In 1865 there existed in Kentucky four or five denominational
colleges each of which was doing good academic work along the old class
ical lines. Before the outbreak of the Civil Far keen rivalry stimu-
lated competition and kept standards high. They did not rank with the
old colleges of the East but what they did, they did well. The degree
of A. B. still suggested some Latin and Greek in its curriculum, and
that of B. S. some physical and chemical science. The Chair of Phil—
osophy was considered the chair of honor and the ability with which
it was filled gave dignity and prestige to the Institution.

In 1862 Congress had made liberal provision for instruction in
those branches of learning related to lgriculture and the Mechanic Arts
"without excluding other scientific and classical studies and includ—
ing military tactics in such manner as the Legislatures of the States
may reSpectively prescribe in order to promote the liberal and practi—
cal education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and

professions of life."

«For this purpose Congress granted public lands in prOportion
to representation in Congress. The allotment to Kentucky was 550,800
acres, an area amounting to over 515 sduare miles. The State did
not consider itself prepared at that time to establish such a college
as the organic laws contemplated and the dignity of the Commonwealth
required, upon an independent basis and readily acceded to the pro-
nosal of the recently consolidated Kentucky and Transylvania Universi—
ties to engraft her College upon the new institution as one of its .

Associated Colleges. In 1865 this union was effected and in October

1866, the Agricultural and Mechanical College, known for many years

c.2-

as State College, and which has since grown into the University of Ken-

tucky, opened its doors for matriculation of students. The inc0me of

.the new University was about $25,000 of which $9,900 belonged to the
'Agricultural and Mechanical College and Was applied to its sole and ex—
clusive use. Few of its matriculates were ready for college work.
Eive—sixthfof its students were in the preparatory department, a depart—
ment then indiSpensable, because of the backwardness of education in

the State. Outside of Louisville, so far as I am aware, no High School
at that time existed. For some years the alliance worked well. Educa-
tion was in consequence of the war prostrate in the South and West.

‘ Students flocked in from Kentucky and the adjacent States. In 1870 the
matriculation reached its maxium 767, of which the Agricultural and
Mechanical College had 500. But religious dissension over the management
and policy of the institution by the governing Board began to loom up.
The quarrels were Carried into the General Assembly. Failing to eliminate
‘John B. Bowman, the Creator of the Consolidation, a man of liberal views
and of larger ideas on education than those held by the majority of his
co-religionists, the Christian Church withdrew its patronage, causing
thereby a rapid decline in attendance and reoutation. The crisis culmin-
ated in 1878 when the Legislature intervened and withdrew the Agricul~
tural and Mechanical College from its unfortunate conneCtion. Then the
separation took place the igricultural and Mechanical College was nowhere.
It had neither land nor buildings, nor equipment, nothing except $9,900,
the income derived from the invested funds which had accrued from the
Sale of the land scrip given by Congress for its endowment. The General
Assembly of 1878 appointed a Commission to locate it. This commission,
adv rtised for bids. Bowling Green and Lexington were the only competi-
tors. The former offered an alliance with Ogden College and $50,000

in bonds for the purchase of land. The latter offered its city park as

-5-
a site for buildings, and the City and County added to this offer $50,000
in bonds for the erection of buildings or the purchase of land. The
d latter, after much opposition from its old partner the Kentucky Univer—
sity, was accepted by the Legislature. John 3. Bowman had failed to real-

ize his expectation of a great university which should give a lead to

education in the South and southwest, but he had created conditions uncon-

sciously which resulted in the establishment of a greater University
founded exclusively on secular lines and which should ere the close of the
century assert and vindicate the the principle of State aid for higher
education, and of State control of State institutions. Let us not hesitate
in the celebration of this our jubilee to award theTneed of praise which
is his due to John B. Bowman, the Stalwart Champion of Higher Education
in Kentucky.
After its location had been determined the General assembly of‘

1880 considered the question of future endowment and adequate maintenance.
various plans were preposed. imid strong Opposition from the denomination-
al Colleges the General assembly passed by small majorities an act giving
it annually the proceeds of a tax of one half of one cent on each hundred
dollars of taxable property owned by white persons in the Commonwealth.

The income was thus at once increased from $9,900 per annum to $27,500.

PERIOD OE OPPOSITION.

