University of Wisconsin (1956 1971)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The University of Wisconsin was a university system in the state of Wisconsin that existed from 1956 until 1971. The number of its campuses varied over time. Before 1956, the University of Wisconsin included its Madison campus and 10 freshman-sophomore centers and state-wide extensions. Pressed by the growing demand for a large public university that offered graduate programs in Wisconsin's largest city, Wisconsin lawmakers passed a motion in 1955 to create another University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. In 1956, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was created as a result of the merger between the old University of Wisconsin and the former Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee. The new campus consisted of both the Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee campus near the lakefront and the University of Wisconsin extension in downtown Milwaukee.
