Plaque Dedicated to Devaney and Osborne Close-Up
A close-up picture of the plaque dedicated to coaches Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne outside of Memorial Stadium.
The Plaque Reads:
Nebraska's tradition of great football received new impetus when Bob Devaney arrived in 1968 to become coach. For eleven straight years under his leadership the Cornhuskers enjoyed winning seasons. During this period Devaney became the first coach to win 100 games for the university.
Devaney's successor and former assistant, Tom Osborne, assumed head coaching duties in 1975. Osborne continued the winning pattern, also coaching his teams to eleven victorious seasons in a row. In so doing he became the second coach in Nebraska's history to win more than 100 games.
These two outstanding coaches and teachers of young men have added greatly to Nebraska's famous football tradition. They have also established a unique record: never before in major college football history have two coaches won in excess of 100 games each in 22 consecutive years.

<p>The Land Endowment (Pp. 28-29)</p>
<p> The regents request that the process of surveying and allocating land be sped up, so that a steady income may be provided to the university. Additionally, the regents declare their intent to foster a university that is not solely fixated upon agricultural issues. Rather a serious focus should be dedicated to the "...education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life."</p>

A published collection of the Board of Regents' minutes.<br />
(Pp. 4-5)<br /> The Committee for Land Selection suggested to the state legislature, that the federally endowed land be sold or leased as soon as possible. Thus the profits may be invested and the annual dividends could supplement the university fund.<br />

Sixth Report of the Board of Regents
Receipts and Expenditures (Pp. 5)<br /> This excerpt from the 1882 Regents' Report, gives specific accounting numbers for the university. In 1882, the university's income hit the level the regents had been expecting. For a two year fiscal period a total of $123,349.26 was received. This is a stark contrast from $13,984.50 received in 1880.<br /> Coincidentally, 1882 was the first year the regents did not ask the senate to take action with the federally endowed land.

Seventh Report of the Board of Regents
"Receipts and Expenditures" (Pp. 4) & "Probable Income" (Pp. 12)<br /> In 1884 the income from land leased and interest on sold lands began to seriously materialize. The expected two year income from these lands was $70,000, with an additional $17,000 in delinquent lessees. Thus $84,000 was allocated to the university budget.

Receipts and Expenditures (Pp. 17-18)<br /> In 1886 the two year budget was again estimated. All income deriving from the endowed land was $63,000, approximately one third of the total income.<br /><br />The Resources of the University (Pp. 89-90)<br /> The regents paid respect to the gifted land from the Morrill Act, giving it credit for one third of the university's income.

Ninth Report of the Board of Regents
In this passage, the Regents call attention to the original language used in both the Morrill Act and the Nebraska State Constitution. It would seem the Regents felt their role in the economics of the university was being superseded by the state government. State senators must have taken notice of this argument, as the Regents fail to make mention of this issue in subsequent publications.
Brief accounting numbers are also delivered. From these numbers it is evident that the university's income was increasing from the endowed land.

Tenth Report of the Board of Regents
The Regents appeared to be satisfied with their relations with the state legislature, as the only mention of the land endowment in 1890 came under the Receipts and Expenditures section.
Again it can be seen that the university's income continued to grow as the interest on the invested funds continued to grow exponentially.