It was hoped that the strong Opposition which the one—half
cent tax had encountered throughout the State and in the Legislature of
1880 would gradually subside and finally disappear after the adjournment
of the General Assembly. Not so however, The denominational Colleges
formed the nucleus of an Opposition which grew rather than diminished and
the members of the late General Assembly who had voted against the tax
stimulated the hostility to the College. The pulpits of the Presbyterian,
the Baptist, the Christian and the Methodist rang with the "iniquity and
injustice of the tax", and made it an issue in the next election. It was

quite apparent that when the next General Assembly should convene the ex-

istence of the tax would be imperilled with the odds strongly against the

College.

I happened to be in Louisville on the 18th of November, 1881.
Former business relations with the Courier-Journal suggested that ur.
Tatterson be invited to make the address of dedication of the College Build?
ing then in process of erection. While in the Courier—Journal office, at
night, waiting for an interview, the Managing Editor brought me a cosy of
an article signed by representatives of the Colleges, viz, Central
hUniversity, Kentucky University, and Centre, Georgetown, Kentucky Yes—
leyan, and Bethel Colleges, which would appear in the issue of the follow-
ing morning. This manifesto Was addressed to the peoole of Kentucky, but
Was especially intended for the members of the General Assembly who would
.convene in Frankfort on the 28th of November._ The paper was adroitly and
ably drawn, embodying much that was germane to education as then existing
in Kentucky. Its appearance was so timed that it was exaected to reach

the members elect of the General assembly at their homes before setting

-5...
out for Frankfort. The brief interval intervening would scarcely, it was
thought, leave time for a reply and thus public opinion would in great
measure be formed before the AsSembly convened.
With this conviction I determined to remain in Louisville anoth-
er day and answer it before my return. The Manifesto of the Colleges ap—

peared in the issue of the 19th and my reply on the morning of the 20th of

November and the Same Post which Carried the attack carried in most cases

the defcnse. The assailants happily were placed on the defensive and kept

there.

By individual letters addressed to the Senators before the 18th
of November I had anticipated most of the vital ooints in the Lani unto
and had done much to explain and conciliate. I argued that while the
denominational Colleges had done a great and an indiSpensable work in lay—
ing the foundation of the classical and liberal education which the 00m—
monwealth required, that the time had come for a new departure in educa—
tion for the endowment of which Congress had made provision, that Kentuckys
allotment of land had been practically wasted, that it devolved upon the
State having accepted the trust to make good the deficiency caused by mis-
management, and that the agricultural and Mechanical College had neither
the diaposition nor the intention to interfere with the work of the exist-
ing Colleges, that the new institution to the maintenance of which the
State was committed should make provision not only for the classical and
liberal education which Congress contemplated but for those scientific
subjects which lie at the foundation of modern agricultural and industrial
development, and that provision for the endowment of research followed as
a necessary consequence, museums, laboratories and mechanical appliances
unknown to the collegiate work of the existing Colleges were indispensable,
and that whereas the former thought in hundreds of dollars the latter

must think in thousands and tens of thousands. Endowment by private

-6—

benefaction might suffice for the Colleges of the olden time, but endowment
by the State was an absolute neccessity for the College and University of
the modern type.

When the Legislature assembled the outlook was gloomy in the extreme.
Blanton and Dudley, and Beatty, Miller and Wagner were there representing
the Colleges. Dozens of letters for the members came in by every mail pro—
testing against the iniquity and the continuance of the tax. To add to our
embarrassment we had been misled by our architects. The buildings were only
half completed and the money was all expended. It became apparent that un-
less we could borrow money to complete the half erected buildings we must
suspend Operations. Moreover if our embarrassments should become known the
General Assembly would hesitate to provide money for an institution which
did not know how to spend it judiciosly. ‘The banks refused to lend except
on personal security - inasmuch as the College having Only a contingent int-
erest in the property given by the City had nothing to mortgage. In this
emergency I hypothecated with the Northern Bank my own collaterals, borrow-
ed the money and placed it in the hands of the Executive Committee to carry
on the work on the building and took the noted of the University for repay—
ment, well knowing that if the one—half cent tax were repealed, I should
lose all. Indeed the Senator from Fayette said to me, "You have done a very
foolish thing. The Legislature is likely to repeal the tax and in that ev-
ent you will lose all." Dr. Ormond Beatty, President of Centre College, pre-
sented before a crowded audience of Senators and Representatives the argu-
ment for the repeal of the tax. He characterized it as ”unwise, unjust, ex-

cessive, Oppressive." When his argument was completed the belief was strong

that the tax was doomed. It fell to me to make the argument for the College

which I did a few days later. ”hen the audience adjourned sentiment had
apparently changed and the tide had evidently begun to run in favor of the

tax. The assailants then discovered that the tax was unconstitutional

-7-
and without further delay made a direct onslaught upon it,first before the

General assembly and later before the Courts. The ablest legal talent in

Kentucky, Ex—chief Justice Lindsay, Alex P. Humphrey, Colonel Bennett H.

