Most Southern schools were all male and based on military even if some look nothing like that today. Using Kentucky as an example
Spun off from private school (Transyivania)
Lexington was heavy military back then, and influenced school (all male)
Became an A&M under the Morril Act
Evolved from a state college to a national university
Admitted women
Admitted blacks
Now as much research as education
Now an international University
