7 THE STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
° msronv.
· AGRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United
7 States owe their origin to an act of Congress, entitled " An
act Donating Public Lands to the several States and Territories
which may provide Colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and the
Mechanic Arts," approved july 2, 1862. The amount of land
li donated was 3,0,000 acres for each representative in the National
Congress. Under this allotment Kentucky received 33,0,000
acres. Several years elapsed before the Commonwealth estab-
lished an Agricultural and Mechanical College under the act.
V When established it was not placed upon an independent basis,
but was made one of the Colleges of Kentucky University, to
;_ which institution the annual interest of the proceeds of the Con-
_ gressional land grant was to be given for the purpose of carrying
Q. on its operations. The land-scrip had meanwhile been sold for
g fifty cents per acre, and the amount received—$ 165,000-invested
V. in six per cent. Kentucky State bonds, of which the State be-
QY came custodian in trust for the College. I
g The connection with Kentucky University continued till 1878,
, when the act of 1865, making it one of the Colleges of said Uni-
versity, was repealed, and a Commission was appointed to rec-
·_ ommend to the Legislature of 1879-80 a plan of organization for
°· an institution, including an Agricultural and Mechanical College,
" such as the necessities of the Commonwealth required. The
city of Lexington oifered to the Commission (which was also
° authorized to recommend to the General Assembly the place
—, which, all things considered, oH`ered the best and greatest induce-
ments for the future and permanent location of the College), the
City Park, containing hfty—two acres of land, within the limits of
this city, and thirty thousand dollars in city bonds, for the erec-
if tion of buildings. This offer the county of Fayette supplemented
, by twenty thousand dollars in county bonds, to be used either
for the erection of buildings or for the purchase of land. The
offers of the city of Lexington and of the county of Fayette
° were accepted by the General Assembly.
. · - I
2 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. _
By the act of incorporation, and the amendments thereto, `
· constituting the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical ·
College of Kentucky, liberal provision is made for educating, I
free of tuition, the energetic young men of the Commonwealth J
whose means are limited. The Normal Department, for which i
provision is also made, is inte11ded to aid in building up the Com- ji
mon School system by furnishing properly qualified teachers.
This College, with the additional departments which will, from K
time to time, be opened as the means placed at the disposal of
the Trustees allow, will, it is hoped, in the not distant future, do
a great work in advancing the educational interest 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 advan- ' T
tages to none. The liberality of the Commonwealth in supple- i _
menting the inadequate annual income arising from the proceeds p
of the land—scrip invested in State bonds, will, it is believed, .
enable the Trustees to begin and carry on, upon a scale commen- fl
surate with the wants of our people, the operations of the insti— {
tution whose management and oversight have been committed »
to them by the General Assembly of Kentucky. Q
LEADING OBJECT.
In the act of Congress making provision for the class of col-
leges to which the State College partly belongs, it is declared .
" that their leading object shall be, without excluding other _
scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to ._
teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and ·
the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical j
education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and ,_
professions in life." To the departments contemplated in the J
` act, a Normal School has been added by the State and an Experi- i
mental Station by the United States. Q
I THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The Normal Department of the State College exists under
the authority of acts of the General Assembly, approved April ‘
23 and April 29, 1880. Section 7 of the first act briefiy defines S
the object for which the Department was established, " a Normal
i . · . .. "'j" ]' ’
_4 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 3
l Department or course of instruction for irregular periods,
Y_ designed more particularly, but not exclusively, to qualify
~ teachers for common and other schools, shall be established in
* S connection with the College." The second act provides the
a; necessary endowment to make the Department effective.
The number of students annually enrolled in the Normal
School has exceeded expectation. As they come from all parts
? of the State, and many of them return well prepared for the pro-
fession of teaching, they must greatly promote the efficiency of
our common schools generally, and demonstrate the wisdom of
the General Assembly in providing an inexpensive Normal
School, centrally located and easy of access, to keep the State
always supplied with well—trained teachers.
* THE KENTUCKY EXPERIMENT STATION.
l This Department of the State College originated in a resolu~
_, tion of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees,.
_ adopted in September, 188 _5,when the Department was organized.
w ,‘. and a Director appointed. In 1886 the Station was recognized
1 and named by the General Assembly, and in 1887 it and a similar
" Station in every other State were each endowed by Congress
A with an annual appropriation of $15,000. I
The work of the Station is directed to two objects: 1. To a
Y constant succession of experiments made by specialists, in order
to learn what applications of science will insure the best returns
* from the farm, the garden, the orchard, the vineyard, the stock-
· yard, and the dairy. 2. To the publication of bulletins announc-
A ing such results of the experiments as are found to be valuable
V to any of our people that seek profit from either of those prime
~ sources of wealth——the soil, the flock, or the herd.
‘· Results of experiments have been published i11 nine reports
and seventy-three bulletins, and general appreciation of their
lp utility is shown in the fact that, while no bulletin is sent except
F upon application for it, the mailing list of the Station contains
more than 8,ooo names, and is ever increasing.