Young and James Trabue, was employed. after the conclusion of Judge Lind-
say's argument the cause of the College seemedhopeless. John 0. Carlisle
was asked by the Chairman of the Executive Committee to defend the Consti-
tutionality of the tax. the enamined lrticle XI of the old Constitution

and promptly declined saying "You have no case? In this emergency an Oppor-
tune suggestion from J. P. Metcalfe, a former Reporter of the Court of Ap—
peals, viz; that I should look into the debates which preceded the adOption
of the Constitution induced me to try what a layman might do. I ventured

to prepare and deliver before a full House a reply and much to my surprise
won on every point along the whole line. The discomfiture of client and coun—
eel was complete. The tax was saved.

But after the adjournment of the Legislature a suit was brought in
the Chancellor‘s Court in Louisville to test the validity of the Law. The
Chancellor's Court allowed me to file as a brief the argument which I had
made before the Legislature and on that brief the College won. The contest—
ants appealed, I filed my brief with the appelate Court also and some years
later Judge Holt writing the opinion affirmed the constitutionality of the
act. The Judge said that he based his opinion on the lines of the brief
which I had submitted.

Then our buildings were completed we had a debt of $57,000 but by the
most rigid economy every dollar was paid within three years, and no one out—
side of the Board of Trustees knew anything of our embarrassment till after
the debt was paid.

I had counted upon the active opposition of the denominational Col—
leges and of a large number of their co-religionists in the General Assembly
but I had not anticipated and Was not prepared for the active'and energetic

and bitter Opposition which the tax encountered from the Agriculturists,and

—8-
from the Grange organizations which represented them. They did not want
an institution which might grow into a University. They Wanted an agri-
cultural college pure and simple, with blacksmith and carpenter sheps at—
tached. They wanted no ”Mechanic nrts” which might develop into techinal
schools, no scientific studies other than the most meager outlines and
these directly related to farming. (We employed one of the most highly
educated veterinarians in America, who after every effort had been made
to secure students’in the course of two or three years resigned because
he could get no pupils). For the maintenance of an lgricultural College,
the igriculturists of the State thought the annual income from the con—
gressional script fund sufficient. Kore would only seduce the management
of the College to establish courses of study for liberal education and for
this the denominational Colleges already existing could supply all that
the State required. This unreasoning, obstinate hostility was even more
difficult to overcome than the opposition of the Colleges. Clardy and
Green and Bird and Logan and Hanna were not men to be readily convinced by
argument nor won over by diplomatic tact. A Propaganda of more than 20
years was required for an vauiescent support of Staie aid for scientific
agriculture. The fruits of this missionary work you witness today. there
[formerly they bitterly opposed the appropriation of hundreds they now read-
ily vote thousands for instruction in agriculture, and where with difficulty
we could get a dozen or a score of students in agriculture, the College of
-igriculture now vies with all the others in the number of its matriculates.

'Dozens and scores of the leaders however lived to regret the part
which they had taken and to congratulate the College on the success which
it had under Providence achieved.

The late Honorable Cassius h. Clay was kind enough to say in a pub-

lic address which he made in 1909 that the great achievement of my life

was the education of the peeple of Kentucky into the conviction that it is

the duty of the State to make adequate provision for higher education.

-9-

This accomplished all else logically follows. But though the battle was

won the fruits of victory were not easily retained. In every General iss-
embly from 1885 to 1890 opposition to the continuance of the tax existed

and motions to repeal were introduced; Committees of Investigation were ap-
pointed. The College was harassed and annoyed and required to show its pass-
ports at every turn.

In 1887 I assisted in securing an annual appropriation from Congress
for the Exocriment SiatiOn which I had established two years before. The
Generil assembly aeanwhile had given the Station control over the sale of
fertilizers with a royalty on every nackage sold. In 1890 I aided in obtain-
ing from the Federal Government an appropriation of sixth-sevenths of $25,000

as additional income for the rgricultural and Lechanical College.

