PATTERSON HALL.
This Hall, a home for the young women of the College, is a large and
' handsome three-story brick structure of a hundred and fifty feet front, built
on a fine site of about three acres fronting two hundred and ten feet on South
Limestone Street and a line of the City electric railway. Within a quarter
of a mile of the College on the South, a half mile of the Court House, the
Phoenix Hotel and the Post-office on the North, and distant not more than
ten minutes by railway from the principal churches of the City, Patterson
Hall is, for all purposes, admirably located. The building is heated by steam,
lighted by electricity, and supplied with hydrant and cistern water. It has
a front veranda of 14 by 68 feet, wide halls, a closet in every bed room, and
thirteen bath rooms. With walks, drives and numerous old forest trees, the
spacious front lawn, one of the most beautiful in Lexington, is an inviting
place for exercise, for which ample provision has also been made in the
rear lawn, with tennis court and croquet grounds, as well as in the large s .
gymnasium. [ ,
Sixty-eight commodius and well-furnished rooms afford accommodation
for a hundred and twenty-two persons, for whom the careful and judicious A I
matron will provide lodging free, and excellent board at $3 a. week, the
occupants furnishing their own napkins, towels, and bedding, except mat-
tresses and pillows, and paying their laundry bill.
Built durably of stone, brick, wood and iron, and practically nre-proof;
with adequate provision for safety, heat, light, ventilation, bathing and
exercise, this hall offers all the comforts and conveniences of a well-ap-
pointed home.
County appointees are first supplied with rooms, and these, by act of
the Legislature, are assigned by lot.
Probably no educational institution in the South affords a more attract-
I ive home for young women; and those who are favored with La county r ‘
appointment, the mode for obtaining which is set forth elsewhere in this
catalogue, will find that residence at the State College is brought within the
means of any young woman who earnestly desires to flt herself for a life of
usefulness.

I,   THE STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
F,
- :-1 rs‘ro Rv. i
GRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United States owe ,
A their origin to an act of Congress entitled "An Act Donating Public `
Lands to the several States and Territories which may provide Col- ,;
leges for the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts," approved ]uly `
2. 1862. The amount of land donated was 30,000 acres for each representa-
tive 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 this act. When established
it was not placed upon an independent basis, but was made one of the
Colleges of Kentucky University, 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——$165,000—invested in six per
N I 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 Legislature of 1879-80 i
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 oiered to the Commission (which was also authorized
to recommend to the General Assembly the place which, all things consid- ,.
ered, offered the best and greatest inducements for the future and permanent ·
location of the College) the City Park, containing nfty-two acres of land
within the limits of the city, and thirty thousand dollars of 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 erect-
·* ion of buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of the city of Lex-
ington and the county of Fayette were accepted by the General Assembly.
By the act of incorporation and the amendments thereto, constituting
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 in building up the Common _
’ School system by furnishing properly qualified teachers. This College, with
the additional departments which shall, from time to time, be opened as the
means placed at the disposal of the Trustees allow, will, it is hoped, in the
not distant future do a great work in advancing the educational interest of

 2 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. _  
Kentucky. Being entirely undenomiuational in its character, it will appeal
with confidence to the people of all creeds and of no creed. and will endeav- , ,
or, in strict conformity with the requirements of its organic law, to afford I
equal advantages to all, exclusive privileges to none. The liberality of the
Commonwealth in supplementing the inadequate annual income arising from
the proceeds of the land-scrip invested iu State bonds, has enabled 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 Ken-  
tucky.  r
SCOPE OF STUDIES. ‘
In the act of Congress making provision for the class of colleges 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 are related
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and
practical education ot the industrial classes in the several pursuits and pro- ~
fessions of life." To the three departments of agriculture, the mechanic
arts, and military science, contemplated in the act as indispensable, a Nor-
mal School has been added by the State and an Experimental Station by the
United States, while liberal provision has been made for instruction in all ‘ ;
· branches of science and in the classics, so that this institution is far more
than an agricultural and mechanical college, embracing, as it does, not
merely the three original departments, but eighteen others. ’ J
THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
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 7 of the nrst act briefly defines the object for which the Department t
was established, "a Normal Department or course of instruction for irregu- C
lar periods, designed more particularly, 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 Department eifective.
Ten years ago, in order to prepare young men and women for doing the
highest work in their chosen profession, the Department of Pedagogy was
established, with a four years’ collegiate course, oiiering Pedagogy as a
major study. The attendance upon this course has steadily increased, and
the work done has been of a high order.
THE KENTUCKY EXPERIMENT STATION.
The Agricultural Experiment Station of The State College of Kentucky _
was established by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees in
September 1885, when the Department was organized and a Director
appointed. In 1886 the Station was recognized and named by the General
Assembly, and in 1887 it became the beneficiary of the iirst annual appro-

