To His Excellency, JAs. B. MCCREARY, __
Governor of Kentucky:

In pursuance of an act of the last General Assembly of
Kentucky, severing the connection between Kentucky Uni-
versity and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of
Kentucky, the Board of Visitors met at Lexington on the
12th day of July last, and proceeded to «organize this Col-
lege as a separate Institution, by the appointment of a
Faculty of competent professors and other subordinate
officers, whose names appear in the Report of the Presi-
dent to your Excellency. The Board subsequently selected
one hundred acres of land, to which the College was entitled
for two years, by virtue of the agreement between the
authorities of Kentucky University and the Commissioners
on the part of the State.

The session of the College began on the 9th of Septem»
her last, and has had a successful and uninterrupted con-
tinuance since that period. It will hold its First Annual
Commencement, as a separate Institution, in the city of
Lexington, on the 11th of June, 1879.

It is not deemed necessary to recapitulate the condition,
operation, and prospects of the Institution, so fully set forth
in the Reports of President Patterson to Your Excellency
and this Board. But we cannot forbear from adding our
testimony to the faithful manner in which the professors
and other officials have discharged their several duties, and
we cheerfully bear witness to the exemplary conduct and
gratifying progress made by the students. In an especial
manner we are pleased to recognize the obligation we owe
to President Patterson, who was charged by an order of
the Board with many executive duties relating to the Col-

lege, embracing the general oversight of every department
and all the interests of the Institution—subject to the power
of the Board and its Executive Committee—for the zeal, l
promptness, and fidelity with which he has performed his 51
varied duties. .

We cannot allow the occasion to pass without expressing
to your Excellency our thanks for the interest you have
uniformly taken in all efforts to promote the cause of gen-
eral education, but especially to establish, upon an enduring '
basis, a College for the whole people free from denomina-
tional or sectarian control.

In conclusion, we beg leave to commit the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Kentucky to the fostering care
of the Commonwealth.

By order of the Board.

@eport of the @resident of the gallege to the @oard of

T 0 lee Honorahle Board of Visitors of the Agricultural and

Mechanical College of Kem‘ueky .'

GENTLEMEN: The collegiate year 1878—’9 of the Agricul—
tural and Mechanical College of Kentucky has been alto-
gether a prosperous one.

One hundred and eighteen students have been matricu~
lated, of whom ninety-two are from Kentucky, and twenty-
six from other States. The number of matriculates exceeds
that of the preceding year by 50 per cent. A much larger
number would have entered but for our inability to supply
labor, except to a very limited extent, during the first months
of the collegiate year, to those whose means were inadequate
to their maintenance, unless supplemented by the proceeds
of their labor. This inability arose from the fact that all the
existing crop on the estate belonged to Kentucky Univer-
sity. We had, therefore, no autumn work of consequence
to furnish to students, except in the way of preparation for
a small Wheat crop, and general arrangements for the ensu-
ing spring. Notwithstanding this drawback, we have been
enabled to furnish a fair supply of labor to indigent stu~
dents, at rates of compensation so liberal as to aid them
materially in their maintenance. Many students, sent hither
by counties as State beneficiaries, were unable to pay matric-
ulation fee and room rent. To such we gave the privilege
of working out their fees. A like indulgence Was, in a few
cases, given to students from abroad. Indeed, in no case
has admission been refused to any applicant because of ina—
bility to pay the tuition or matriculation fees. We have
endeavored so to economize expenditure as to conduct the
operations of the farm and garden with the least possible
expense. While, however, having a strict regard to econ-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

6 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL

 

 

omy, we have felt it our duty to furnish the greatest possible
amount of labor to State beneficiaries, and others whose
attendance upon the Institution was conditioned by the
necessity of earning as much as possible. To this end we
have sought to put in such crops as would furnish the great-
est amount of labor, and yield the largest profits.

