University of Montana (often referred to as UM ) is a public research university in Missoula, Montana, in the United States. Founded in 1893, the university is the flagship institution of Montana University System and the second largest campus. The main campus is at the foot of Mount Sentinel, the hill that contains Missoula's most recognizable landmark, a large letter on the hillside "M."
The University of Montana ranks 17th in the country and the fifth among the state universities in producing the Rhodes Scholars, with 28 scholars. The University of Montana has 11 Truman Scholars, 14 Goldwater Scholars and 40 Udall Scholars to name.
The Maureen and Mike Mansfield libraries of the University of Montana accommodate the earliest early editions of the journal Lewis and Clark. Rolling Stone labeled the university "the most beautiful campus in America" ​​and Outside magazine called it "among 10 national-level colleges to combine academic quality and outdoor recreation".

History
An act of Congress on 18 February 1881 dedicated 72 sections (46,000 hectares or 19,000 hectares) in the Montana Territory for the establishment of the University.
Montana was accepted at Union on November 8, 1889, and the Montana Legislature immediately began to consider where the capital of a permanent state and state university would be located. To ensure that the new state university will be located in Missoula, city leaders make a deal with the capital of Helena, that Missoula will remain out of bidding for the new capital and will support Helena over her main rival, Anaconda. The offer of cities' supported by rivals "King Copper," William A. Clark and Marcus Daly, respectively.
Missoula won a legislative vote for a new university at the Third Montana Legislative Assembly in February 1893. The university officially opened in 1895. While plans for university campuses are progressing, temporary classes are held near the Willard School. The South Missoula Land Company, owned by A.B. Hammond, Richard Eddy and Marcus Daly, joined the Higgins family in donating land for the new campus. In June 1898 the foundation for A.J. The University building designed by Gibson was built and Missoula became the "University of the City."

