‘College. fihe Alumnius banquet which had been set for this

of the faculty will meet this warning at 10:30 o'clock to
consider what to do concerning the graduation exercises for

Resolutions ‘
Of Respect Adopted by the State College Faculty. %
' z
The faculty of the State College adopted the following f
resolutions of respect in memory of the late Wm. A.Patterson: \
The faculty of the State College of fihntucky desire to 5
give affectionate expression of their sorrow at the death of J
their young friend, Prof. William A. Patterson and to
commemorate in their records his fine intellectual gifts I
and loving heart,and his brief but honorable service as a s
teacher of youth. 5
All of us cherished for him a most friendly regard,
and from some of us who had known him longest and had been
his teachers or his fellow pupils before were his colleagues
in the faculty, he had won an endearing friendship and a
deep interest in his life and character and opening professional 3
career. I
We will hold him evermore in sacred and loving memory, §
and rever cease to be touched with the pathos of his trying
sickness and his early death. . J
; To his father, our presiding officer and cherished friend,
what can we say at this sad time? The poverty of human
speech forbids an adequate expression of the sympathy we have
with him and his wife in this overwhelming bereavement. We ’
stand awed and reverent in the presence of the unutterable
' sorrow of the stricken father and mother as they mourn the
loss of their child, the desire of their souls, and, as
best we can commend them to the mercy and guidance of the )
Lord their taker and Redeemer, and to the consolation of :
that deathless hope, who He bids us all to cherish in the ‘
darkest hour. }

,// Expresses the opinion that tho abolishing of the Academy at V
State University was illegal. ... I

/% Editor or Lsxmsros LEADER:

L Having been asked by some of my friends for my opinion upon .
the legality and the expediency of merging the Academy of the State
Lniveraity in the Department of Education and merging the latter in the
0011086 of Arts and Science; I present to the public on my own responsibility
the following. ...

Section two of the charter of the university authorizes the
hoard of Trustees to create departments and groups of departments at :
pleasure. There are, however, two units of organization which the hegislaturt
did not leave to be dealt with by the authority and discretion of tho
toard of irustees. These two departments, or units of organization, {
are the one the Academy, and the other the Department of Education,
the latter being designated as "or Collegiate Rank."

These two were created, not by the board but by the Legillaturo,
which created the Poard. This is fundamental and their maintenance ‘
obligatory. They can neither be consolidated with any other department,
nor absorbed, nor merged, nor disintegrated,nor abolished. Each must be
maintained in its integrity and not as a fiction. The Legislature alone‘
can change or abolish them. ...

 State College, Lexington, Kentucky, (Fayette 00-)
James Kennedy Patterson, President of State College of Kentucky,was born in the City
of Glasgow, Scotland, March 26, 1833. He came to this country in 1842. For some years
after coming to America Dr. Patterson's educational advantages were meager. In
1849-50 he attended a school in Madison Inaidna, tuahgt by Robert French, where he
finished the elementary branches and laid a foundation for classics and mathematics.
During the next year he taught and in May, 1851 entered Hanover College, Indiana,

V where he graduated at the head of his class in 1856. From 1856-1859 he had charge of
the Presbyterian Academy, Greenville, Kentucky. In the latter year he was elected Prin-
cipal of the Preparatory Dept. of Stewart College, Clarksville, Tenn. In 1861 was
elected Principal of Transyvania, and when that institution was merged with Kentucky
University he became Professor of Latin in the latter. In 1866 he became Professor
of History and Metaphysics in the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky
and in 1869 its president.

. h ; mm TRIBUTE
During the corrse of his renn rks when delivering the
diplomas t o the graduating class of Kentucky A. and M. College,
‘ Wednesday last, Governor Blackburn repeated a rare tribute paid
3 Prof. Patterson by tr. McCosh when in Kentucky a few months ago.
3 While at Frankfort the Doctor Spent an evening with the Governor,
f ‘ when in the course of conversation he said, "Sir, you do not
5 know what a rare jewel you have among you in Prof. *atterson.
; I know of none his superior in scholarly attainments, in ability
i as a writer, and in conversational power. You do not know how
near you were icing him two years ago. I wanted him at frinceton.
I want him there still,5and hope t1at the time will come when
' he may he with us in the College of New Jersey." The ssbstance
of this rerark wss repeated by Dr. MCCosh to Judge Kinkead when .
the Doctor was in the city. It may be hoped that the Doctor's -.

hope in this matter is not to be gratified. President

State of Kentucky has ever undertaken to build up, and for the

E Anybody Can Dig a Hole and Plant a. Seed, but to get the greatest

: Results From Tilling the Soil Requires Special Education, and the

Men who are inculcating This Education All Over United States and
Canada Will begin their Annual Convention in This City To-day.

