Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3969533, member: 1414"] Sure, but there is some lack of foresight involved in that. Virginia brought William & Mary in as a state institution in 1906. Second oldest school in the country to Harvard. Trinity dates to 1823. That sure would have been a sweet school and campus to bring in to the state and build out from. What is now UConn could have stayed the Ag focused school (like K State, Iowa State and Texas A&M all are or were) and become Connecticut State U, and an expanded Trinity could have become UConn. Hartford would be a vastly different and better place had that happened. Ancient history for sure, but the New England states kind of blew it here by relying so totally on private higher ed. Pennsylvania brought both Temple and Pitt in as "state related". [/QUOTE]
