  of the county of Fayette were accepted by the General Assembly.
7 By the act of incorporation, and the amendments thereto, con-
5 stituting the charter ofthe 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
v furnishing properly qualihed Teachers. This College, with the
p associated departments which will, from time to time, be opened as
E the means placed at the disposal of the Trustees allow, will, it is
hoped, in the no distant future, do a great work in advancing the
educational interests of`Kentucky. Being entirely undenominational
in its character, it will appeal with confidence 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 of the Common-
wealth 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 ascale
commensurate with the wants of our people, the operations of the
' Institution whose management and oversight have been committed
l to them by the General Assembly of Kentucky.
