History

While doing background for a class project, I tried to find a short summary of the University of Minnesota's history. No dice. Admittedly, I was looking for something really specific, and yet I couldn't find a historical overview anywhere on the U of M's webpage. No "This is when the school started, this is when buildings were built, this is when that dude who's got a freshmen residence hall named after him died." Nothing. I'm sure it's out there, but it's apparently not as easy to find as I thought it would be. Even Wikipedia gave me limited stuff. What's up U of M? Are you trying to hide something? Just kidding, guys... or am I?
