PATTERSON HALL.  .
This Hall, a home for the young women of the College, is a large and i
handsome three-story structure of about a hundred and fifty feet front, built j
- on a fine site of more than three acres lying along the electric railway on  V
South Limestone Street. Within a quarter of a mile of the College on the ,  
south, a half mile of the Court House, the Phoenix Hotel and the Post·office Z
on the north, and distant not more than ten minutes by rail from the princi-  v_
pal churches of the city, Patterson Hall is, for all purposes, admirably _
located. The building is heated by steam, lighted by gas and electricity,  
and supplied with the purest of water. It has a roomy front porch of 12 by  {
70 feet, wide halls, a closet in every bed room, and thirteen bath rooms.  .
\Vith walks, drives and numerous old forest trees, the spacious front lawn is ~
an inviting place for exercise, for which ample provision has also been made ;
on the extensive grounds, with a tennis court, in the rear, as well as in the ,
large gymnasium. 1 
Sixty-two commodious and well-furnished rooms afford accommoda—  
tion fora hundred and twenty-four occupants for whom the careful and
judicious matron will provide lodging free, and excellent board for $3 a /
week, the inmates furnishing their own napkins and towels, and their own =
bedding, except mattresses and pillows, and paying their laundry bills. `
Built durably of stone, brick, wood and iron, and made practically fire-
proof, at a cost of $60,000; with adequate provision for heat, light, ventila- ’
tion, bathing and exercise, this Hall offers all the comforts and conveniences .
l of a well-appointed l1o111e. Q
County appointees are first supplied with rooms, and these, by act of the  
Legislature, are assigned by lot.  L
Probably no educational institution in the South affords a more attract-  
ive home for young women; and those who are favored with a county ap- 3
pointment, the mode of obtaining which is set forth elsewhere in this cata-  V
logue, will find that residence at The State College is brought within the  ·
means of any young woman \Vl1O earnestly desires to fit herself for a life of
usefulness. Q

. 73 [ _ '1`HE STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.  
75  
I   c r-usronv.  
S2  . AGRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United States owe l
. 86   their origin to an act of Congress entitled "An Act Donating Public
, 87   Lands to the several States and Territories which may provide Colleges for
· 91 V the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts," approved july 2, 1862.
. 91 : The amount of land donated was 30,000 acres for each representative in the
. 01 V National Congress. Under this allotment Kentucky received 330,000 acres.
. 91 ` Several years elapsed before the Commonwealth established an Agricultural
. 92 and Mechanical College under this act. When established it was not placed
.103 . upon an independent basis, but was made one of the Colleges of Kentucky
104 University, to which institution the annual interest of the proceeds of the
N4  Q Congressional land grant was to be given for the purpose of carrying on its
120   operations. The land·scrip had meanwhile been sold for Hfty cents per acre,
121  - andthe amount received—$l65,000——invested in six per cent. Kentucky State
Wl  Y bonds, of which the State became custodian in trust for the College.
121  , The connection with Kentucky University continued till 1878, when the
.121 ‘ act of 1865, making it one of the Colleges of said University, was repealed;
.122 ‘ and a Commission was appointed to recommend to the Legislature of 1879-
.122 80 a plan of organization for an institution, including an Agricultural and {
.123   Mechanical College, such as the necessities of the Commonwealth required.
.124 ‘ 4 The city of Lexington offered to the Commission (which was also author-
.124 ized to recommend to the General Assembly the place which, all things con-
.124 sidered, offered the best and greatest inducements for the future and perma-
.120   nent location of the College,) the City Park, containing fifty—two acres of {
.126 1 land within the limits of the city, and thirty thousand dollars of city bonds
.120 Q for the erection of buildings. This oifer the county of Fayette supplemented
.121  ' by twenty thousand dollars in county bonds, to be used either for the erect-
.121  L ion of buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of the city of Lex-
.121 . ington and the county of Fayette were accepted by the General Assembly.
.128 ·’  By the act of incorporation and the amendments thereto, constituting
.130  A the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, liberal _
131 ir  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
U School system by furnishing properly qualified teachers. This College, with
-` the additional departments which shall, from 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
 Y with conlidence to the people of all creeds and of no creed, and will endeavor,
V /