Academics
Montana University consists of eleven colleges and full schools: College of Humanities & amp; Science; Phyllis J. Washington School of Science and Physics; W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation; College of Health Professions and Biomedical Sciences; College of Visual Arts and Performing Arts; Alexander Blewett III UM School of Law; UM School of Business; UM School of Journalism; UM School of Extended and Lifelong Learning; Missoula College and Bitterroot College.
Phyllis J. Washington School of Science and Science is divided into five academic departments and the Institute for Research and Education Services. In 1914, the University of Montana School of Law became a member of the American Law School Association and in 1923, the School received accreditation from the American Bar Association. Franke Forestry and Conservation Academy at W.A. Franke offers five undergraduate majors (Ecosystem Science & Restoration, Forestry, Parks, Tourism & Recreation Management, Resource Conservation and Wildlife Biology) and five Master of Science and three PhDs.
Reception
For autumn 2014, the University of Montana offers admissions to 4,956 new students from 5,345 applicants, a reception rate of 92.7%. The new incoming student class has an average GPA of 3.31, and the middle 50% range of SAT scores is 490-610 for critical reading, 490-590 for math, and 470-580 for writing, while the ACT Composite range is 20 -26.
Campus
The original plan of the University campus was designed by one of his first professors, Frederich Scheuch, who called for a central oval to be surrounded by University buildings soon and future. Although Scheuch's plan called for all the entrance of the building to face the Oval center, forming a radiating building pattern, the buildings were then built with three floors in the Renaissance Renaissance style, with a hipped roof and a Spanish green roof.
The first set of buildings was erected around the oval in 1895. Since then, various campus plans and architectural styles have been used. Today the campus consists of 220 hectares (89 ha) and is bordered to the east by Mount Sentinel and north by the Clark Fork River. The main campus consists of 64 buildings, including nine residence halls and athletic venues, including the Washington-Grizzly Stadium, 26,500 football stadiums and Adams Center (formerly Dahlberg Arena), a 7500 multi-purpose arena where teams of universities basketball play.
Landmark meliputi:
- The Oval
A 3 hectare (1,2Ã, ha) grass plot runs from east to west, marking the university's traditional center. Today is divided into quadrants with two intersecting lines, although initially the ovals are dense grass and are forbidden to be crossed by the students. Two rows of trees were planted around the oval at Arbor Day 1896, but many trees have died and are in the process of replanting. The original gravel road that has surrounded the Oval has also been replaced with sidewalks. The original master plan of the university called for all buildings to face the oval center, but this plan proved difficult and a new plan was made in 1935.
At the extreme west of the Oval is a human-sized grizzly-sized statue made by ceramic artist and sculptor Rudy Autio in 1969. The bronze statue is 7-feet tall and weighs 5000 pounds and takes a year to build. Many pictures of bear universities bear with Oval, University (Main) Hall, and Sentinel 'M' Mountain in the background.
- The "M" trace
The 3/4 mile trail with 13 switchbacks is up 620 feet (from 3,200 feet to 3,820) from the University of Montana at the foot of Mount Sentinel. This trail offers views of the city below.
There is a debate about when "The 'M'" was first placed on Mount Sentinel. Around 1908, members of the Forestry Club forged a zigzag path over the mountains and students brought stones to form the symbol of the University of Montana. Originally made of white stone and measuring only 25 feet by 25 feet, the first "M" was badly made and eventually replaced with "M" wood in 1912, which cost $ 18. It was "M," unlike today "M , "standing upright in the face of Mount Sentinel. A larger wood version of "M" was built in 1913 and the maintenance of the structure was officially charged to the first year's student classes.
When the large wooden "M" was destroyed by a snowstorm in 1915, a larger version was built of white granite. Once again, the new student classes were given the task of yearly renovation of symbols, starting a new tradition. Every year since then, the new University of Montana students climb to "M" to apply fresh layers of chalk and get rid of weeds and grass growing in and around the structure.
The annual tradition ended in 1968 when a 125 x 100 foot concrete "M" was built at a cost of $ 4,328. Behind the decision to replace the stone with concrete is a maintenance issue; with the arrival of the 1960s, UM students exhibited widespread enthusiasm for annual trips up the hill and for the annual maintenance of "M." Although the annual temple goes by the wayside, one tradition that lives today is the "M" lighting during the annual Homecoming University anniversary each fall. Originally illuminated by a group of students on October 9, 1919 after the fall, the show was so popular that students continued to light up "M" every year during Homecoming week; a special flare illuminates the giant letter, welcoming former students back to the University.
- Memorial Row
On the north side of the campus, 29 cypress trees stand in two columns forming Memorial Row along the road that used to be the Van Buren Avenue road. The trees, running from the corner of the Oval to Eddy Avenue, were planted in 1919 after the end of the Great War in honor of UM students, alumni, and faculty who died in the war, partly for combat and more for an influenza epidemic.. The trees are Pinus ponderosa (Yellow Yellow Pine or Pine Ponderosa), Montana State Tree. Originally, a white T-board was standing in front of every tree, with the name of a respected person; in 1925, it was replaced with 35 nameplates of brass on top of the concrete marker. At the same time, the university added a warning tablet on the rock near the edge of the Oval closest to Memorial Row. It lists 21 of the 31 honorary from 1919. By 1925, the university had increased the number of names on the official list to 35, and some time later, it grew to 37.

Organization and administration
Administration
The University of Montana is the main campus for the University, which includes four other campuses. The state university system is one of two in Montana; the other is Montana State University. Both systems are organized as Montana University System by the Montana District Council, composed of seven members appointed by the state governor, and confirmed by state Senate to serve for seven years. The Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction, both elected officials throughout the state, are board members, such as the Commissioner of Higher Education, designated by the Bupati Council.
The Bupati Council appoints the university president, who is directly responsible and accountable to the Higher Education Commissioner.
Funding
The total operational budget for the University of Montana for fiscal year 2009 is approximately $ 345 million. Of the $ 135 million comes from the General Fund budget (about $ 90 million of tuition, $ 45 million from the state) and $ 210 million from limited funds (about $ 80 million), additional funds ($ 46 million), designated funds ($ 44 million), and invested ($ 37 million).
Over the past 20 years, state support for higher education has dropped dramatically. In 1990, the State of Montana provided 69% of the education and general funding budget. It now supports 36% of general funds or 17% of the university's operating budget. This decline in funding has partially been made by successful universities to compete for sponsored research money with growth from $ 12 million in 1994 to $ 71 million in 2009 and salaries as low as 3/5 of the national average.
