The College.
History.
GRICULTURAL and Mechanical Colleges in the United States
A owe their origin to an act of Congress, entitled "An act donat- 4
f ing public lands to the several States and Territories which
may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic,
E 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
. befo1·e the Commonwealth established an Agricultural and Mechanical _
i College under the act. When established it was not placed upon an
* independent basis, but was made one of the Colleges of Kentucky Uni- _
versity, to which Institution the annual interest of the proceeds of
the Congressional land grant was to be given for the purpose of
‘ car1·ying on its operations. The land-scrip had meanwhile been sold
for fifty cents per acre, and the amount received—$165,000—invested »
in six per cent. Kentucky State bonds, of which the State became
custodian in trust for the College.
The connection with Kentucky Unive1·sity continued till 1878, when ‘
the act of 1805. making it one of the Colleges of said University, was -
repealed, and a Commission was appointed to recommend to the Leg-
islature of 1879-80 a plan of organization for an institution, including
an Agricultural and Mechanical College, such as the necessities of
the Commonwealth required. The city of Lexington offered to the y
Commission (which was also authorized to recommend to the General
V _ Assembly the place, which, all things considered, oliered the best
j and greatest inducements for the future and permanent location of
[ the College) the City Park, containing iilty-two acres of land, within
‘ the limits of the city, and thirty thousand dollars in city bonds for
=* the erection of buildings. This offer the county of Fayette supple-
mented by twenty thousand dollars in county bonds, to be used either
for the erection of buildings or for the purchase of land. The oiiers »·
of the city of Lexington and of the county of Fayette were accepted
by the General Assembly.
By the act of incorporation, and the amendments thereto, constitut-
ing the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Ken-
tucky, liberal provision is made for educating, free of tuition. the
energetic young men 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 prop-

erly qualined teachers. This College, with the associate 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 no distant
future do a great work in advancing the educational interests of Ken- ~
‘ tucky. Being entirely unlenominational in its character, it will
appeal with contidence 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 advan- <
tages to none. The liberality of the Commonwealth in supplement- g
ing the inadequate annual income arising from the proceeds of the ‘
land-scrip invested in State bonds, will, it is believed, enable the
Trustees to begin and carry on, upon a scale commensurate with the L
wants of our people, the operations of the institution whose manage- T
ment and oversight have been committed to them by the General ·_
I Assembly of Kentucky. .
, Location. ,
The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky is estab- _
lished in the old Citv Park grounds of the City of Lexington, given ·
to the Commonwealth for this purpose. The site is elevated, and
commands a good view of the city and surrounding country.
Lexington is now the most important railroad center in Kentucky,
being in immediate communication with Louisville, Cincinnati,
Maysville, Chattanooga, and with more than seventy counties in the
Commonwealth. The long established reputation of the city for
A refinement and culture renders it attractive as a seat of learning,
and thc large body of fertile country adjacent, known as the "Blue
Grass Region," with its splendid stock farms, atlords unsurpassed
advantages to thc student of agriculture who desires to make himself
familiar with the best breeds of horses, cattle, shcepandswine in
America. v
Grounds.
The campus of the College consists of 52 acres of land, located within
the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone street elec-
tric car line extends along the greater part of its western border,
giving opportunity to reach in a few minutes any pa1·t of the
city. The campus is laid out in walks, drives and lawns, and is
planted with a choice variety of native and exotic trees and shrubs to
, which additions are constantly being made. A portion of the land
A has recently been reserved fo1· a botanical garden in which will be
I grown the more desirable native plants, with a view to testing their
adaptability to cultivation, and to give inci·cased facilities to students

forming the north-east portion of the campus, enclosed and provided
with a grand stand, is devoted to the field spo1·ts of students.
L About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the Nicholas-
,— ville pike, an extension of South Limestone street, is the Experiment ·
¢· Station Farm, consisting of forty—eight and ahalf acres. Here the
field experiments of the Station are conducted, and students have
``_ opportunities to witness tests of varieties of field crops, dairy tests,
‘ fertilizer tests, fruit spraying tests, in short all of the scientific ex-
`· perimentation of a thoroughly equipped and organized Station. The
' front of the farm is pasture and orchard. The back portion is divided V ‘
“_ off into two hundred one-tenth acre plots, for convenience in making
g crop tests.
. Buildings.

