Kentucky realized little or nothing
from. its land scrip. We had just
emerged from the Civil War. Institutions of learning in the South and
Southwest were prostrate. Many of
the states were bankrupt Kentucky
suffered much during the Civil War,
but in no proportion commensurate
with its area. Notwithstanding this,
people in Kentucky were thinking of
anything else than, education. The

east and without exercising much discretion placed the stock upon the market and sold it for fifty cents per acre,
realizing from that magnifiicent domain giyen by Congress for the" foundation and endowment of a college to
supply, its citizens instruction in agri

$165,000. Even this small sum seem

established for higher learning, which
up until that time thought themselves
well provided with an endowment
fund of $100,000 or $150,000.
The college was placed in successful operation with a small, but able
and energetic faculty, and supplied
instruction as best it could with the
means at its disposal. They managed
tolerably well to give instruction in
the rudiments of physics, chemistry,
botany and zoology, thus laying the
foundation for a system cf practical
education which it was hoped would
come into being when the income of
the institution became larger. But
practical instruction was out of the
question. There were no laboratories
.other than those of the most rudimentary character and no instruction

of 1880.