The distribution of crops I have sketched as follows:

Wheat ......... 12 acres} Cabbage . ...... 3 acres.
Corn .......... 35 “ l Sweet potatoes ..... I “
Irish potatoes ...... Io ‘ ‘ Miscellaneous ...... 2 ‘ ‘
Grass land for hay . . .- . 4 " ‘

The experience of this College is that of all Agricultural
Colleges throughout the country, that compensated laboris
profitable only to the student. The majority of those Who
work for compensation are unused to farm labor; many of
them never had a plough or a hoe in their hands. But, in-
asmuch as one of the special objects in this College has been
to assist indigent young men as far as possible, and at the
least possible loss to the Institution, I am warranted in say-
ing that this end has been attained.

I am glad to say that Professor Crandall has been enabled,
by the appropriation which you placed at his disposal, to
furnish instruction in theoretical and practical mechanics to
many students who availed themselves of his services in this
department. Even with the limited means placed at his
command, he has shown what could be dOne if this depart-
ment were provided with the appliances and facilities pro-
portioned to its importance.

It was found necessary, at the beginning of the session,
to provide elementary instruction for those who were not
prepared to enter the regular classes. This was done by

employing the most capable of the advanced students in the .

capacity of tutors, under the supervision of the professors to
whose departments the elementary instruction required be-
longed. Provision was thus made for the instruction of six
classes, at rates of compensation profitable to the tutors
and advantageous to the College. I take great. pleasure in

saying that the classes thus provided for were taught to the
entire satisfaction of the Faculty.

As regards attendance, behavior, and application to study,
the results have been most'gratifying. Indeed, during the
ten years with which I have been connected with the College
as its presiding officer, I have not known a session so satis-
factory in these respects.

Instruction has been furnished in the several classes
which .make up the departments of Civil History, Political
Economy, English Literature, Mathematics, Chemistry,
Agricultural Chemistry, Moral PhiIOSOphy, Modern Lan—
guages, Natural History, and Civil Engineering, and with
satisfactory results.

I beg to Express, in conclusion, my deep sense of the
intelligent direction and hearty co-operation of the Execu-
tive Board appointed by your honorable body, and my
thanks for the uniform courtesy, kindness, and forbearance
which I have experienced at their hands. To those upon
whom the weight of responsibility has chiefly fallen, as well
as to the other members composing the Board of Visitors,
the Commonwealth, I am sure, owes a debt of gratitude for
the measures so wisely devised and so ably executed. To
these measures the Agricultural and Mechanical College
owes the success which it has achieved during the past year,
and whose results you now present to the State and the
public at large.

I am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant, '
JAMES K. PATTERSON.

IO ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL

 

@anch'tz'on of the égrz’cultural and (Mechanism gallege of
gentucky—geport of the gresident to the (governor.

The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky
was, by the action of the’last General Assembly, detached
from its connection with Kentucky University, of which it
had been one of the Colleges, and placed upon an inde-
pendent basis. It is now governed by a Board of Visitors,
appointed by the Governor of the Commonwealth, and in
its administration and control is entirely separate and dis-
tinct from Kentucky University. It is provisionally estab-
lished on the Ashland and Woodland estates, in the vicinity
of Lexington. During its continuance upon its present
site, and until its ultimate location shall have been deter-
mined by the General Assembly, the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Kentucky has, by agreement with
Kentucky University, the sole and exclusive use of one
hundred acres of land of the Ashland and Woodland
estates, and for every matriculate over one hundred, one
additional acre. Its matriculates, in addition to the ad-
vantages afforded by its own departments of study,‘have
access, free of charge, to the Departments of Latin, and
Greek in the Kentucky University. The course of study
in the Agricultural and Mechanical College has been en-
larged by an advanced course of Agricultural Chemistry,
and by a special course of lectures, by the Professor of
Natural History, upon Economic Botany, the Relation of
Geology to Soils, of Forests to Agriculture, and of Insects
to Vegetation. Facilities are afforded for cheap board in
clubs upon the grounds. Last year good, substantial
board and comfortable lodging were thus provided, at an
expense not exceeding eighty or ninety dollars per annum.

Board in private families, including lodging, fuel, and
lights, can be obtained at from $3.00 to $4.50 per week.

