N150 fireworks
While much of America prepares to celebrate the Fourth of July this week, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is taking a moment to look back on its 150th anniversary fireworks celebration in February.
The display — which is part of the university's sesquicentennial celebration in 2019 — capped a weeklong observance of the charter that established Dear Old Nebraska U on Feb. 15, 1869. The seminal document was approved in a single day, broke new ground for the Morrill Act and traces its roots to Thomas Jefferson.