With an ample endowment, a large and commodious building
V planned for the purpose, adequate apparatus, a good experimental
. farm conveniently situated, and seven capable scientists always
employed and in correspondence with other stations, The Ken-
4 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. I
tucky Experiment Station is not only an important adjunct of
the College in the education of students for the leading indus- -
trial pursuits, but directly or indirectly through the wide and
_ continual diffusion of knowledge for the benefit of so large a A
proportion of our population, it is bound to be extremely useful .
to the Commonwealth at large. gi
LOCATION. V
The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky is Q
established in the old City Park grounds of the City of Lexington,
given to the Commonwealth for this purpose. The site is elevated,
and commands a good view of the city and surrounding .
country. ` Q
Lexington is now the most important railroad center in Ken-
tucky, being in immediate communication with Louisville, Cin- ·
cinnati, Maysville, Chattanooga, and with more than seventy ,
counties in the Commonwealth. The long-established reputation V
of the city for refinement and culture renders it attractive as a {
seat of learning, and the large body of fertile country adjacent, {_.
known as the " Blue Grass Region," with its splendid stock
farms, aifords unsurpassed advantages to the student of agricul— _
ture who desires to make himself familiar with the best breeds
of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine in America.
onouuos.
The campus of the College consists of fifty-two acres of land, A
located within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South —
Limestone Street electric car line extends along the greater part T
of its western border, giving opportunity to reach in a few min- 'Y
utes 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 I
being made. A portion of the land has recently been reserved
for a botanical garden in which will be grown the more desirable _. ·
° native plants, with a view to testing their adaptability to cultiva—
tion, and to give increased facilities to students taking agricul—
tural and biological courses. Two and a half acres, forming the ii
northeast portion of the campus, inclosed and provided with a V.
grand stand, is devoted to the field sports of students. g
. , _ Y. {T" J ’
I STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 5
‘ About three quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the
- Nicholasville pike, an extension of South Limestone Street, is
the Experiment Station Farm, consisting of forty-eight and a
, half acres. Here the iield experiments of the Station are con-
; ducted, and students have opportunities to witness tests of vari-
eties of field crops, dairy tests, fertilizer tests, fruit-spraying
tests, in short, all the scientific experimentation of a thoroughly
·: equipped and organized Station. The front of the farm is past-
,l ure and orchard. The back portion is divided off into two hun-
dred one-tenth acre plots, for convenience in making crop tests.

A The main college building is a structure of stone and brick,
140 feet long and 68 feet in width. It contains the office of the
I President and of the Business Agent, and on the third floor,
, counting the basement floor as one, is the chapel, in which each
A day the students and Faculty meet, and in which are held public
T i gatherings and such other meetings as bring together the entire
.. student body. The remaining space in this building is occupied
» by recitation rooms and by the society rooms of the students.
· jp The Station building is a handsome structure, well planned I
¤ .g_ for the object for which it is made. It is seventy feet in length
by Hfty-four feet in width, with a tower projection in front, and
T an octagonal projection eighteen by eighteen on the north side.
*; The building is two stories high, and a basement eleven feet
, from floor to ceiling. The main entrance is on the first floor, on
i , the west side of the building, through an archway fifteen feet
t , wide. The basement is occupied in part by the Station and in
- 9 part by the College. The next floor above is devoted to oHice
, and laboratory work of the Station, while the upper floor accom-
g P. modates the College work in Chemistry.
r The building devoted to Mechanical Engineering covers alto-
l -_ gether an area of about 2o,ooo feet, is constructed of stone and
2 · pressed brick, and is well furnished with modern conveniences
- for work in this branch of engineering.
- Two large brick dormitories on the campus afford boarding
2 conveniences for students who wish to lessen expense in this
i Y direction. Other buildings on the campus are a brick dwelling
for the President and a cottage occupied by the Comniandant.

Science Hall, built during the last year for the Departments i
of Natural Science, is 96 x Q7 feet, of pressed brick trimmed with `
Bowling Green limestone. The wide halls, the numerous and
4 spacious lecture-rooms, laboratories, and oflices in its three stories
are well lighted, well furnished, and conveniently arranged.
On the Experiment Farm are a brick dwelling occupied by _
A the Director of the Station, and the usual farm buildings for the Y
care of tools, the protection of stock, and the like. K
DEVELOPMENT. ,
The growth of the College from year to year is shown in the
following summary :
1862. To establish and endow a college, chiefly for instruction in t
agriculture and the mechanic arts, an act of Congress apportioned to each .
State, for each of its Senators and Representatives in Congress, 30,000 V
acres of the public land. i
1865. The General Assembly of Kentucky having accepted the State’s
portion under the conditions prescribed, established the Agricultural and i
” Mechanical College, making it one of the colleges of Kentucky University, ‘`_
then recently united with Transylvania University and located at Lex-
ington, citizens of Lexington and its vicinity donating $110,000 to the I
Curators of the University to buy a site for the College. The General >
Assembly having authorized the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to
sell the 330,000 acres apportioned to Kentucky, by the mismanagement of {
the C01nrnissi0uers‘ agent the State realized for its land only $165,000. y
1866. The College opened with a President, four Professors, and a i
Cominandant. `