 , l   STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 3 `  
i priation of $15,000 under the Hatch act providing for the establishment of i
i ` r Agricultural Experiment Stations in the several States and Territories. `
The work of the Station is directed to two objects: 1. To a constant V
succession of experiments made by specialists, in order to learn what appli-  
cations of science will insure the best returns from the farm, the garden, the ,
orchard, the vineyard, the stockyard and the dairy. 2. To the publication it
‘ of bulletins announcing such results of the experiments as are found to be °
r valuable to those of the people of Kentucky who seek profit from any one g
of those prime sources of wealth—the soil, the flock, and the herd.
` Results of experiments have been published in eighteen annual reports yi
` and one hundred and twenty-nine 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 about 10,000
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 a staff of fifteen scientists engaged in seven divisions of
research and in correspondence with other stations, the Kentucky Experi- ‘
ment Station is not only an important adjunct to the College in the educa-
tion of students for the leading industrial pursuits, but, directly orindirectly,
6 _ 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 V
the Commonwealth at large.
J
` LOCATIO N .
The State College of Kentucky is established in the Old City Park, just
I within the southern boundary of Lexington and near the Cincinnati South-
ern Railway. The site is elevated and commands a good view of much of ,
the city and of the surrounding country. ·
· Lexington, now a growing city of thirty-five thousand inhabitants, is in
the heart of the far-famed Bluegrass region, a region distinguished for fertil- V
ity and healthfulness, wealth and beauty. Numerous schools and churches,
an intelligent and refined population, well paved streets, handsome build-
ings, extensive water-works, and an unsurpassed system of street electric
railways make Lexington attractive as a seat of learning and place of resi-
dence, while the splendid stock farms scattered over the large body of fertile
country around it afford advantages hardly equaled elsewhere for the student
who desires to become familiar with the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep,
and swine in America. Moreover, with railroads diverging in seven direct-
ions, Lexington is the railroad center of Kentucky, and in direct connection _
l with Louisville, Cincinnati, Maysville, Huntington, and Chattanooga, and
. with more than seventy counties of the Commonwealth . And wl1e11 to the
i electric railways now in operation to Georgetown, Paris and Versailles_
_ those projected to Winchester, Richmond, and Nicholasville shall be added,

the hourly trains of these six roads will enable students residing near them
to attend the college conveniently from their homes as far as twenty miles . ,_
away. `
GR OU N DS .
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-
- tunity 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 most desirable native plants, with a view
to testing their adaptability to cultivation and to giving increased facilities
to students taking agricultural and biological courses. Two and a half
acres, forming the northeast portion of the campus, inclosed and provided
with a grand- stand, are devoted to the field sports of the 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 two hundred and forty 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; in short, all the scientific experimentation of a thoroughly i
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 IV[ain Bz¢ilding.——This is a structure of stone and brick, 140 feet
long and 68 feet in width. It contains the office of the President and of
the Business Agent, and on the third fioor, counting the basement floor as

lodgings for the 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. »
Science Hall —This hall, built during the year 1897 for the departments Q
of Natural Science, is 95 x 97 feet, of pressed brick, trimmed with Bowling `
Green stone. The wide halls, the numerous and spacious lecture rooms, .°‘
laboratories and othces in its three stories are conveniently arranged, well
lighted, and the rooms are well furnished.
The Farm B1¢ila'1`ngs.—On the farm is a brick dwelling occupied by the ‘
Director of the Station, and the usual buildings for the care of tools, the
protection of stock, and the like.
The Gymnasinm.—This imposing structure of pressed brick and Bed-
ford stone, 100 x 157 feet, with the central part three stories high, the right
wing one and the left two, stands 150 feet north of the Main Building T
and cost $30,000.
The first floor of the central portion contains the Armory, lockers for
pe n women, and the ofhces of the Commandant and the Physical Director. The
7- second fioor is occupied by Alumni Hall, the Trustees’ room, and a society
hall. The third floor is divided into two society halls and a hall for the
·- Y. M. C. A. All these rooms are commodious and finely adapted to their _ '
purpose. The right wing, which is 48 x 95 feet, is used as a drill-room
during bad weather. The basement of the left wing is set apart for baths,
lockers for men, wash—stands, closets, and a swimming pool. The second
floor, the gymnasium proper, is equipped with the best apparatus that could
  be procured. The building is finished in yellow pine, heated by steam, ,~
and lighted by electricity. '
The New Station Building.--This house on South Limestone, and a
fourth of a mile from the campus, was completed in the winter of 1904. ‘
The building is of two stories and the basement, of pressed brick with
oolitic lime-stone trimmings. The foundation is of Kentucky gray lime-
stone faced with broken ashlar oolitic limestone, the balustrade of terra-
cotta. A large portico, with columns extending from the first floor line to
the pediment on a level with the cornice, forms an attractive feature of the
building. The cornice is massive, with large brackets.
The general design of the building, which is l14 feet long x 60 deep,
is colonial, adhering as strictly as possible to classic proportion and com-
binations .
Patterson Hall.-This large and handsome three-story structure, a home
· for the young women of the College, is now ready for occupancy. Pleas-
antly located on South Limestone street, a fourth of a mile north of the
College, and on the street railway which lies along the western border of the
spacious grounds; built durably of brick, stone, iron and wood, and made

