Always a place of high ambition, this was one of the first institutions west of the Mississippi River to award doctoral degrees—the first was granted, in physics, in 1896. The University of Nebraska established the world’s first undergraduate psychology laboratory. The discipline of ecology was born here, and the campuses reflect that tradition, being recognized as botanical gardens and arboreta. An early institutional interest in literature and the arts provided the foundations for today’s Prairie Schooner literary magazine, for the University of Nebraska Press, and for theSheldon Museum of Art, which houses one of the world’s most significant collections of 20th century American art
