Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Morrill Act of 1862 reserved lands for every state or territory to set up a university destinated to educate people in the the agricultural and industrial regions. Even though coeducation was not a requirement of the Morrill Act, by 1890 all the states incorporated the admittance of women in their landgrant charter. Kansas State Agricultural College (Manhattan), founded in 1863, was the first educational institution created thanks to the Morrill Act that admitted women.
