titles have been won by four different coaches; no other Division I school has had more than two coaches win national titles. Kentucky's Rupp Arena has attained legendary status as one of the top 5 most difficult venues in the country for opponents to play.