Q College Expenses.
J The necessary expenses of a student while at College need not ex-
_ seed the following estimates. As a rule the less pocket money _ V
` allowed by parents or guardians, the better it is for the pupil. When
’ , supplies of pocket money are kept short, the opportunity for con-
5 tracting vicious habits is correspondingly diminished. Students
i should not be allowed by their parents to create any debts. All
j moneys intended for the use of the students should be deposited with
ci the Commandant. {
For county appointees occupying a room in the dormitory and
» boarding in the common mess, the necessary expenses are as follows: V
,_ Tuition free .............,........................ $000.00 `

l Boarding.
For the accomodation of students sent as beneficiaries of Legis-
lative Representative Districts of the State, rooms for one hundred ;
and forty students are provided in the dormitories. To these good i
substantial board is furnished at $2.25 per week, payable weekly in —
advance; but no student under seventeen years of age will be per- V
mitted to 1·o0m in the dormitories, unless all of his classes shall be in
the regular collegiate courses. Good boarding, with fuel, lights and —
furnished room, can be obtained in private families at rates varying s
° from $3.50 to $4 per week. ;
, The students who board in the dormitories are, for business pur-
poses, organized at the beginning of the collegiate year under a ·
l Chairman and Secretary of their own choice, whose successors are ’
elected on the first Tuesday of each term, and who serve for one term.
At the business meeting held on Tuesday night of each week, the
weekly dues, $2.25, are paid. The boarding department is managed
by a Board cinsisting of the President of the College, the Command-
ant, a Treasurer, who is a member of the Faculty, and into whose
hands all the weekly dues are placed when collected, aSteward,
.a Chairman and a Secretary selected by the students. It will thus
be seen that the boarding department has no official connection with
A the College authorities. The College, as such, does not board the
students, and is in no sense responsible for any debts created by the
boarding department. Two members of the Faculty, in their indi-
vidual capacity, assist in the management of its funds.
No dormitory facilities are provided for women. ,.
Beneficiaries

competitive examination, one properly prepared student each year, to

of Examiners is appointed for this purpose by the County Superinten-
dent of common schools. The results of examination are reported to
the Superintendent, who, from the data thus furnished. selects the ap-
i pointcc. Examinations are made upon subjects transmitted to the
. County Superintendent by the Faculty of the College. One appoint-
{ ment is made each year.

. chanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Scientific, Classical and
T Veterinary courses are all valid for the term of years necessary to

E1 This includes the course in the Academy.
d TZ It follows from the above that a county which makes its appoint-
D ments regularly according to law will have for the session of 1893-4
,_ ‘ one appointee in the College, for the session of 1894-5 two appointees,
1 for the session of 1895-6 three appointees, for the session of 1896-7 four
1 _ appointees. When the first appointee completes his course, or `
r ceases to be a student, another appointee takes his place. Vtfhen the
’ · quota of a county is full it will have at least four appointees in regu-
_ if lar attendance. ‘
L ‘ Each appointee is required to pass an entrance examination at the _
_ i College on the subjects comprising all that is embraced in Arithmetic,

, Student Labor.
· The work necessary for carrying on the agricultural and horticul- 1
tural operations of the College is done by the students, and is paid
’ for at rates varying from six to ten cents per hour. Its design is two- V
` fold: to put in practice the instruction received in the class-room, .
and to assist students who are in need of money. The experience of `
this College is that of Agricultural Colleges generally—that com- ,
pensated labor is not remunerative to the College
Zhe College holds itself under no obligation to fllrhish compensaled labor
to students. —
Students are paid monthly for the services rendered, and apply the l
money as they see proper. ,