At the Brown Palace Hotel this morning the ninth annual convention
of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experimental
Stations will open. A preparatory meeting of the Executive committee
was held last night. at which reports of secretaries and departmental
officers were prepared in order to have all in readiness for the general
sessions today. There are expected to be 120 delegates to the convention,
which will last until Friday. Following is a list of arrivals of delegates

. up to a late hour last night: ...

i The Sessions To-day.

3 At ten o'clock thisxmorning the general sessions will commence and .
reports of committees and chairmen of sections will be submitted. At 2
o'clock this afternoon all sections will meet and organize for preliminary
business. There are five sections, these being agriculture and horticulture,

' chemistry, entomology, college , mechanical arts. At 3 o'clock the sections

1 of agriculture, chemistry and mechanical arts will meet.

This evening at 7:30 general seSSions will,resume in the Chamber of
Commerce, at which the chairman will make his report and new and miscellaneous
business taken up. At 8 o'clock. at the same meeting, the president will
deliver his address. At 9 o'clock the sections on college work. horticulture
and entomology will meet.

At the opening of the general sessions Governor McIntire on behalf of
the state, and Mayor McMurray, on behalf of the city,will deliver addresses
of welcome to the delegates.

The association is made up 93 representatives from every one of the 57
agricultural colleges in the United States and 53 experimental stations.
Forty-eight of these agricultural colleges have a four year course and lead
to the degree of bachelor of science. The stations are all under the control
of the government and the government attaches much importance to these annual
conventions. Washington sends its own stenographers to attend and transcrib e
the business of all meetings.

A Successful Professor

When Aldermen John E. Leet caught sight of Prof. Patterson of the Xentuky
university, president of the institution, he at once transformed from an
active politician to a thorough student in agriculture and metaphysics .
Twenty-five years are Mr. T'eet attended Prof. Patterson's classes and half
way regrets he did not stick to the business. Many of his classmates did
well. Indeed Prof. Patterson's college is said to have turned out more
successful men than any other similar institution. The only man other than
a Frenchman who obtained the cross of the Legion of Honor for botanical

 2.
Agriculture as a Science. (Cont'd.)
was a classmate of Mr. Leets and an old student of Prof. Patterson. This
is T. B. Munsen now of Texas. One of the greatest industries of France
is winemaking and the ravages of insects among the vines amounted to
millions of francs annually. Munsen discovered in Texas a wild grape
that was fatal to the French pest. He went over to France with his roots,
grafted vines on to them and the result was a total success. For this
Munsen was decorated. From a commercial standpoint Munsen seems to hav e
been equally successful for he made a fortune growing flowers scientifically
in Texas.
Scope of Such Colleges.

Speaking of the work of the agricultural colleges and their mission.
Prof. Patterson said:

"Agricultural colleges are misunderstood. The idea that they are to
teachrfarming is not well comprehended. They do this but they do more.
They fit their students for successful agriculturalists, and in so doing
equip them for other walks of life. The Morrill bill. which started these
collegeS. does not confine their operations to farming pure and simple.
but to branches of it. I confess we find difficulty in obtaining students
for our agricultural collegeS. Farmers do not want their sons to be farmers
neither do clergymen. lawyers or other professional people. particularly
since the agricultural interests have become so depressed. The idea is
that by teaching a student botany so that he may understand plant life;
entomology.so that he may understand the insects which are incident to
farming: chemistry, so that he may understand the nature and origin of
soils, the student becomes fitted for following agriculture."

Attached to all agricultural colleges are mechanical departments.
chemistry laboratories. botanical gardens. irrigation and hydraulic
departments and other higher educational branches.

On Thursday President Alston Ellis of the Colorado Agricultural college
will read an interesting paper upon what studieS‘ should be combined in
a course at an agricultural college. and why they should be. This will

. be one of the most interesting papers read at the convention from a pepular
point of view.
