` - ‘ 2 THE s'1‘A'1‘1i L‘N1VlLRsITY.
_i_ The city of Lexington offered to the Commission (which was al- _
Y so authorized to recommend to the General Assembly the place ;
which, all things considered, offered the best and greatest induce- h
. ~ments for the future and permanent location of the College) the City _]
;Pa~rk, containing fifty—two acres of land within the limits of the city,
__ \ and thi1·ty thousand dollars of city bonds for the erection of build- 0
A y L ;ings. This offer the county of Fayette supplemented by twenty
,; jtlrousand dollars in countybonds, to be used either for the erection
ii" ·~< > if buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of Lexington
·- r; .; mid the county of Fayette were accepted by the General Assen1bly.` iv

` ;tuting the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of
I l ` Kentucky, liberal provision is made for educating, f1·ee of tuition,
l V the energetic young men and women of the Commonwealth whose E
means are limited. The present General Assembly of Kentucky I
A _. passed an act, which was approved March 16, 1908, changing the
i· style and title of the institution from "Agricultural and Mechanical 1
v College" to that of "State University," the oiticial designation by
which it will hereafter be known. The University, with the addi-
·‘ tional depart1nents··.vhieh_shall,. fliOl1)_ti1!)€_tf) time, be opened as the E

quirements of its oijganic law, its atZf2>r¢l equal advantages to all, ex-

in supplementing the inadequate annual income arising from the pro-
[ ceeds of the land—scrip invested in State bonds, has enabled the Trus-
` ii tees to begin and carry on, upon a scale commensurate with the
{ wants of our people, the operations of the institution whose manage-
3 ment and oversight have been committed to them by the General
Q Assembly of Kentucky.

tions to which The State University belongs, it is declared "tliat
their leading object shall lie, without excluding other scientific and
w classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branch-
_Q cs of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts,
in ordcr to promote the liberal and practical education of the indus-
i _ trial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." To the
_ three departments ol' agriculture, the mechanic arts, and military

it science, contemplated in the act as indispensable, an Experiment

ity has been made 101‘·11`l'Sl71'l1C‘lilOI1 in all branches ot science and 111 tl1e
jy classics,. so that this institution IS far more than a11 agricultural and
mi mechanical college, embracring, as 1t does, 11ot merely the three
nty original departments, but eighteen others.
OH Dcpartxnent 0f Education.
OD ln 1893 the college authorities, in response to a (161112.11d for ad-
_y_— ·vanced instruction for teachers, organized a full collegiate course
M_ leading to tl1e degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy. In 1906 two full
Of collegiate courses, each with Education as a major, were substituted
,,1, for the course established in 1893. One leads to the degree of Bach-
SG elor of Arts in Education and the other to Bachelor of Science in
ky Education. Students are admitted to tl1e Freshman Class of eitherof
he these courses upon tl1e co1npletio11 of the course in Arts and Scie11ce

by The Kentucky Experhucnt Station.
H_ The Agricultural Experiment Station of the State University was
he established by the Executive Committee of tl1e Board of Trustees in
d, September 1885, when tl1e Departnient was organized a11d a Director _
a_ appointed. In 1886 the Station was recognized and named by the
in General Assembly of Kentucky. In 1887 it became tl1e bcnelieiary
ds of the lirst annual 2l])])l'O])1`liltlOll of $15,000, under the Hatch Act
,G_ providing for tl1e establishment of Agricultural Experiment Stations
X_ tor tl1e States a11d Territories. 1111900 "for the lI101'€ complete e11—

_€_ n111m of $15,000 shall continue without change.
M The work of tl1e Station is directed to two objects: 1. To acou-
stant succession of experiments made by specialists, inordcr to learn
what applications of science will insure the best returns from tl1e
U- farm, the garden, tl1e orchard, tl1e vineyard, the stockyard illld the
at dairy. 2. To tl1e publication of bulletins announcing such results

