U. K. Campus in Its
IJauty Is Romantic
Land Upon Which University
Stands Was Known as
Maxwell Woods
The campus of the University has
a background of tradition and
scenic beauty that is as romantic
as it is historically Interesting.
The land upon which the University stands is a portion of that sec-

tion of Lexington which was known
in revolutionary times as Maxwell
Woods, and was so named because
it was the plot of land claimed by
John Maxwell and his bride Sarah,
who were the first settlers to stake
a claim and build a cabin outside
of the protecting walls of Fort Lexington.
The little log house which was
the first home of John and Sarah
Maxwell was erected on the spot
where Patterson hall, women's residence hall at the University, now
stands. The home of President and
Mrs. McVey, Maxwell Place, is so
named because of its location In
the heart of what was formerly
Maxwell Woods.
Tradition has it that Henry Clay
once said that "a man could not
consider himself a Kentucklan until
he had watered his horse at Maxwell Spring," a spring located on
the University campus, which was,
until the erection of the new stadium, protected by an old spring
house.

The land in and near the

Univer-

sity of Kentucky football field has
been the training ground for five
wars the battle of the Revolution;
the War of 1812; The War Between

the States; the Spanish-Americand the World War. Formerly it
was used for a public meeting place
which made it easily accessible for
training quarters, and during later
years, since the University of Kentucky has occupied its historic
ground. It has been a military camp
during military encounters.
Near Mechanical hall of the College of Engineering, there is preserved, on a cement block, a section
of the first railroad in the west, the
old Lexington and Ohio railroad.
An interesting sun laboratory, presented to the College of Engineering by Mr. Percy H. Johnston, New
York City, tests the effect of heat
and light on plants and animals.
