 The State College of Kentucky.
` History.
GRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United States
owe their origin to an act of Congress, entitled "An act donat-
ing public lands to the several States and Territories which
may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic '
arts," approved July 2, 1862. The amount of land donated was 30,000
acres for each representative in the National Congress, Under this
allotment Kentucky received 330,000 acres. Several years elapsed
before the Commonwealth established an Agricultural and Mechanical
College under the act. When established it was not placed upon an
independent basis, but was made one of the Colleges of Kentucky Uni- `
versity, to which Institution the annual interest of the proceeds of
the Congressional land grant was to be given for the purpose of
carrying on its operations. The land-scrip had meanwhile been sold
for fifty cents per acre and the amount received—$l65,000—invested
in six per cent. Kentucky State bonds, of which the State became ·
custodian in trust for the College.
The connection with Kentucky University continued till 1878, when
the act of 1865, making it one of the Colleges of said University, was »
repealed, and a Commission was appointed to recommend to the Leg- _
islature of 1879-80, a plan of organization for an institution, including
an Agricultural and Mechanical College, such as the necessities of
the Commonwealth required. The city of Lexington offered to the
Commission (which was also authorized to recommend to the General
Assembly the place which, all things considered, offered the best *
and greatest inducements for the future and permanent location of the
College) the City Park, containing fifty-two acres of land, within the
limits of this city, and thirty thousand dollars in city bonds, for the
erection of buildings. This offer the county of Fayette supplemented
by twenty thousand dollars in county bonds. to be used either for the
erection of buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of the
city ol Lexington and of the county of Fayette were accepted by the
General Assembly.
By the act of incorporation, and the amendments thereto, consti-
tuting the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Ken-
tucky, liberal provision is made for educating, iroe of tuition, the ~
energetic young mon of the Commonwealth whose means are limited.
The Normal Department, for which provision is also made, is intended
to aid in building up the Common School system by furnishing prop-
erly qualified teachers. This College, with the associate departments
which will, from time to time, be opened as the means placed at the

 it

disposal of the Trustees allow, will, it is hoped, in the not distantfuture
do a great work in advancing the educational interests of Kentucky.
. Being entirely undenominational in its character, it will appeal with
confidence to the people of all creeds and of no creed, and will endeavor,
in strict conformity with the requirements of its organic law,
to afford equal advantages to all, exclusive advamages to
none. The liberality of the Commonwealth in supplement-
ing the inadequate annual income arising from the proceeds
of the land-scrip invested in State bonds, will, it is believed,
enable the Trustees to begin and carry on, upon a scale commensu-
rate with the wants of our people, the operations of the institution
whose management and oversight have been committed to them by
the General Assembly of Kentucky.
I Object.
In the act of Congress making provision for the class of colleges
I to which the State College partly belongs, it is declared "that their
leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical
studies, and including military tactics, to teach such `branches of
learning as a1·e related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order-
to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes
in the several pursuits and professions in life."
. The Normal School. V
The Normal Department of the `State College exists under the
authority of acts of the General Assembly, approved April 23 and
April 29, 1880. Section T of the first act brietiy detines the object for
which the Department was established, "but a Normal Department
or course of instruction fi r irregular periods, designed more particu— ‘
larly, but not exclusively, to qualify teachers for common and other
schools, shall be established in connection with the College." The
second act provides the necessary endowment to make the Depart-
ment eiiective.
The number of students annually enrolled in the Normal School has
exceeded expectation. As they come from all parts of the State, and
many of them return well prepared for the profession of teaching,
they must greatly promote the efficiency of our common schools.
_ generally. and demonstrate the wisdom of the General Assembly in
providing an inexpensive Normal School, centrally located and easy of
`. access, to keep the State always supplied with well trained teachers.
p The Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station.
This Department of the State College originated in a resolution
of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, adopted in Sep-
tember 1885, when the Department was organized and a Director