YZ pursuits, but, directly or indirectly, through the continual diftusion_ sy
ol? knowledge for the benefit of so large a proportion of our popula- oi
' * tion, it is bound to be extremely useful to the Commonwealth. cl
Location. Ul
° ’i The State University located in the former City Park, in the
southern part of the city of Lexington and nea1· the Cincinnati
»,.— Southern Railway. The site is elevated and eonnnands a good view fe
_ _ of much of the city and of the surrounding country. B
ii. Lexington, now a growing city of forty thousand inhabitants, is al
I .--‘ in the heart of the far-famed Bluegrass region, a region distin- in
guished for fertility and healthfulness, wealth and beauty. Numer- Tl
ous schools and churches, an intelligent and refined population, well
,- .; paved streets, handsome buildings, extensive water—works, and an th
`ii , unsurpassed system of street electric railways make Lexington lil
¤ Q attractive as a seat of learning and place of residence, while the 0<
.. splendid stock farms scattered over the large body of fertile country Sl?
1 around it afford advantages hardly equaled elsewhere for the student
V who desires to become familiar with thebest breeds of horses, cattle, 20
. sheep, and swine in America. Moreover, with railroads diverging in fil
i Z seven directions, Lexington is the railroad center in Kentucky, and
QQ in direct connection with Louisville, Cincinnati, Maysville, Hunting- dt
` M ton, and Chattanooga, and with more than seventy counties of the in
{ Commonwealth. And when to the electric railways now i11 operation Tl
- to Georgetown, Paris, Versailles, and Frankfort, those projected to **1
ZZ \Vinchester, Richmond, and Nicholasvillc shall be added, the hourly In
p trains of these roads will enable students residing near them to at- is
tend the University conveniently from their ho111es.
_ Grounds. SU
The campus of the University consists of fiFty—two acres ofland, lil?
{ located within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Lime- Bl
.; stone electric car line extends along the western border of the cam-
- pus, affording opportunity to reach i11 a few minutes any part of tl1e F0
‘ __ city. The campus islaid outin walks, drivesand lawns, and isplant-·
. ed with a choice variety of native and exotic trees and shrubs, to ll
enocxns. 5
@118 which additions are constantly being made. Two and a half acres,
forming the 1101‘bl1·9£LSi] portion of the campus, inclosed and provided
iliiig with a grand—stand, are devoted to the field sports of the students.
ntal About three·quarters of a mile south of tl1e campus, on the Nich-
11 7 olasville pike, is the Expe1·iment Station Farm, consisting of two
the hund1·ed a11d forty-three ac1·es. He1·e the field expe1·iments of the
t to Station are conducted, and students have opportunities to witness
zrial tests of varieties of field crops, dairy tests, fertilizer tests, frnit·
sion_ spraying tests; in short, all the scientific experimentation of a thor-
ula- oughly organized Station. The front of the farm is pasture and or-
chard. The rear portio11 is divided off into two hundred one-tenth acre
plots, for co11venie11ce in making crop tests.

Section 4 of the act approved March 21, 1900, appropriating money c
. for the purchase of the grounds and the erection thereon of this 1*
. building, provides: v
_ "The Board of Trustees shall appoint three prudent, discreet, in- (3
I‘ telligent women; members in good standing of one of the 1·eligi0us _
it organizations recognized by the laws of the United States, who shall `
constitute a board of supervision or control to manage and superin— (
‘- tend, under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the do1·n1itory `
`,‘' for young wo1nen."
The Hall is under the immediate direction and management of an (
_' A experienced and competent Matron, appointed by the Board of
Supervision. It contains sixty-eight commodious and well furnished (
_ ` _. rooms, affording accommodation fo1· one hundred and twenty—four ‘
persons, for whom excellent board and lodging are furnished at
Q? three dollars ($3) per week, the occupants furnishing their own l
‘ napkins, towels, and bedding, except mattresses and pillows, and _
jE- paying for their own laundry. 1
I { U Built durably of stone, brick, wood and iron, and practically fire-
_ _" proof; with adequate provision for safety, heat, light, ventilation,
i bathing and exercise, this Hall offers all the comforts and conveni·
1 U ences of a well—appointed home.
County appointees are first supplied with rooms, and these, by
. act of the Legislature, are assigned by lot.
The ground, building and equipment cost $00,000, and the Hall
LY has been occupied since January 1004. Probably no educational
_' institution in the South affords a more attractive home for young
i· women. Those who are favored with a county appointment, the
ij inode for obtaining which is set forth elsewhere in this catalogue,
5 will find that residence at the State University is brought within the
. means of any young woman who earnestly desires to fit herself for a
life of usefulness.