PERIOD or CONCILIlTlON

The first Legislature which met after the adoption of the new
Constitution was charged with the duty of bringing the Statutes LT
'State into harmony with the organic law. The Charter of 1880 accord?
ingly underwent revision. The question arose how to allay the public dis—
content in regard to the one—half cent tax. The Opposition came mainly
Efrom the outlying counties. They said we pay a snecial tax for the support
of a College in Central Kentucky from which we derivelittle or no benefit.
Free tuition given to county appointees is an insignificant return for what
we pay. Geographical conditions make it virtually a college for lexington

1" and the adjacent counties. The Legislature of 1893 felt the justice of this

[i1 contention and determined to equalize advantages as far as possible. The

'ejoint committee on the College at the instance of Representative Ferguson

57nd Senator DeBow recommended the following section of the revised Charter
Viwhich was adOpted, viz; "That each Legislative Representative district in
consideration of the incomes accruing to said institution under the present
laws for the benefit of the Agricultural and mechanical College be entitled
'to select and to send to the College each year one or more pronerly prepar—
i'ed-students as hereinafter provided for, free from all charges for tuition,
:matriculation} fuel, room rent and dormitory fees except board. All bene—
-ficiaries of the State who continue students for one consecutive collegiate
year, or ten months, shall also be entitled to their travelling expenses

'in going to and returning from said College. The selection of beneficiaries

was to be made by the county superintendents on competitive examination on
‘subjects prepared by the Faculty. This law worked admirably. Liscontent

vanished.

The immunities conceded to county appointees not as a gratuity but as a

tight, especially travelling-expenSes, placed every county in Kentucky

on a footing of absolute equality, placed the College virtually in every

In 1878 the last year of the alliance of the ngricultural and
Mechanical College with the old Kentucky University, the total enrollment
was 78, in 1908 1,064. In 1880 the senior class numbered 4, in 1910, the
last year of my administration, 85. In 1880 the College owned not an acre
of ground, in 1910 it owned 250 acres for the last 40 acres of which it
paid $27,000. In 1880 the income was $9,900. In 1910 I turned over to my
successor an annual income of $140, 000, and grounds, buildings and equip-
ments that had grown from absolutely nothing to an estimated value of 8
000.

In 1880 only two courses of study leading to a degree existed,with
a normal school and an academy which prepared students to enter College.

In 1910 there existed the College of Science and arts, the College of lgri-
culture, the Colleges of Civil Engineering, Lechanical Engineering, Lining .
Engineering, and the College of Law. The Normal Department by a oolitical
bargain was, in 1908, at the instance of Richmond and Bowling Greer elmhi—
nated, though subsequently restored under another name. The academy ceased

to exist in 1911.

thorns nor figs from thistles. I would not bring into invidious comparmson

the alumni of the Univers sity of Kentucky with those of any other state univ—
ersity, but I may without boasting be permitted to say that of the 885 alumni
graduated between 1869- the first year of my Presidency and 1910 the last
year — not more than one—half of one percent have been failures/ What other
university in America old or new has a better record? Her alumni have been

~15.-
ministrative offices, state and federal,in science, pure and aoplied, they
have won their spurs and hold the honors which they have won. "In their
veins the sap swells high today and will swell higher still tomorrow,"

In 1910 wearied with an almost continuous service of 41 years, I
offered my resignation. The Board of Trustees urged me to WithOld it and
Governor Nilson refused for months to accept it. I thought however that'
I had earned my retirement and pressed its acceptance. At the time of my
retirement I was the oldest in continuous service of any College President
in Imerica. The Board of Trustees granted me, in recognition of service

rendered, and in anticipation of services yet to be rendered, honorable

and generous conditions of retirement coupled with expressions of regard

for which I was deeply grateful.

In 1895 a domestic calamity left me childless. My affection was
then centered upon the University which has sinCe been to me as a son. My
greatest pleasure has been in its deveIOpment and in its prosperity. The
Sovereign dies but the Kingdom goes on. We pass away but the University
survives. In it there is continuity and development. There may be periods
of adversity in this as in all human institutions, alternating with periods
of prosnerity. But of this be assured, the University has come to stay.
Esto perpetual

Ideals of patriotism differ. The Briton and the American love
their country with no less devotion than do the Teuton and the Slav. But
, the Anglo-Saxon conception of the State differs by the whole diameter of
I political existence from that of the Central EurOpean Powers. Tith the
former liberty is the prime and the original concept. When the nnglo—Saxon
citizen creates the State he invests it with authority in order to safe-
guard and perpetuate freedom, and the problem with him is how best to coor-
dinate liberty with authority. "ith the Teuton and the Slav the State owes
its existence not to the citizen but to authority based upon Divine Right

inherent in the Sovereign. Vhatever freedom exists is conceded by authority

-14-
and may be revoked by the Sovereign who grants it. The State is every—
thing, the individual existjfor and is submerged in the State.

