Colorado State University is a land-grant institution classified as a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University-Extensive. CSU was founded as the Colorado Agricultural College in 1870, six years before the Colorado Territory gained statehood. It was one of 68 land-grant colleges established under the Morrill Act of 1862. The doors opened to a freshman class of 19 students in 1879. In 1935, the school became the Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, or Colorado A&M, and was renamed Colorado State University in 1957.

The Colorado State University Women’s Association is a University affiliated organization with membership wide open to any person who cares to join. The organization has had a history of active participation in the life of Colorado State. In 1910, the first women’s association was formed. In 1927, Carrie R. Lory, wife of the college president, formally organized a group of university women. Mrs. Lory was most interested in framing the group for the purpose of providing financial assistance to students. For many years she served as chair of the Loan Fund and was instrumental in getting friends of the college and members of the Fort Collins community to contribute.

According to the Associated Press, Colorado State University officials are investigating how a scarecrow that mocked homosexuals showed up on a homecoming parade float while a gay man lay dying in a local hospital. The parade took place Saturday. That same day, Matthew Shepard lay dying in Poudre Valley Hospital five miles across town. The bicyclists who found Matthew at first mistook him for a scarecrow. The scarecrow appeared on a float sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and Alpha Chi Omega sorority. Nicholas Haws, homecoming chairman for Pi Kappa Alpha, said the scarecrow was supposed to be in the uniform of the Tulsa University's Golden Hurricane, Colorado State's opponents in Saturday's football game. He said someone vandalized the float Friday night, pinning a sign saying ``I am Gay'' and an anti-gay epithet on the figure. He said the scarecrow was removed but someone placed it back on the float prior to Saturday's parade.
