The Columns once supported the portico of Academic Hall, the first building erected on campus. Academic Hall was built between 1840 and 1843 from plans drawn by A. Stephen Hills, designer of the Missouri State Capitol. It consisted of a domed central section of three stories with two wings and housed both educational and administrative facilities. On Jan. 9, 1892, Academic Hall was destroyed by fire and the Columns were all that remained.

The SEC voted unanimously to allow Missouri into the conference for next season, according to The Associated Press. "The Southeastern Conference is a highly successful, stable, premier athletic conference that offers exciting opportunities for the University of Missouri. Missouri's addition made it the 14th school in the SEC after the addition of Texas A&M, which announced that it will leave the Big 12 for the SEC in late September. The two schools would be the first additions to the SEC since 1991, when Arkansas and South Carolina joined the conference to bring it to its current format of 12 teams.