Now University life may be expected to reflect and does reflect
the conditions, ethnic and political, civil and religious, intellectual
and moral, under which they come into being and in which they are nurtured.
in atmosphere of freedom prevades the one, and of authority the other.

The one thinks unfettered, the other in bonds.

University organization in America and in Great Britian is free,
controlled only by collective individualism, that is by public Opinion.
If there be a tendency to degenerate into license, conservatism interposes
a check and insists upon a wholesome moderation which shall submit rival
conclusions and rival systems of thought to the adjudication of reason
and adopt the resultant as the arbiter of speculative activity and its
application to practical life. If in Central and Eastern Europe the Univer-
sity ventures to exceed the limits conceded by authority, authority inter—
poses a timely warning, and if this be not heeded closes its doors.

Following this line of thought it may be observed that the con-
ception of university organization and ends which obtains in the Mother

Country and her dependencies differ widely from those which obtain in the

48 states of the American Union. Each State has its own conception of

what a University should be and of the work which it should do. The old
’ privately endowed Universities, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and
we may add Johns HOpkins, differ from the State Universities, Cornell,
Wisconsin, Ohio State, Illinois, California, and arrange their courses of
study accordingly. Johns HOpkinS could not be transplanted to Arkansas,
the University of Kansas to Connecticut. An individualism, born of local
conditions attaches itself to each.

The University of Kentucky has like its congenors distinctive

characteristics of its own. It is distinctly American and it is distinctly

-15-

Kentuckian. Like its it roflceie the conditions under which it
came into being and like them it will modify these conditions for good or
evil in the days to come. A heavy responsibility therefore rests upon
its governing BOard and upon its administration. Will integrity of purpose,
sincerity in profession, capability in action, thoroughness in instruction,
a delicate sense of honor be the end and aim of its activity? Will the
formation of character take precedence of the production of wealth and

the moulding and fashioning of manly men and womanly women be held as the

best product of University life? No better material existjin America.

i homogeneous population of reputable lineage representing the best blood
of the Old Yorld and the new, a generous soil, mountains teeming with min—
eral wealth, self reliance, a resolute and vigorous independence which
exacts from all and gives to all its dues. Kind and generous to a fault,
a narrow selfishness they despise, duplicity and treachery they abhor,
and the violation of a trust they regard with ineffable scorn, and loving
liberty for its own sake they love nothing without liberty.

If the function of university life be to awaken and- to direct
mental activity, to create a desire for learning and to impart it, to
arouse as Huxley says a fanaticism for Truth, to cultivate and quicken and
expand the human soul, to stimulate a passionate desire for the realization
of the True, the Beautiful and the Good: if the highest end of education
he to cultiVate the mind for its own Sake, believing that "on earth there
is nothing great but Man, in man there is nothing great but mind," to
perfect through thinking the instrument of thought, then President Hopkins
and his appreciative pupil working together in a log cabin represent the
essence and contain the germ of university life. Brick and motar and
spacious grounds and well equipped laboratories do not make a university
but learned, eager, sympathetic teachers and earnest, capable, studious

Can we in these days realize now and here the fundamental conception which
made Mark nookins and his pupils famous and gave to Tilliams Colle e a
renown which has made it famous? Can we and will we lay the foundation here
of a distinct type of culture physical and mental and moral, proniunced in
its individualism and cosmopolitan in its scope? Peculiar conditions
of race, of tradition, of soil, of climate, of mountain and valley, of
river and hill and plain, supply the basis, provide the germ out of which
such a type may and can be evolved. The University of Kentucky if worthy
of the name,will for all time mould the highest thought and shape the
destiny of the Commonwealth. Progressive but not radical, conservative
but not reactionary, may it be the guiding star of the State, the sheet
anchor of hope, the fountain, the fons et origo of integrity, of faith,
of trust, of honor, and of purity, with no blot on its escutcheon and

with no stain of dishonor upon its shield.

Time has been when Kentucky's sons made her name famous in

science, in art, in statesmanship, in invention, in scholarship, in
literature and in arms. Let that era revive and continue, Let it be said

in the ages to come as the Psalmist said of the Israelite of the Golden Age,
"This man and that man wérgjihere." ind when the pilgrim of the future shall

return to visit his MeCCa let him feel that its innermost shrine is the

University of Kentucky.
