In April 1917, the Alaska Territorial Legislature passed a bill to create the Alaska
Agricultural College and School of Mines. On May 3, 1917, Territorial Gov. John Strong
signed the bill.
On May 3, 2017, ÃÛÌÒTV will re-enact that signing. Chancellor Dana Thomas, ÃÛÌÒTV history
Professor Terrence Cole, ÃÛÌÒTV Alumni Association Vice President Peter Van Flein and
others will reflect on the moment's significance.
