Pretty sure all that means was that the land grant of the territorial legislature would still be in effect after the ratification of the Constitution (1851 vs 1857.)

Interestingly enough, Section 4 immediately following invests the state with eminent domain power.

This excellent article by the legal research team describes the scope of the University's powers and cites key legal cases that have helped define it. https://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/pubs/ss/clssumca.pdf
