The University of Connecticut originally came into being as a farm school approved by the General Assembly of the State on April 21, 1881. It was to be called the Storrs Agricultural School, after Augustus and Charles Storrs, who donated 170 acres of land and five thousand dollars for its establishment. The school officially opened on October 7, 1881, with a class of twelve men. In 1891, the first women were officially admitted to the school, although it was not until 1920 that a Women's Building, Holcomb Hall, was built on campus. The school went through a series of name changes, becoming Connecticut Agricultural College in 1899, Connecticut State College in 1933, and, finally, the University of Connecticut in 1939.