practically fire-proof; with long and wide porches and with a large closet in , L
every room; with adequate provision for light, heat, ventilation and exer-
cise, this hall offers to 122 occupants, two in a room, everything needed for
their health, safety, convenience, comfort and physical culture.
Cost of ground, building and equipment, $60,000.
Normal Hall.—A new building, which promises to be the handsomest
. on the campus, has been erected for the use of the Normal Department and
the School of Domestic Science, and will soon be ready for occupancy.
The construction is of pressed brick and Bedford stone, and the design fol-
lows the most approved style of modern school architecture. The building
contains ten class-rooms, a study—room for young women and one for young
men, a department library-room, two ofiices and a very large room for the
Normal Literary Society. The completion of this building supplies a long
felt need of the Normal School, and it marks the most important step in the ,
twenty-seven years of its history.
Agricullural Hall.-—This building, for the erection of which provision V
was made by the Board of Trustees at their meeting in December, 1906, will
be ready for use in September, 1907. Designed to be a wing of the larger
structure which the Department will no doubt eventually require, it is to be
in height three stories besides the basement; in size, 45 x 100 feet, and built , ,
of pressed brick and Bedford stone. The site selected for it is on South
Limestone Street and the city railway and near the south-west corner of
the College campus.

general farm mechanics, potting and propagating, and for the heating plant.
On the first floor will be the office of the Dean of the Department, the general
and advanced plant laboratories, the horticultural lecture-room and horti-
cultural laboratory; on the second fioor the offices of the division of animal _
husbandry, and an attractive reading room and society hall. The third
· floor will provide space for an agricultural museum, a commodious hall for
the State Grange and other agricultural society meetings and exhibitions
and a photographic laboratory. The cost of this wing will be $20,000 or
‘ more.
The Librzzrj/.—This building, which is due to the munificence of that
prince of public benefactors, Andrew Carnegie, is to be completed by the first
of October, 1907. It is to be placed on the court between the Main Building
and the President’s House, to be 56 feet square, two stories high including the
tall basement of range-ashlars, to be built of pressed brick, trimmed with
terra cotta, and to cost $27,500.
DEVELOPM ENT.
The growth of the College from year to year is shown as follows:
1862. To establish and endow a college, chiefly for instruction in agriculture and thc
mechanic arts, an act of Congress apportioned to each State, for each oi its Senators and
Representatives in Congress, 30,000 acres of the public land.
1865. The General Assembly of Kentucky having accepted the State‘s portion under
he conditions prescribed, established the Agricultural and Meclianical College, making it

 'T

STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 7 _  
I one of the colleges of Kentucky University, then recently united with Transylvania Uni· l
A versity and located at Lexington, citizens of Lexington and its vicinity donating 5110,000 to  
the Curators of the University to buy a site for the College. The General Assembly having f
authorized the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to sell the 330,000 acres apportioned to ,»
Kentucky, by the mismanagement of the Commissioners’ agent the State realized for its [
land only $165,000. .“
1866. The College opened with a President, four Professors, and a Commandant. Q
1878. Dissatised with the management of the College by the Curators, wl1o were .
, engaged in a long factional strife, the General Assembly severed the connection with the -
— University, and appointed a commission to re-locate the College, to provide for its continu- i
ance in operation till re-located, and to prepare "a plan for a tirst·class University." Ken- I
‘ tucky University claiming and retaining the former site of the College, the sole property il
of the latter after the severance was an income of 59,900 derived from the land—grant. V
1880. The City of Lexington offering the City Park of Hfty-two acres as a new site for
I the College, and also 530,000 in bonds, and the County of Fayette offering 520,000 besides- _
the General Assembly ratified the selection of the site made by a majority of the commis-
4 sion, and located the College permanently in Lexington.
1880. T0 provide teachers for the Common Schools of the State and for other schools
the General Assembly added to the College a Normal Department, which should admit,
besides other students, one from each representative district every year free oi tuition.
1880. Further to endow the College and to enable it to purchase apparatus, machinery,
implements, and a library; to maintain the Normal Department, and to defray otl1cr neces i
sary expenses, the General Assembly imposed a tax of 011e-half cent on each hundred dol-
lars of the assessed value of all property in the State liable to taxation for State revenue
_ 1 and belonging to its white inhabitants. ·
1880. The Classical and Normal Departments, and the Academy added.
1882. The College Building, the First Dormitory, and the President's House completed.
1885. The Commandant’s House reconstructed.
I, 1887. To enlarge by experiments and to diffuse the knowledge of agriculture, an ac ·
of Congress established, under the direction of the Agricultural and Mechanical College in `
each State, an Agricultural Experiment Station, appropriating for its support 515,000 pe
annum.
1887. '1`he Department of Civil Engineering established, an experimental farm of
forty-eight acres purchased, and the College Greenhouse built.
i 1889. The Experiment Station Building completed.
1590. The Second Dormitory completed. "
1890. For "the more complete endowment" of Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, i
an act of Congress appropriated to each State $15,COO for the year ending june 30, 1890, and
the same sum with an increase of $I,OOO por annum for ten years, after which the maximum ·
of $25,000 should continu
