 A THE STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
HISTORY.
AGRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United States owe
their origin to an act of Congress entitled "An Act Donating Public
Lands to the several States and Territories which may provide Colleges for
the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts," approved july 2, 1862.
The amount of land donated was 30,000 acres for each representative in the
National Congress. Under this allotment Kentucky received 330,000 acres.
Several years elapsed before the Commonwealth established an Agricultural
and Mechanical College under the act. `When established it was not placed
i upon an independent basis, but was made one of the Colleges of Kentucky
I University, to which institution the annual interest of the proceeds of the
i Congressional land grant was to be given for the purpose of carrying on its
L operations. The land-scrip had meanwhile been sold for fifty cents per acre.
L l and the amount received—$l65,000—invested in six per cent Kentucky State
% bonds, of which the State became custodian in trust for the College.
J The connection with Kentucky University continued till 1878, when
5 the act of 1865, making it one of the Colleges of said University was repeal-
5 ed, and a Commission was appointed to recommend to the Legislature of
7 1879-80 a pla11 of organization for an institution, including an Agricultural
7 and Mechanical College, such as the necessities of the Commonwealth re-
7 quired. The city of Lexington offered to the Commission (which was also
9 authorized to recommend to the General Assembly the place which, all
9 things considered, offered the best and greatest inducements for the future
:0 and permanent location of the College), the City Park, containing nfty-two
:0 acres of land within the limits of this city, and thirty thousand dollars of
H city bonds for the erection of buildings. This offer the county of Fayette
B2 supplemented by twenty thousand dollars in county bonds, to be used either
Z3 for the erection of buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of the
city of Lexington and the county of Fayette were accepted by the General
Assembly.
By the act of incorporation and the amendments thereto, constituting
the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, liberal
provision is made for educating, free of tuition, the energetic young me11 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
· School system by furnishing properly qualified teachers. This College, with
the additional departments which will, 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

 2 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
Kentucky. Being entirely undenominational in its character, it will appeal
with confidence to the people of all creeds and of no creed, and will endeavor,
in strict conformity with the requirements of its organic law, to afford equal
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, will, it is believed, ena-
ble the Trustees 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.
SCOPE OF STUDIES.
In the act of Congress making provision for the class of colleges to
which the State College partly belongs, it is declared "that their leading
object shall be, without excluding other scientific 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
arts, and military science, contemplated in the act as indispensable, a Nor-
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 a11d mechanical college, embracing, as it does, not
merely the three original departments, but fifteen 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 first act briefly defines the object for which the Department was
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
highest work in their chosen profession, the Department of Pedagogy was Q
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.
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 in

 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 3
September, 1885, when the Department was organized and a Director ap-
pointed. In 1886 the Station was recognized and named by the General
~ Assembly, and in 1887 it became the beneficiary of the first annual appropri-
. ation of $15,000 under the Hatch act providing for the establishment of
Agricultural Experiment Stations in the several States and Territories.
The work of the Station is directed to two objects: 1. To a constant
I succession of experiments made by specialists, in order to learn what appli-
cations of science will insure the best returns from the farm, the garden, the
orchard, the vineyard, the stockyard, and the dairy. 2. To the publication
of bulletins announcing such results of the experiments as are found to be
valuable to those of the people of Kentucky who seek profit from any of
those prime sources of wealth—the soil, the flock, and the herd.
Results of experiments have been published in twelve annual reports
and one hundred and six bulletins, and general appreciation of their utility
is shown in the fact that, while no bulletin is sent except upon application
for it, the mailing list of the Station contains more than 8,500 names, and
is ever increasing.
With an ample endowment. a large and comniodious building planned
for the purpose, adequate apparatus, a good experimental farm conveniently
situated, and a staff of fifteen scientists engaged in seven divisions of re-
search and in correspondence with other stations, the Kentucky Experiment
Station is not only an important adjunct of the College in the education of
students for the leading industrial pursuits, but, directly or indirectly,
through the wide and continual diffusion of knowledge for the benefit of so
large a proportion of our population, it is bound to be extremely useful to
the Commonwealth at large.
LOCATION.
The State College of Kentucky is established in the old City Park,
just within the southern boundary of Lexington and near the Cincinnati
Southern Railway. The site is elevated and commands a good view of
much of the city and of the surrounding country.
~ Lexington, now a growing city of thirty-odd thousand inhabitants, is in
the heart of the far-famed Bluegrass region, a region distinguished for fertil-
ity and healthfulness, wealth and beauty. Numerous schools and churches, `
_ an intelligent and refined population, well paved streets, handsome build-
l ings, extensive water—works, and an unsurpassed system of street electric
railways make Lexington attractive as a seat of learning and place of resi-
dence, while the splendid stock farms scattered over the large body of fertile
country around it afford advantages hardly equaled elsewhere for the student
who desires to become familiar with the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep,
and swine in America. Moreover, with railroads diverging in seven direc-
tions, Lexington is the railroad center of Kentucky, and in direct connection
with Louisville, Cincinnati, Maysville, and Chattanooga, and with more

