Morrill Hall (Oklahoma State University)
Morrill Hall has been the home of various academic departments at Oklahoma State University–Stillwater. Constructed in 1906, it originally housed the agricultural college, administrative offices and the experiment station. In 1914, it was devastated by fire, but was reconstructed in 1915. Today, it houses the OSU English Department.
==History==
In 1902, Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC) President Angelo C. Scott, who served from 1899 – 1908,〔List of Oklahoma State University people〕 proposed the construction of a main building that would house departments in agriculture, administration, and the experiment station. At the time, political maneuvers to keep the capital in Guthrie prohibited any funds from being used for construction of new buildings at a public institution. President Scott traveled to Washington D.C. in January of 1905 to acquire a Congressional exception to this new rule. In his discussions, he referred to the new building as Morrill Hall. The homage to Justin Morrill’s Act, 〔Morrill Land-Grant Acts〕 which established the land-grant system, influenced members in Congress. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Scott-Fields bill on February 16, 1905, to provide funds for the new building at OAMC.
