The University of Arizona was the State’s first land grant university. The first classes convened on October 1, 1891 with an enrollment of thirty-two students and 6 instructors in the original campus building now known as Old Main. The original schools were Agriculture and Mines.The first Master’s Degrees were awarded in 1902 and the first Ph.D. in 1922. The first woman to receive a PhD was in 1935 - 34 years before Yale or Princeton admitted female undergraduates. Since then, three distinguished University of Arizona faculty have received the Nobel Prize: Dr. Willis E. Lamb Ph.D. (Physics, 1955), Dr. Nicolass Bloembergen Ph.D. (Physics, 1981), and Dr. Roy J. Glauber (Physics, 2005).
