The campus of the College consists of fifty-two acres of land, located  
within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone electric  .
car line extends along the western border of the campus, affording oppor- E
tunity to reach in a few minutes any part of the city. The campus is laid » ‘i 
out in walks, drives, and lawns, a11d is planted with a choice variety of
native and exotic trees a11d shrubs, to which additions are constantly being
made. A portion of the land has recently been reserved for a botanical gar- I
den, in which will be grown the most desirable native plants, with a view to 0
testing their adaptability to cultivation and to giving increased facilities to  
students taking agricultural and biological courses. Two and a half acres, .i
forming the northeast portion of the campus, inclosed and provided with a
grand stand, are devoted to the field sports of the students. L
About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas- 0
ville pike, an extension of South Limestone street, is the Experiment Station _
Farm, consisting of about two hundred and three acres. Here the field
experiments of the Station are conducted, and students have opportunities  `
to witness tests of varieties of field crops, dairy tests, fertilizer tests, fruit-  
spraying tests; i11 short, all the scientific experimentation of a thoroughly
equipped and organized Station. The front of the farm is pasture a11d ,
orchard. The back portion is divided off into two hundred one-te11th acre
plots, for convenience in making crop tests.  —
