Campus:
The main campus is located on the banks of the Mississippi
River and boasts more than 250 principal buildings grouped
on a 650-acre plateau. LSU's landscaping was called "a
botanical joy" in its listing among the 20 best campuses
in America in Thomas Gaines' The Campus as a Work of Art.
The live oak trees on LSU's campus have been valued at $36
million. Through the LSU Foundation's "Endow an Oak"
program, individuals or groups are able to endow live oaks
across campus.
History:
The Louisiana General Assembly passed legislation
in 1853 creating a state institution of higher education,
named The Seminary of Learning of the State of Louisiana (French
translation: l'Universite' de l'Etat de la Louisiane) near
Pineville. The institution's first building was completed
in 1859, and classes began in 1860.
In 1861, the school's name was changed to "Louisiana
State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy" (French
translation: le Lycee Scientifique et Militaire de l'Etat
de la Louisiane). At the beginning of the American Civil War
in this year, the school, like the rest of the country, was
deeply affected. Faculty, administration, and students alike
left the school, most to join or support the Confederate Army.
Later that year, Louisiana seceded from the Union, and the
school was shuttered.