in strict conformity with the requirements of its organic law, to afford equal S
advantages to all, exclusive advantages to none. The liberality of the Com-  `
monwealth in supplementing the inadequate annual income arising from the  
proceeds of the land-scrip invested in State bonds, has enabled the Trustees  i
to begin and carry on, upon a scale commensurate with the wants of our  
people, the operations of the institution whose management and oversight  _
have been committed to them by the General Assembly of Kentucky.  _
i SCOPE OF STUDIES.  .
ln the act of Congress making provision for the class of colleges to 5 
which the State College partly belongs, it is declared "that their leading  ·
object shall be, without excluding other scieutinc 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 education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and pro- '
fessions in life." To the three departments of agriculture, the mechanic I
arts, and military science, contemplated in the act as indispensable, a Nor-  y`
mal School has been added by the State and an Experimental Station by the _‘
United States, while liberal provision has been made for instruction in all '
branches of science and in the classics, so that this institution is far more  ,
than an agricultural and mechanical college, embracing, as it does, not mere-
ly the three original departments, but iifteen others.  
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. Sec- .
tion 7 of the Erst act briefly denes the object for which the Department was qi
established, "a Normal Department or course of instruction for irregular  
periods, designed more particularly, but not exclusively, to qualify teachers ,
for common and other schools, shall be established in connection with the
College." The second act provides the necessary endowment to make the . _
, Department effective. _'
Ten years ago, in order to prepare young men and women for doing the I 
highest work in their chosen profession, the Department of Pedagogy was  _
established, with a four years’ collegiate course, offering Pedagogy as a major _
study. The attendance upon this course has steadily increased, and the work
done has been of a high order.  K
THE KENTUCKY EXPERIMENT STATION. ¤
The Agricultural Experiment Station of the State College of Kentucky '
was established by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees i¤
September 1885, when the Department was organized and a Director appoint-  `
ed. In 1886 the Station was recognized and named by the General Assembly, V
and in 1887 it became the beneficiary of the first annual appropriation of  _ A
$l5,000 under the Hatch act providing for the establishment of Agricultural V.
Experiment Stations in the several States and Territories. ·
The work of the Station is directed to two objects: 1. To a constant ·

qual succession of experiments made by specialists, in order to learn what appli-  
om- 2 cations of science will insure the best returns from the farm, the garden, the  
the ,-¢  orchard, the vineyard, the stockyard, and the dairy. 2. To the publication .
atees   of bulletins announcing such results of the experiments as are found to be
our  h valuable to those of the people of Kentucky who seek profit from any of
ight  ` those prime sources of wealth—the soil, the flock, and the herd.  
‘ Results of experiments have been published in fourteen annual reports
A and one hundred and eighteen bulletins, and general appreciation of their
i, utility is shown in the fact that, while no bulletin is sent except upon appli-
Eé t°   cation for it, the mailing list of the Station contains about 9,000 names, and
dmg “ is ever increasing.
and  L With an ample endowment, a large and commodious building planned
lated for the purpose, adequate apparatus, a good experimental farm conveniently
and  ` situated, and a staff of Hfteen scientists engaged in seven divisions of re-
Prly ‘ search and in correspondence with other stations, the Kentucky Experiment
mm Station is not only an important adjunct to the College in the education of
Nm" ; students for the leading industrial pursuits, but, directly or indirectly through
Ythe  ° the wide and continual diffusion of knowledge for the benefit of so large a
lu all I  proportion of our population, it is bound to be extremely useful to the Com-
mom ‘ monwealth at large.
mere-  . LOCATION .
1 The State College of Kentucky is established in the Old City Park, just
’ ‘ within the southern boundary of Lexington and near the Cincinnati South-
. » ern Railway. The site is elevated and commands a good view` of much of
mm), _ the city and of the surrounding country. I
Seo _,  Lexington, now a growing city of thirty-odd thousand inhabitants, is in _
it Via; U  the heart of the far-famed Bluegrass region, a region distinguished for fertil-
iggeis ity and healthfulness, wealth and beauty. Numerous schools and churches,
E the `-  an intelligent and refined population, well paved streets, handsome build- °
pe the 3 lugs, extensive water-works, and an unsurpassed system of street electric
` railways make Lexington attractive as a seat of learning and place of resi-
lg the - dence, while the splendid stock farms scattered over the large body of fertile
ry was · Country around it adord advantages hardly equaled elsewhere for the student
kmjor  I who desires to become familiar with the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep,
_W0rk .,  and swine in America, Moreover, with railroads diverging in seven direct-
‘ - ions, Lexington is the railroad center of Kentucky, and in direct connection i
 , with Louisville, Cincinnati, Maysville, Huntington, and Chattanooga, and
with more than seventy counties of the Commonwealth. And when to the
ltuclfy  I €l€Ctric railways now in operation to Georgetown and Paris, that to Ver-
ieeé m T  Sailles, to be opened in 1905, and those projected to Winchester, Richmond,

