  There are some features in the plan of Kentucky Univer-
;   sity which are peculiar. The general superintendence of the ,
  whole Institution by the Regent, who is not connected with li.
  any Faculty, but who is the representative of the Curators  
.   and Donors, gives unity to the whole plan; while the distri-   »
, bution of the executive labor and responsibility among the  
·   Presiding Officers of the several Colleges secures efficiency li
. I in every department. The several Colleges thus associated  
I furnish the most liberal provisions for education, whether E
I i collegiate or professional, general or special; and that too l
I without the expense and embarrassments that would result i
. from a duplication of professorships. If a young man desires  
  to pursue a classical course exclusively he can do so, and i
i receive a certificate of graduation for the same. If he de- i
. sires to devote himself to Science or Arts, to receive a good  
_`   Commercial and Business education, to graduate as a Civil  
l i Engineer, or to study Mining or any other specialty, he will Q
l enjoy the like facilities without additional expense. Should i
i ` a student desire to reduce the ordinary expenses of board ~
i and tuition, the Agricultural College presents to him the I
i opportunity for laboring, at a reasonable compensation, on  
the College Farm or in the Mechanical Shops, while he is I
; receiving thorough instruction in Science and Literature.
This union of study and labor is thus not only economical,
~ but also conservative of health and good morals.
. The Agricultural and Mechanical College also embraces
a thorough course of instruction in Military Tactics, which is g
made valuable as a means of physical development, as well as  
of collegiate discipline.
This general plan of the University, with its peculiar
features of government and discipline, with its associated
Colleges and their separate Schools, and with its various
Elective Courses of Study, including Industrial Education,
with all its economic arrangements, makes it emphatically
an Institution for J/ke Pm;/0.