Each legislative district in the Commonwealth is entitled
to send to this Institution three properly prepared students
free of tuition. All students, however, pay the required
matriculation fee, and also the room fee, if resident upon
the College grounds.

Each matriculate is also required to deposit.$2.oo with
the Treasurer to cover damages; This deposit will be re-
funded when the student leaves College, less the amount of
damage assessed to the depositor.

All students who occupy the dormitories on the College
grounds are required to furnish their own rooms.

Tuition fee for the entire year ................. $15 00
Matriculation fee. ...................... 5 00
Room fee .......................... 5 oo

Matriculates who enter after the beginning of the second
term—January 26, 1880—will be charged half the foregoing
rates.

The necessary expenditure by county appointees, who
board in clubs and room upon the grounds, may besummed
up as follows:

 

Matriculation fee ...................... $5 00
Room fee .......................... 5 00
Cost of furnishing room ................... IO 00
Board in club 40 weeks, at $1.50 per week ........... 60 00
Fuel ............................ 4 00
Lights ....... ‘ .................... I 00
VVashing—25 cents per week ................. I0 00
Books and stationery ..................... IO 00

Total .......................... $105 00

To those who are not provided with county appointments
the necessary expenditure estimated above will be increased
by the tuition fee, viz: $15.00, making the total for such
$120.00. --

The amount to be added to the above for clothing and
pocket money will, of course, vary with the habits of the
student. It is earnestly recommended, however, that pa-
rents and guardians enjoin economy in the former, and
reduce the latter within the narrowest possible limits.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

12 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL

 

County appointees are selected by the County Judge and
Board of Magistrates of the respective Representative dis-
tricts entitled to send beneficiaries. An appointment by a
County Judge is held to be valid until the next regular meet-
ing of the County Magistrates. County appointees, as well
as all other applicants for matriculation, must bring certifi-
cates of good moral character. Age for admission, fourteen
years.

In order to assist meritorious young men to defray ex-
penses, labor will be furnished to a limited miméer of sludem‘s,
at mz‘es of compensalion varying from six 10 ezg/u‘ cents per
flour. Other circumstances being equal, preference will be
given, in the labor department, to county appointees, and
in the order of their arrival and application for work. All
other matriculates are liable to be occasionally called upon
to work a few hours without compensation, in putting into
proper condition the grounds around their own quarters,
and on the pleasure grounds around the College.

The success of the Agricultural and Mechanical College
during the last year—the first year of its existence as an
independent Institution—has far exceeded the expectations
of its Board of Visitors and Faculty. During the year
1877—’8 it had but 56716710112ng matriculates. It closes the
present collegiate year with one kuna’red and eig/ziem—an
increase of over fifty per cem‘. For years past it was alleged
to have brought the Kentucky University, with which it
was connected, annually into debt. This year it has paid
all expenses, expended a considerable amount on student
labor, made ample provision for preparatory instruction by
tutors, and although it has realized, as yet, comparatively
nothing from this, its first year’s crop, has, at the close of
the present fiscal year, an unexpended balance in the Treas-
ury. These facts prove that an Agricultural and Mechanical
College can be conducted economically and successfully,
even upon the small income derived from the Congressional
scrip fund, which, up to this time, constitutes its sole endow-

ment. With increased confidence, a confidence based upon
last year’s unexpected success, the Board of Visitors, to
whom is committed, by the Legislature of the Common-
wealth, the management and control of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Kentucky, desire to commend it to
the public. In no College in the State is a more thorough
course of instruction given. In Natural History they be-
lieve it far surpasses any Institution in the State in breadth,
in comprehension, and in thoroughness. The fees are
merely nominal, while in Cheapness of living they know
of no College in the country which can be brought into
comparison with it. A

Now that it is detached from all ecclesiastical entangle-
ment and control, they hope to see it become the basis of
a State Institution such as the geographical position, the
agricultural and mineral resources, ”and the traditions of
the State require, and which shall accomplish in the no
distant future a great educational work for the Common—
wealth.
