Excerpt from A Short History of the University

The Legislature of Missouri, in February, 1839, passed two acts providing for the establishment and location of a university. The first of these, the original Geyer Act, provided for a university that was to be the head of a system of pub lic education, modelled after the Virginia system, consisting of a university, academies and colleges, and district schools. This system, too cumbrous to be maintained by so young a state, was modified by an amending act four years later.