 4 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
than seventy counties of the Commonwealth. And when the six projected
interurban railways are completed, their numerous daily trains will enable
students to attend the College from their homes as far as twenty miles away. .
GROU N DS.
‘ The campus of the College consists of fifty-two acres of land, located
within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone Street f
» `· ‘- electric car line extends along the greater part of its western border, giving
‘ ` opportunity 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
l native and exotic trees and shrubs, to which additions are constantly being
· c made. 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 give increased facilities to
students taking agricultural and biological courses. Two and a half acres,
p forming the northeast portion of the campus, inclosed and provided with a
grand stand, is devoted to the field sports of students.
. About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas-
ville pike, an extension of South Limestone street, is the Experiment Sta-
- ·. tion Farm, consisting of two hundred and three acres, to which sixty-four
, and a half acres have been added by recent purchase. Here the field exper-
A' iments of the Station are conducted, and students have opportunities to
. witness tests of varieties of field crops, dairy tests, fertilizer tests, fruit-
V spraying tests; in short all the scientific experimentation of a thoroughly
· equipped and organized Station. The front of the farm is pasture and
orchard. The back portion is divided off into two hundred one-tenth acre
plots, for convenience in making crop tests.
BUILDINGS.
The Iliaivz B1¢1'!ding.—This is a structure of stone and brick, 140 feet

6 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.
· DEVELOPEMENT.
V The growth of the College from year to year is shown as follows:
` 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 of its Senators and
Representatives in Congress, 30,000 acres of the public land.
1865. The General Assembly of Kentucky having accepted the State‘s portion under P
the conditions prescribed, established the Agricultural and Mechanical 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
authorized the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to sell the 330,000 acres apportioned to
Kentucky, by the mismanagement of the Commissioners’ agent the State realized for its
land only $165,000
1866. The College opened with a President, four Professors, and a Commandant.
1878. Dissatisfied with the management ofthe College by the Curators, who were en-
gaged in a long factional strife, the General Assembly severed the connection with the Uni-
versity, and appointed a commission to re-locate the College, to provide for its continuance
in operation till re-located, and to prepare "a plan for a tirst—class University." Kentucky
University claiming and retaining the former site of the College, the sole property left the
latter after the severance was an income of 39,900 derived from the land grant.
1880. The City of Lexington offering the City Park of tifty-two acres as anew site for
the College, and also $30,000 in bonds, and the County of Fayette offering $20,000 besides,
the General Assembly ratified the selection of a site made by a majority ofthe commission,
and located the College permanently in Lexington.
1880. To provide 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 tl1e College and to enable itto purchase apparatus, machinery,
implements, and zi library; to maintain the Normal Department, and to defray other neces-
sary expenses, the General Assembly imposed a tax of one-halfcent on each hundred dollars
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 Presidents house completed.
1885. The Con1n1andant’s House reconstructed.
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 515,000 per
annum.
1887. The Department of Civil Engineering established, an experimental farm of "`
forty—eight acres purchased, and the college greenhouse built.
IBSQ. The Experin1entStation Building completed.
1890. The Second Dormitory completed.
_ 1890. For "the more complete endowment" of Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, rg
an act of Congress appropriated to each State 515,000 for the year ending june 30,1890, and
the same sum with an increase of .%],000 per annum for ten years, after which the maximum
of $25,000 should continue without change. Of the amount thus annually appropriated, the
College receives 85 per cent and the school of the colored people at Frankfort I5 per cent.
1891. The Department of Mechanical Engineering established.
1892. The Mechanical Building and Workshops completed.
189.;. Greenhouses for the Experiment Station built.
1895. The Annex to the Mechanical Building and the Insectarium for the Station built,
1897. 'l`he Department of Electrical Engineering established. Additions made to tl1e
Greenhouses and lnsectarium.
1898. The building for Natural Science completed.

 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 7
1898. Sixty—four and a half acres added to the Experimental Farm, making 113 in all·
1900. Sixty thousand dollars appropriated by the General Assembly for a Collegiate
Home for Young Women, for a Gymnasium and Drill Room, and a Hall for the Y. M. C. A.
1901. Ninety acres added to the Experimental Farm, making 203 in all. The build-
ing erected containing the Gymnasium, the Drill Room, and Halls for the Societies and
the Y. M. C. A.
V 1901. The Department of Mining Engineering added.
1902. Thirty thousand dollars additional appropriated by the General Assembly for
the Young Women‘s College Home, making $60,000 in all.
1903. The Young Women`s College Home and the New Experiment Station built.
Increase uf Pr0perty—The property of the College is estimated to be worth 5600,000
more than it was in 1880.
Increase af Teachers-—Before 1880 the College had six Professors; it now has seventeen
Professors and twenty—seven Assistants.
Increase of Cmzrses—Bef0re 1880 the College offered a single course of study leading
to a degree; it now offers nine.
Increase of Siudeats-—The number enrolled during the session of 1898-99 was about
480, considerably the largest till then in the history of the College; for 1899-1900 the number
was 563; for 1900-1901 it was 614; for 1901-1902 it was 594.
Increase ty’ Gfd{l'1¢d{E5*N0 fact more distinctly marks the growth of the College than
the increase in the number of its graduates. More students were graduated in 1901 than were
graduated in the first twenty·0ne years, and more during the last five than during the first
thirty. '
