4 STATE COLLEGE or KENTUCKY.
onoumos.  
The campus of the College consists of fifty-two acres of land, 10. 0
cated within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone vg;
Street electric car line extends along the greater part of its western Ot]
border, giving opportunity to reach in a few minutes any part of the am
city. The campus is laid out in walks, drives, and lawns, and is
A planted with a choice variety of native and exotic trees and shrubs, to Na
which additions are constantly being made. A portion of the land has Gr
recently been reserved for a botanical garden, in which will be grown rot
the most desirable native plants, with a view to testing their adaptability ral
to cultivation, and to give increased facilities to students taking agricul-
tural and biological courses. Two and a half acres, forming the n0rth· Di
east portion of the campus, inclosed and provided with a grand stand, tor
is devoted to the field sports of students.
About three quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas- dt
ville pike, an extension of South Limestone Street, is the Experiment ar
Station Farm, consisting of forty-eight and a half acres, to which sixty. m
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 held crops, dairy tests,
fertilizer tests, fruit-spraying tests, in short, all the scientific experi·
mentation of a thoroughly equipped and organized Station. The front if
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. m