 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY . 3
. appointed. In 1886 the Station was recognized and named by the
General Assembly, and in 1887, it and a similar Station in every other
State were each endowed by Congress with an annual appropriation
of $15,000.
The work of the Station is directed to two objects: 1 To a constant
succession of experiments by specialists, in order to learn what appli-
cations of science will ensure the best returns from the farm the
garden, the orchard, the vineyard, the stock-yard and the dairy; 2
To the publication of bulletins announcing such results of the experi-
ments as are found to be valuable to any of our people that seek profit .
from either of those prime sources of wealth, the soil, the Bock or the
herd.
Results of experiments have been published in six reports and fifty-
three bulletins, and general appreciation of their utility is shown in
the fact that, while no bulletin is sent except upon application for it, ·
the mailing list of the Station contains more than 11,000 names and ‘
is ever increasing. °
With an ample endowment, a large and commodious building
planned for the purpose, adequate apparatus, a good experimental
farm conveniently situated, and seven capable scientists always
employed and in correspondence with other stations, The Kentucky ~
Agricultural Experiment Station is not only an important adjunct of
. the College in the education of students for the leading industrial
pursuit, but directly or indirectly through the wide and continual ·
diffusion of knowledge for the benefit of so la1·ge a proportion of our _
population, it is bound to be extremely useful to the Commonwealth
at large.
‘ Location.
The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky is estab-
lished in the old City Park grounds of the City of Lexington, given
to the Commonwealth for this purpose. The site is elevated, and
commands a good view of the city and surrounding count1·y.
Lexington is now the most important railroad center in Kentucky,
being in immediate communication with Louisville, Cincinnati, Mays-
ville, Chattanooga, and with more than seventy counties in the
Commonwealth. The long established reputation of the city for
refinement and culture renders it attractive as a seat of learning,
and the large body of fertile country adjacent, known as the "Blue
Grass Region," with its splendid stock farms, a1i`ords unsurpassed .
advantages to the student of agriculture who desires to make himself
familiar with the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine in
America.

4 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
‘ Grounds.
The campus of the College consists of 52 acres of land, located
l I within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone
street electric car line extends along the greater part of its western
border, giving opportunity to reach in a few minutes any part of the
city. The campus is laid out in walks, drives and lawns, and is
planted with a choice variety of native and exotic trees and shrubs, to
which additions are constantly being made. A portion of the land
has recently been reserved for a botanical garden in which will be
grown the more desirable native plants, with a view to testing their
adaptability to cultivation, and to give increased facilities to students
taking agricultural and biological courses. Two and a half acres,
forming the north-east portion of the campus, enclosed and provided
with a grand stand, is devoted to field sports of students.
. About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nich-
olasville pike, an extension of South Limestone street, is the Experi-
' ment Station Farm, consisting of forty-eight and a half 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, in short, all of the scientific ex-
perimentation of a thoroughly equipped and organized Station. The
front of the farm is pasture and orchard. The back portion is divided
off into two hundred one-tenth acre plots, for convenience in making
· crop tests. »
Buildings.
The main college building is a structure of stone and brick, 140 feet
long and G8 feet in width. It contains the ofiice of the President and
of the Business Agent, and on the third floor, counting the basement
fioor as one, is the chapel, in which each day the students and Faculty
meet, and in which are held public gatherings and such other meetings
as bring together. the entire student body. The remaining space in
this building is occupied by recitation rooms and by the society rooms
of the students.
The Station building is a handsome structure, well planned for the
object for which it is made. It is seventy feet in length by
fifty·four feet in width, with a tower projection in front, and an
octagonal projection eighteen by eighteen on the north side. The
building is two stories high, and has a basement eleven feet from
floor to ceiling. The main entrance is on the first floor, on the west
, side of the building, through an archway fifteen feet wide. The base-
` ment is occupied in part by the Station and in part by the College.
l The next floor above is devoted to ofiice and laboratory work of the
, Station, while the upper floor accommodates the College work in
Chemistry.
The building devoted to Mechanical Engineering covers altogether

 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 5
an area of about 10,897 square feet, is constructed of stone and pressed
brick, and is well furnished with modern conveniences for work in
this branch of engineering. It contains rooms as follows: Recitatiou
room: 34’><25’: recitation room, 25’><23’, library and exhibition room
25’><23’; office 10”><12’; drawing room, 34’><35’; engine room, 20’><30’:
tool room, 30’><6’; wash room, 30’><27”; wood
shop, 80’><34’; machine shop 42’X35’ blacksmith shop, 35’><35’; foundry
35’><37’.
A new brick two-story building has been erected and furnished with
modern conveniences for the work in Veterinary Medicine. '
Two large brick dormitories on the campus afford boarding conven-
iences for students who wish to lessen expense in this direction.
Other buildings on the campus are a brick dwelling for the President
and a frame cottage at present occupied by the Commandant.
On the Experiment Farm are a brick dwelling occupied by the
Director of the Station, and the usual farm buildings for the care of O
tools, the protection of stock, and the like. V

