`. — ` located within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone eql
` ' electric car line extends along the western border of the campus, afford- fm
. ing 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 achoice XH
variety of native and exotic trees and shrubs, to which additions are am
constantly being made. Two and a half acres forming the northeast Hm
- portion of the campus, enclosed and provided with grand-stands, are de- mi
voted to the field sports of the students. PY
About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas- M
ville pike, is the Experiment Station farm, consisting of two hundred fol
and forty-three acres. Here the field experiments of the Station are We
_ conducted, and students have opportunities to witness tests of varieties u$'
` of field crops, dairy tests, fertilizer tests, fruit spraying tests; in short, WU
_ · all the scientific experimentation of a thoroughly organized Station. The pm
front of the farm is pasture and orchard. The rear portion is divided W
off into two one-tenth acre plots, for convenience in making crop tests.
