GENERAL.ANNOUNCEMENT.

By virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, approved, February 22, 1865, establishing
the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, as one of the Col-

leges of Kentucky University; and by virtue of an act, passed February

2-8, 1865, consolidating Transylvania University and Kentucky University
into one corporation under the name of the KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY, these
Acts having been approved by their respective Boards of Curators, the
University has been removed thereby, from Harrodsburg, and located at
, , Lexington, Kentucky, and will commence its seventh session at this place
on the ﬁrst Monday in October, 1865. A more complete organization of
55. the University has been effected, and, for the present, the College of
Science, Literature, and the Arts, the College of the Bible, and the Col:
lege of Law, will be opened with their respective Faculties, It is designed
to make the course of study and instruction as thorough as that of the
best Colleges and Universities in America. The statutes and regulations
have been framed on the most liberal principles, with the View of afford-
ing to all classes of persons, the highest facilities for the attainment of a

general, as well as professional, education. The plan of elective studies

and graduation by Schools, is adopted, looking rather to thoroughness in
the prescribed course of study than to graduation in the usual four years
time. A young man may study what he pleases, remain as long as he
may choose, receive his certiﬁcate in any one or more of the schools, but
,.) he cannot receive its academic degrees, without having completed in a
V satisfactory manner at least six of the schools, in the college of science,

literature and the arts.

if he comes from any other Literary Institution, he must bring letters of
honorable dismission.

Immediately after examination, the candidate shall procure from the
Treasurer of the University a Session Bill, which, when presented to the
Faculty, will entitle him to matriculate as a student for the entire ses-
sion; provided, that he shall have first made the required deposits with
the Bursar of the University, and also that he shall have procured suit-
able boarding.

He shall then be required to subscribe to the following Matriculation
Pledge:

“ Ipromise, on condition ofbeiny admitted as a student of Kentucky
University, on my FAITH and HONOR, that I will obey all the
laws, rules and regulations of this Institution.”

The Secretary of the Faculty will then enter upon the Register the
name and age of the student, and the address of his parent or guardian;
together with such studies as may have been selected from the different

ture from the prescribed order of four daily recitations, must in all cases
be made with the knowledge and consent of the Faculty.

It is desirable that all students be present at the beginning ofthe ses-
sion. And the policy of this Institution requires, that after their arrival,
(if this should not be before the opening of the session,) new applicants
for admission shallimmediately present to the President their certiﬁcates
of good standing; and that all students, whether formerly connected with
the University or not, shall lose no time in procuring their Session Bills,
and entering upon their Course of Study. Any neglect of this regulation,
or loitering about hotels, will be regarded as pm'mafacie evidence of
the want of those moral and industrial habits that constitute one of the
primary conditions of admission.

schools of The Jlfodcrn Languages, and The Arts.

BENEFICIARY INSTRUCTION.

It is the aim of this University eventually to give free instruction to
every young man who may enter its halls. In the mean time, until its

and good moral character, may be received free of Tuition; especially
those who desire to qualify themselves for the profession of teaching, or
for the duties of the Christian ministry.

BOARDING IIOUSES.

Students are permitted to select their own boarding houses, subject
in all cases to the apprOVal and supervision of the Faculty. But no
student is allowed to change his place ofboarding for trivial reasons, nor
until he has obtained permission from the Faculty; nor is he allowed to
board at any house where intoxicating liquors are sold, or card playing or
billiard playing is practiced, or Where the rules of'decorum and good order
are in other respects disregarded.

Good boarding can be had in respectable families at the usual
rates per week, including fuel, washing, lights, etc. In order to diminish,
as far as practicable, the cost of education in Kentucky University, the
Board of Curators have ﬁtted up comfortable rooms for about one hundred
students near the University building, and tender them free of charge to
such as make application for them in time.

Those who occupy these dormitories can procure good boarding near
by, at the University Boarding House, kept by MRS. LUCY J. ARNOI.I)_

expected, however, that such occupants will furnish their own rooms, and
be responsible for any damage done to the same through their own care-
lessness.

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

There are daily devotional exercises, with the reading of the Scrip-
tures, and singing in the College Chapel. All students are required to be

THE AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The Congress of the United States, by an act of January 2,1862, donated
public lands to the several States and Territories which may provide colleges
for the beneﬁt of agriculture and the mechanic arts, in which should be taught
such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanical arts;

including military tactics, without excluding other scientiﬁc and classical
studies, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial
classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. The various States were
required to accept the provisions of the above act within a certain speciﬁed

KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY. 17

time. Kentucky accepted the act on the 27th of January, 1863, (Sess. acts,
335), and, there being no public lands within her borders, scrip for 330,000
acres of land was issued to her, from the proceeds of which she was to endow
and establish at least one college within a prescribed time. Each State was
required to provide at least one college within ﬁve years from the date of the
act of Congress, else she would forfeit her right to the land or land— scrip which
had been donated to her.

The act of Congress contained an express prohibition upon the use of any
part of the proceeds of the sale of the land—scrip for the purchasing of build-
ings, apparatus, &c., and also prohibited the use of more than one—tenth of
those proceeds for the purchase of a model farm, upon which to erect the col-
lege buildings. In order, therefore, to provide a college as required by the act
of Congress, it was necessary that the State should erect the necessary build-
ings by appropriations directly out of the public treasury; and she would
have been required to meet, in the same way, all expenses requisite in the
purchase of a model farm beyond the limited amount of the proceeds of the
land-scrip authorized to be applied in that way.

The Legislature of Kentucky, after having advertised for two years, for
proposals to furnish the necessary grounds and buildings for the location of
this college, as required by the act of Congress, and failing to receive such pro-
positions as would meet the conditions of the act, and being unable from the
depleted condition of the State treasury, to furnish them, itself, passed a
bill at its last session, establishing this College as one of the Colleges of Ken—
tucky University. The conditions of this bill have been accepted by the Our-
ators of the University, and it is now a law.

In accordance with the provisions of ithat bill, more than $100,000
have been secured by J. B. Bowman, the general agent, for the purchase of
additional grounds and erection of buildings for this, and the other Colleges
of the University, and so soon as the Commissioners appointed by the State
shall effect the sale of the 330,000 acres of land-scrip, and the accruing funds
shall be placed at the disposal of the Curators of the University, steps will be
taken towards the organization of the Agricultural and Mechanical College.

In the meantime, they hereby freely tender to the State, the privilege
of sending to the College of Science, Literature and Arts, free of tuition, one
properly prepared student from each representative District, as contemplated
by the act of the Legislature.

OTHER COLLEGES.

In accordance with the plan of organization proposed by the General
Agent of the University, and adopted by the Board, it was contemplated, to
open at as early a day as practicable, the Medical, Normal, and Commercial
Colleges, and to place the Institution upon as broad a basis for usefulness,
as any in the whole country.
