OF Til 13 UNIVERSITY

To know the history and needs of the University of Kentucky one lias
only to read the following article prepared by Dr. Frank L. McVey, for the
Bond Issue Campaign Book:
The University of Kentucky is one of agricultural and mechanical col
leges that owes its origin to the Morrill Act of July 2, 18G2. Instead of
establishing at once, as most states did, a higher educational institution, the
Legislature did not place it upon an independent basis but made it one of
the colleges of Kentucky University, now Transylvania College. To this
institution the annual interest of the proceeds of the Congressional land
grant was given for the purpose of carrying on its operations. This con
tinucd until 1878, when the act was repealed and a commission appointed
to work out a plan for a state university. The city of Lexington offered
the commission the city park containing 52 acres of land and $30,000 of
city bonds which gift was supplemented by an additional 20,000 in bonds
given by Fayette county. With the money buildings were erected and the
institution established at Lexington. In 1908 the name of the institution
was changed from Agricultural and Mechanical. College to that of State
University and it was again modified in 191G to the title of University of
in its character; it ap

peals with confidence to the people of all creeds and endeavors, in strict
conformity to the requirements of the law, to afford equal advantages to
all and exclusive privileges to none.
As n department of the university, the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion was created in September, 1885, under the vnrious provisions of federal law which provide nnnunl appropriations for the support of the Experiment Station. In 1912 the legislature voted an appropriation of $50,000
in addition to the amounts granted by the federal government for this work.
The purpose of the station is to carry on a continuous succession of
experiments by specialists in order to learn what the application of science
will do in bringing the best returns from the farm, the garden, the orchard,
the vineyard, the stock yards and the dairy. In addition to this the Lx
pcriment Station is engaged in publication of bulletins announcing the re
suits of these experiments which have brought untold advantages to the

tural College of the University of Kentucky. Under the provisions of this
act, county agents are maintained in the counties of the state, and special
home demonstration and agricultural agents arc employed to carry on
the work of agricultural education.
The teaching division of the university is divided into six colleges, the
Summer Session and the Unversity Extension. The colleges and schools
thus established are those of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Agricultural,
Law, Education and Graduate Work. The university also maintains a li
brary which can be used by citizens of the state. This library now con