 Departments and Courses of Study,
The studies of the State College are distributed into seventeen
Departments, each in charge of a responsible head, the heads consti
tuting the Faculty. The Departments in chronological order are:
I. History, Political Economy and Metaphysics.
II. Agriculture, Horticulture and Botany. ‘
III. The English Language and Literature. `
IV. Military Science. "
V. Chemistry. I
VI. Mathematics and Astronomy.
VII. The French and German Languages.
VIII. The Greek and Latin Languages. ‘ `
IX. The Academy.
X. The Normal School.
XI. Civil Engineering.
XII. Zoology and Entomlogy.
XIII. Mechanical Engineering. -
XIV. Anatomy and Physiology. a
XV. Veterinary Science.
XVI. Geology and Palaeontology. V
XVII. Physics. ,
l. Department of History, Political Economy and Metaphysics,
PRESIDENT PATTERSON.
The course of instruction in this Department includes an outline of
Ancient, Mediaeval and Modern History. Attention is given to the
various forms of government, their characteristic features and points
of difference, to the progress of civilization, the origin and develop-
ment of parliamentary gove1·nment, the rights and duties of citizen-
ship.
In the period covered, Modern History, and the History of Eng-
land and the United States occupy the most prominent place.
Walker’s Science of Wealth is made the basis of instruction in
Political Economy. Students are, however, made familiar with the
' principles upon which rest the rival doctrines of Protection and Free
Trade.
The study of Mental and Moral Philosophy extends through one *
year. Sir William Hamilton is used as the basis of instruction in
Metaphysics, and Janet in Morals. Concurrently with recitations
from these authorities, the pupil is made familiar with the principles
upon which rival systems of philosophy and morals are based and

the arguments by which they are maintained. Ancient and modern-
systems are thus brought under review, and the necessary data fur-
, nished upon which to ground intelligent opinions. .
ll. Department of Agriculture, Horticulture and Botany.
PROFESSOR MATHEWS.
This Department occupies rooms on the lower iioor of the Experi-
ment Station Building. The main room is suitably furnished with
laboratory tables, water and gas fixtures and other apparatus for
class instruction.
Botany- ·
In this study the amount of instruction given varies from one to
four or more terms in accordance with the requirements of the gen-
eral course entered by the student. The laboratory method is the
‘ form of instruction principally used, and from the very beginning of
6 his work the student is directed toa study of plants themselves, using
the text book only in a subordinate manner, to correct his mistakes
and to enlarge his Held of view. In the course of the year class
excursions are arranged to the Kentucky river and other localities of
botanical interest for the purpose of collecting and studying plants in
their native habitat.
Among the facilities for study . the Department possesses a green-
_ house (20 ft. x 50 ft.) giving an opportunity for the continuous study
of living plants throughout the winter months and for experimental
work in plant physiology.
Each student is also supplied, for histological study, with dissect-
ing and compound microscopes, microtomes and other appliances
from the best makers.
The herbarium contains a nearly complete representation of the
flora of Kentucky, with a considerable number of foreign exchanges.
It was primarily due to the eiforts of Dr. Robert Peter, who made a
quite extensive collection of Kentucky plants about sixty years ago,
and also exchanged specimens with the prominent botanists of that
day, thus forming the nucleus of the present collection, which there-
fore possesses considerable historical value. Constant additions are
now being made to the herbarium by collecting excursions over the
State. and by exchanges with other institutions.
A carefully selected library, containing the most important botani-
cal works of reference, is constantly available to the class.
- The nucleus of a botanical garden has been commenced upon the
College campus, to which additions will be made as rapidly as circum-
‘ stances will permit.
The text books required in botany during the first year of instruc-
tion are Gray’s Lessons and Manual of Botany and Bastin’s College

part of the course, to such standard works as Sach’s Physiology of
_ Plants, De Bary’s Comparative Anatomy of Phanerogams and Ferns,
Strasberger’s Practical Botany, Gray’s Structural Botany, Goodale’s
Physiological Botany, Darwin’s Works, Beale
