IO ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL A
, I Qcmdition of the égricultural and (Mechanical Qvllege of Q
· @§entucky——@ep0rt of the gresident to the @0vem0r. i
, The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky
was, by the action of the last General Assembly, detached
  from its connection with Kentucky University, of which it
had been one of the Colleges, and placed upon an inde-
C pendent basis. It is now governed by a Board of Visitors,
appointed by the Governor of the Commonwealth, and in
its administration and control is entirely separate and dis-
. tinct from Kentucky University. It is provisionally estab-
lished on the Ashland and \xVoodland estates, in the vicinity
of Lexington. During its continuance upon its present
1 site, and until its ultimate location shall have been deter- ._
mined by the General Assembly, the Agricultural and
_ Mechanical College of Kentucky has, by agreement with
Kentucky University, the sole and exclusive use of one
. hundred acres of land of the Ashland and \\/`oodland
_ C estates, and for every matriculate over one hundred, one
additional acre. Its matriculates, in addition to the ad-
V _ vantages anforded by its own departments of study, have
access, free of charge, to the Departments of Latin and
Greek in the Kentucky University. The course of study
in the Agricultural and Mechanical College has been en-
larged by an advanced course of Agricultural Chemistry,
. and by a special course of lectures, by the Professor of
Natural History, upon Economic Botany, the Relation of · 1
Geology to Soils, of Forests to Agriculture, and of Insects
to Vegetation. Facilities are afforded for cheap board in
, clubs upon the grounds. Last year good, substantial
` board and comfortable lodging were thus provided, at an
expense not exceeding eighty or ninety dollars per annum.
, Board in private families, including lodging, fuel, and
lights, can be obtained at from $3 O0 to 54.50 per week. l
l

 AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. II i
Each legislative district in the Commonwealth is entitled
to send to this Institution three properly prepared students 1
41   free of tuition. All students, however, pay the required l
l matriculation fee, and also the room fee, if resident upon l ,
g the College grounds. 1
Each matriculate is also required to deposit $2.00 with
the Treasurer to cover damages, This deposit will be re- l
funded when the student leaves College, less the amount of  
damage assessed to the depositor.
All students who occupy the dormitories on the College I
grounds are required to furnish their own rooms.

l Matriculates who enter after the beginning of the second l
term——january 26, 1S8o——will be charged half the foregoing

board in clubs and room upon the grounds, may be summed ‘
up as follows: I

To those who are not provided with county appointments I
the necessary expenditure estimated above will be increased [
` I by the tuition fee, viz: $15.00, making the total for such l
$[20.00.
The amount to be added to the above for clothing and
pocket money will, of course, vary with the habits of the
student. lt is earnestly recommended, however, that pa-
rents and guardians enjoin economy in the former, and _
reduce the latter within the narrowest possible limits.

County appointees are selected by the County ]udge and
Board of Magistrates of the respective Representative dis-
_ tricts entitled to send beneficiaries. An appointment by a _
. County judge is held to be valid until the next regular meet-
ing of the County Magistrates. County appointees, as well
as all other applicants for matriculation, must bring certifi-
` cates of good moral character. Age for admission, fourteen
  years.
In order to assist meritorious young men to defray ex-
` penses, labor will be furnished Z0 zz lZ·7}ZZTL’(l]7IZH/Zbé’}’ af stzrdmls,

haw. Other circumstances being equal, preference will be
given, in the labor department, to county appointees, and
i in the order of their arrival and application for work. All
other matriculates are liable to be occasionally called upon
to work a few hours without compensation, in putting into g
proper condition the grounds around their own quarters, \
. and on the pleasure grounds around the College.
V The success of the Agricultural and Mechanical College
during the last year——the first year of its existence as an "
V - independent Institution—has far exceeded the expectations
‘ of its Board of Visitors and Faculty. During the year
1877—”8 it had but wziezzij/-ugh! matriculates. It closes the
` present collegiate year with me bzzrzdwd mmf rz;g&!cmz—an
increase of overjfj7y pur azz/. For years past it was alleged
to have brought the Kentucky University, with which it
was connected, annually into debt. This year it has paid
all expenses, expended a considerable amount on student
labor, made ample provision for preparatory instruction by __r.
tutors, and although it has realized, as yet, comparatively
nothing from this, its first year`s crop, has, at the close of l
the present fiscal year, an unexpended balance in the Treas-
» ury. These facts prove that an Agricultural and Mechanical
College can be conducted economically and successfully, r
even upon the small income derived Hom the Congressional
V scrip fund, which, up to this time, constitutes its sole endow-

ment. VVith increased confidence, a confidence based upon
last year’s unexpected success, the Board of Visitors, to
` whom is committed, by the Legislature of the Common-
wealth, the management and control ofthe Agricultural and .
Mechanical College of Kentucky, desire to commend it to I
the public. In no College in the State is a more thorough
course of instruction given. In Natural History they be-
lieve it {ar surpasses any Institution in the State in breadth,
in comprehension, and in thoroughness. The fees are A
merely nominal, while in cheapness of living they know  
of no College in the country which can be brought into I
comparison with it.
Now that it is detached from all ecclesiastical entangle-
ment and control, they hope to see it become the basis of
a State Institution such as the geographical position, the
~\ agricultural and mineral resources, and the traditions of
the State require, and which shall accomplish in the no
distant future a great educational work for the Common-
A wealth. ,
