In
1962, after discussion among the presidents and academic deans of Concordia
College, Moorhead State College, and North Dakota State University, an
informal arrangement called the Fargo-Moorhead Common Market in Education
was created. By 1969, all three colleges had the necessary permission
to enter into reciprocal education agreements with both private and public
institutions in neighboring states. The Tri-College University continues
to award degrees and hold conferences and seminars. Today the consortium
continues to be an important fact of the three Fargo-Moorhead Colleges.
The
collection consists of the official records of Tri-College University documenting
its activities and programs. Included are meeting minutes, correspondence,
reports, grants, publications, and numerous subject files. Of special
note are the extensive files on its Humanities Forum, and the libraries
of the three institutions.
