Louisiana State University Agricultural and Mechanical College had its origin in several land grants made by the United States government in 1806, 1811, and 1827 for use as a seminary of learning. It was founded as a military academy and is still today steeped in military tradition, giving rise to the school's nickname "The Ole War Skule". In 1853, the Louisiana General Assembly established the Seminary of Learning of the State of Louisiana near Pineville in Rapides Parish in Central Louisiana. Modeled initially after Virginia Military Institute, the institution opened with five professors and nineteen cadets on January 2, 1860, with Major, later Colonel, William Tecumseh Sherman as superintendent.
The Old LSU Site, the school's original location, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[11]

The original site is by the US Forestry compound across from the VA in Pineville. There’s a walking trail and a plaque. That’s about it.

You just squeaked in. LSU fans had better be grateful that Auburn and Florida have been in a tailspin the last 5 years and didn’t pass LSU.

Makes sense that LSU was essentially founded by a demon who immediately turned on his own people.

I have no dog in the fight between LSU and Bama.
But you sound like a homosexual liberal.

UGA is the oldest state-chartered university in the United State of America, it is not disputed by any credible person. There are some older, but they are private schools, like Brown in Rhode Island. Not state-chartered universities. The brand new state of Georgia, after the end of the war in 1783, decided to make a government sponsored (state-chartered) university very quickly, and did it in 1785 after John Milledge (Milledge Avenue, Millegeville) explored into injun territory and found a nice spot for it, which we now call Athens, named after the Greek city known for higher learning thousands of years ago.

Nice try
UGA was chartered Jan 27 1795 and started admitting students in 1801.
University of Tenn started in 1879. Was Blount College in 1794. Renamed East Tenn College in 1807 and wasn’t the University of Tenn until 1879.
