with Louisville, Cincinnati, Maysville, and Chattanooga, and with more
than seventy counties of the Commonwealth. And when the six pro-
jected interurban railways are completed, their numerous daily trains
will enable students to attend the College from their homes as far as
twenty miles away.
GROUNDS.
The campus of the College consists of fifty-two acres of land, located
within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone Street
electric car line extends along the greater part of its western border,
giving 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 a
choice variety of native and exotic trees and shrubs, to which additions `
are constantly being made. A portion of the land has recently been
reserved for a botanical garden, in which will be grown the most desir-
able native plants, with a view to testing their adaptability to cultiva-
tion and to give increased facilities to students taking agricultural and
biological courses. Two and a half acres, forming the northeast portion
of the campus, inclosed and provided with a grand stand, is devoted to
the field sports of students.
About three quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nich-
olasville pike, an extension of South Limestone Street, is the Experi-
ment Station Farm, consisting of two hundred and three acres, to which
sixty-four and a half acres have been added by recent purchase. Here
the field experiments of the Station are conducted, and students have ,
opportunities to witness tests of varieties of field crops, dairy tests,
fertilizer tests, fruit-spraying tests; in short, all the scientific experi-
1 mentation of a thoroughly equipped and organized Station. The front
of the farm is pasture and orchard. The back portion is divided off
into two hundred one—tenth acre plots, for convenience in making crop
tests.
