Beloved places. Enduring memories. From its beginning in 1869 as a land-grant institution on the edge of the prairie, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has expanded the frontiers of opportunity for nearly three hundred thousand graduates. This lavishly illustrated volume celebrates Nebraska's first 150 years with a look back at the alumni, faculty, and staff whose work has made an enduring impact on the world, from Willa Cather's Pulitzer Prize-winning literature to James Van Etten's groundbreaking research in virology. This book also highlights the iconic buildings and landmarks on campus and the activities and experiences of students, from the East Campus Dairy Store and the \u003ci\u003eDaily Nebraskan\u003c\/i\u003e to a celebration of the Big Red sensation of Husker athletics, recognizing outstanding coaches and student-athlete achievements. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDear Old Nebraska U\u003c\/i\u003e highlights creative inventions and groundbreaking research, from Charles Bessey's botany classes to the Jeffrey S.
