69 HISTORY.
69 K GRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United States
70  N A owe their origin to an act of Congress, entitled M An act Donating
75 Public Lands to the several States and Territories which may provide
76 Colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts," approved
- 76  i july 2, 1862. The amount of land donated was 30,000 acres for each
88  A representative in the National Congress. Under this allotment Kentucky
88 received 330,000 acres. Several years elapsed before the Common-
88 ~ wealth established an Agricultucal and Mechanical College under the
39 ‘ act, When established it was not placed upon an independent basis,
, 90 . but was made one of the Colleges of Kentucky University, to which
_ 9, ` institution the annual interest of the proceeds of the Congressional land
_ 9, grant was to. be given for the purpose of carrying on its operations.
_ gl The land-scrip had meanwhile been sold for fifty cents per acre, and
i I _ the amount I`€C€lVBd—$I65,000~——lllV€St€d in six per cent Kentucky
gs _ State bonds, of which the State became custodian in trust for the
l College.
` 94 The connection with Kentucky University continued till 1878, when
` 94 the act of 1865, making it one of the Colleges of said University, was
` 95  7 repealed, and a Commission was appointed to recommend to the Legis-
' 96  · lature of 187g-80 a plan of organization for an institution, including I
" an Agricultural and Mechanical College, such as the necessities of the
, Commonwealth required. The city of Lexington offered to the Com-
` mission (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
1 limits of this city, and thirty thousand dollars in city bonds for the
A erection of buildings. This offer the county of Fayette supplemented
I by twenty thousand dollars in county bonds, to be used either for the
V erection of buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of the city
Q of Lexington and of the county of Fayette were accepted by the General
Assemblv.
By the act of incorporation, and the amendments thereto, constitut-
ing the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky,
liberal provision is made for educating, free of tuition, the energetic
young men of the Commonwealth whose means are limited. The
~ Normal Department, for which provision is also made, is intended to aid
V in building up the Common School system by furnishing properly qual-
  ified teachers. This College, with the additional departments which
V will, from time to time, be opened as the means placed at the disposal
 A of the Trustees allow, will, it is hoped, in the not distant future, do a
4 Isaa-

great work in advancing the educational interest of Kentucky. Being
entirely undenominational in its character it will appeal with confidence A
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 advantages to none. The liberality gf
the Commonwealth in supplementing 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
commensurate 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.
LEADING OBJECT. '
In the act of Congress making provision for the class of colleges to ·
which the State College partly belongs, it is declared M that their leading A
object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, ‘
and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as .
are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote  A
the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several
pursuits and professions in life." To the departments contemplated in —
the act, a Normal School has been added by the State and an Experi—
mental Station by the United States. ,
THE NORMAL SCHOOL. V
The Normal Department of the State College exists under the A;
authority of acts of the General Assembly approved April 23 and April A
29, 1880. Section 7 of the first act briefly defines the object for which
the Department was established, M a Normal Department or course of j
instruction for irregular periods, designed more particularly, but not
exclusively, to qualify teachers for common and other schools, shall be A
established in connection with the College? The second act provides  
the necessary endowment to make the Department effective.  ,
The number of students annually enrolled in the Normal School has V
exceeded expectation. As they come from all parts of the State, and  r
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.
C
THE KENTUCKY EXPERIMENT STATION. ~
This Department of the State College originated in a resolution of i
the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, adopted in Septem-
ber, 1885, when the Department was organized and a Director .
appointed. In 1886 the Station was recognized and named by the ‘
A ` ,. dns: 

 srare COLLEGE OF Kiznrucxv. 3
, . General Assembly, and in 1887 it and a similar Station in every other
Slug ~ State were each endowed by Congress with an annual appropriation of
Fe ooo.
ltmt 8I5;[`he work of the Station is directed to two objects: r. To a con-
`qua] stent sucession of experiments made by specialists, in orderto learn
Y Of what applications of science will insure the best returns from the farm,
mlm: the garden, the orchard, the vineyard, the stockyard, and the dairy.
lV1H’ _ 2_ To the publication of bulletins announcing such results of the experi-
°cal€ ments as are found to be valuable to any of our people that seek profit
ddl; from either of those prime sources of wealth-the soil, the flock, or the
herd.
` Results of experiments have been published in nine reports and
V seventy-three bulletins, and general appreciation of their utility is
shown in the fact that, while no bulletin is sent except upon application
SS to , for it, the mailing list of the Station contains more than 8,000 names,
ding ' and is ever increasing. p · U
dies, . With an ample endowment, a large and commodious building
,g as planned for the purpose,- adequate apparatus, a good experimental farm
mote conveniently situated, and seven capable scientists always employed and
wml iu correspondence with other stations, The Kentucky Experiment Sta-
ed in _ tion is not only an important adjunct of the College in the education of
p€,.i_ students for the leading industrial pursuits, but directly or indirectly
through the wide and continual diffusion of knowledge for the benefit
of so large a proportion of our population, it is bound to be extremely
useful to the Commonwealth at large.
the  I LOCATION. I
  The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky is-established
Sc Of in the old City Park grounds of the City of Lexington, given to the
E not Commonwealth for tlns purpose. The site is elevated, and commands
dl be . a good view of the city and surrounding country.
vides Lexington is now the most important railroad center in Kentucky,
_ being in immediate connnunication with Louisville, Cincinnati, Mays-
lhas  ' ville, Chattanooga, and with more than seventy counties in the Com-
zmd -v  monwealth. The long-established reputation of the city for refinement
lthey ` and culture renders it attractive as a seat of learning, and the large
muy, bodylof fertile country adjacent, known as the M Blue Grass Region,"
W an with its splendid stock farms, affords unsurpassed advantages to the
S; to Student of agriculture who desires to make himself familiar with the
’ best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine in America.
GROUNDS.

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
most desirable native plants, with a view to testing their adaptability to
‘ cultivation, and to give increased facilities to students taking agricu].
tural and biological courses. Two and a half acres, forming the north-
east portion of the campus, inclosed and provided with a grand stand,
is devoted to the field sports of students.
About three quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas- .
ville pike, an extension of South Limestone Street, is the Experiment
Station Farm, consisting of forty—eight and a half acres, to which sixty.  
four and a half acres have been added by recent purchase. 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 the scientific experi-
mentation 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 68 feet in width. lt contains the office of the President
and of the Business Agent, and on the third floor, counting the base-
ment floor 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 Y
space in this building is occupied by recitation rooms and by the society I
rooms of the students.  
The Station building is a handsome structure, well planned for the  I
object for which it was made. It is seventy feet in length by fifty-four
feet in width, with a tower projection in front, and an octagonal pro-
jection eighteen by eighteen on the north side. The building is two _
stories high, and 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 basement is occupied in part _
by the Station and in part by the College. The next floor above is g
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
an area of about 20,000 feet, is constructed of stone and pressed brick,
. and is well furnished with modern conveniences for work in this branch
of engineering.  g
Two large brick dormitories on the campus afford boarding c0n·  
veniences for students who wish to lessen expense in this direction.
Other buildings on the campus are a brick dwelling for the President  ·
and a cottage occupied by the Commandant. —