car line extends along the western border of the campus, affording oppor- .
tunity 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, il 
A portion of the land has recently been reserved for a botanical garden, in ·
which will be grown the most desirable native plants, with a view to testing
their adaptability to cultivation and to giving 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, are devoted to the field sports of the students. Q
About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas- g
ville pike, an extension of South Limestone street, is the Experiment Sta- ,
tion Farm, consisting of about two hundred and three acres. Here the field  
experiments of the Station are conducted, and students have opportunities  s
to witness tests of varieties of field crops, dairy tests, fertilizer tests, fruit- 1
spraying tests; in short, all the scientific experimentation of a thoroughly  »
equipped and organized Station. The front of the farm is pasture and orch- `
ard. The back portion is divided off into two hundred one-tenth acre g
plots, for convenience in making crop tests.

 6 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. `
DEVELOPMENT. {
. The growth of the College from year to year is shown as follows 1 _
1862, To establish and endow a college, chiefly for instruction in agriculture and the _ _
mechanic arts, an act of Congress apportioned to each State, for each oi its Senators and `_
Representatives in Congress, 30.000 acres ot the public land.  
1865. The General Assembly of Kentucky having accepted the State’s portion under  _
the conditions prescribed, established the Agricultural and Mechanieal College, making it  '
one of the colleges of Kentucky University, then recently united with Transylvania Uni- .
versity and located at Lexington, citizens of Lexington and its vicinity donating $110,000 to  .
the Curators of the University to buy a site for the College. The General Assembly having 9
authorized the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to sell the 330,000 acres apportioned to  Q
Kentucky, by the mismanagement of the Commissioners‘ agent the State realized for its
land only $165,000. T
1866. The College opened with a President, four Professors, and a Commandant.  Y
1878. Dissatisfied with the management of the College by the Curators, who were ;
engaged in a long iactional strife, the General Assembly severed the connection with the  ’
University, and appointed a commission to re·l0cate the College, to provide for its continu.  I
ance in Operation till re—located, and to prepare "a plan for a first-class University." Ken.
tucky University claiming and retaining the former site of the College, the sole property og ’
the latter after the severance was an income of $9,990 derived from the land grant. P
1880. The City of Lexington offering the City Park of Fifty-two acres as a new site for t
the College, and also $30,000 in bonds, and the County of Fayette offering $20,000 besides, *
the General Assembly ratified the selection of the site made by a majority of the commis-  
sion, and located the College permanently in Lexington. P
1880. To privide teachers for the Common Schools of the State and for other schools `
the General Assembly added to the College a Normal Department, which should admit. .
besides other students, one from each representative district every year free of tuition. — .
1880. Further to endow the College and to enable it to purchase apparatus, machinery.
implements, and a library; to maintain the Normal Department, and to defray other neces-
sary expenses, the General Assembly imposed a tax of one-half cent on each hundred dol-  ,
lars of the assessed value of all property in the State liable to taxation for State revenue  -
and belonging to its white inhabitants.
1880. The Classical and Normal Departments, and the Academy added. `
1882- The College Building, the First Dormitory, and the President’s house completed.  v
1885. The C0mmandant’s House reconstructed. I
1887. To enlarge by experiments and to diffuse the knowledge of agriculture, an act
of Congress established, under the direction of the Agricultural and Mechanical College in
each State, an Agricultural Experiment Station, appropriating for its support $15,000 per  ‘
V annum. 8
1887. The Department of Civil Engineering established, an experimental farm of  `
forty—eight acres purchased, and the College greenhouse built. Q
1889. The Experiment Station Building completed. ·
1890. The Second Dormitory completed. -
