To the Hon. Board of Trustees
at the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Kentucky.
Gentlemenz~

The State college of Kentucky grows apace. The year
just closed has been the mast prosperous in the history of the
institution. The matriculatian for the year is, including the
summer Schools, 956, euxvasaing that of all preceding years. The
camuonwealth of Kentucky has shared in the general propaeritv 0f
the country. People of all classes have consequently been able to
provide a larger number of their sons and daughters with the means
of education. There has been a very remarkable and a very general
awakening of interest in educational matters all over the scuth.
This has taken shape in a simultaneous movement for better cancels
and better systems of education. Each State has applied iteelt an
the problems connected with immrovement, more thorough ccuraea of
study, better teachers, better salaries, better school~houeen and
equipments¢and perhapa most immortant Of all, subjects of inetrue»
ticn designed to fit the pupil for special pursuits, professions
and avccationa in life. They go farther and address themselves to
the problems connected with high school education, college educa~
tion and university education. There has been a general uplift
all 8.10118 the line:

The impulse has been felt in Kentucky, but has fallen
far short of the intensity which has characterized the movement in
eVery state south of us. We have felt its influence in the state
college. It has added appreciably to our matriculaticn list. Ac
it deepens and widens, we will feel its beneficial reunite still

more .

The principal cause, however, in the enlargement of our
attendance is the growing interest and pride felt thrcughcut the
State in the State College and its work. The thoroughness of ita

 

  

 

 

 

«9..
work, the variety and comprehensiveness of its courses of study
and the success achieved by its Alumni are becoming better known
and contribute to swell our numbers for beyond what could have
been expected a few years ago. All canoeition, especially from
denominational sources, has practically conned. WhateVer of oppo«
sition may exist, exists not obtrusively. Animositiee ant antago—
nisne, 1t is true, are not extinguished in one generation, but
when one remembers the fierce opposition of twenty-five years ago
and the active hostility which the College encountered at each
session of the General Assembly for years thereafter, the surprise
is that from surface indications it has almost wholl? dieagyeered.

This is illustrated by the genera; feeling that the tire
has now come when the State should by appropriate Legislation eem
tablieh a state University and that the State college of Kentucky
provides a basis for such an institution. Expreaeion ie given to
this idea in public unetinge, Teachere’ Aeaociatione'and Agricnle
tural Institutes. many prominent members or the General Aaceflbly,
preeent and prospective, are ready to give their support to the
movement and to translate opinion into accomplished fact.

These three causes sufficiently account for the increased

attendance, viz.: The general prosperity of the country, affording“

increased means whereby increased facilities may be obtained, 2nd.
the general advance in education in the southern states in which
Kentucky has participated, though in a less degree, and 3rd, the
growing interest and pride in the state college as an institution
of high character and efficiency. It 15 then matter for congratur
lation that through these concurring causes the college has grown
in all its departments, and that public Opinion concurs in the
conviction that it has not only earned its right to live, but to

 

  

 

 

.03...
take on the higher rank and dignity to which it is entitled, vie.:
that of the "University of the State of Kentuc}; .0 Since its rel-
organization in 1880, it has passed a protation of twentyweeven
years, Its minority was“ disciplined. in the school of adversity. It
had to fight for all it get and had to fight to retain what 1t
had gotten. It has grown true a meagre 11100125 or $10,000. to an
assured incume of $100,000,, from rented quarters in which to carry
on its operations to the possession of realty executing in value
to $700,000. or $800,000., and of buildings and equipments far ex~
twang in value those of any other inetitution in the commonwealth,
it has stretched Out its hands to the high ech001e and eeminarlee of
learning, lifted them to a higher plane, inspired them with a new
life and made them feeders and auxiliaries for itself. Directly
in itself and indirectly through the high schools, it has been a
potent laterage for liftlng the common schools to a higher level
through the intimate relations established by the Legislature hem
tweed it and the common $011001 system in the selection of county
beneficiarnes for admission into its classes. Mereover, through
the recent decision of the court of Appeals, the prior existence or
its Normal School has made penalble the constitutional recognition
of the Auxiliary Normal schools established by the laet General
Assembly“ The court helds that the prior eetabliehed Normal School
in the State college and its priar recognized constitutionality b?
the Gene'tltdtion as an integral part of the state Gellege, makes

the recently established normal schools constitutional became they
owe their wig-hence to the division of the State Normal School into

tlxme parts of which they each are one part.
The State College has thus become 8 potent leverage for-
the ufiJ’rr‘ailfiJflg cf the common 80110013 $113033}! a perennial supply Of

 

  

.4.-
' commetent teachers by the Normal School or the state college and

its aufliarhe .

The increase in numbers requires a corresponding expan-
sion in buildings, equipment and instruction. This year there are
three Buildings under construction, besides the enlargement of the
Engineering Building during the early part of the year. It is one
trowel? doubtful whether any part of the existing income can be
legitimately applied in this direction. The Erecutive committee,
however, took the responsibility of the preliminary appropriations
and the Beard ratified their action. The consequence is that a
building for the use of the Department of Education is well forward
and will be completed in time for the opening of the Autumn term
in September. A building intended as a part of a larger_ono for
the use of the Department of Agriculture will also be ready for
occupancy at the beginning of the next collegiate year. These
were much needed, indeed indispeneeblo, and the recognition of
this necessity induced the Executive committee and the Board to
eat. There was no available fund in the Treasury to meet this
expenditure. The Chairman of the Board was directed to borrow.
While the money was obtained without difficulty, the college is
responsible for a debt at $60,000., involving an annual additional
outlay of 83,000. until the obligation is cancelled.

on» other building under process of construction is the
Carnegie Library. I reported to the Board in June 1906 that I had
obtained frOm Mr. Garnegie a gift of $20,000. for the erection of
a Library. The conditions nmwe or lose onerous Which he usually
attiches to his gifts were rottunately waived by him in this 1n~
stance, the only condition being a pledge by the Board that the?

 

  

.45...
Would provide Outside of sources of income then existing $2,000.
per annum for the upkeep of the Library. This obligation was exe~
outed by the Board and accepted. After the plane and apeolfioc~
tlone were prepared and hide invited thereon, we found it impos—
sible to erect and equip such a bolldlng no the dignity of the 1n~
stltutton required for the amount of money at our dietosel. I ac—
cordingly wont to New York in January and after ccnmultation with
the architect, asked Mr. Carnegie fer $6500. in addition to his
previous gift, on condition that the pledge for the upkeep be inw
creased from $2000. to $2650. With the oo~operatioh of friends,
my application was successful. The Building is now under way and
will be completed in 180 working days dating from April let. I
may call the attention of the Board to the difficulties in the
way of getting the original as well as the supplementary gift.
let. Mr. Carnegie had given the City $60,000. for a library and he
did not care to duplicate his gift to the same place for a kindred
purpose. 2nd. Hie policy is to aid institutions which haVe no
connection with the State, assumihg that the respective states should
provide for State colleges and Universities. 5rd. Having once
made a gift, he regards that as a closed incident and does not
care to remopen it. I therefore congratulate the State cellege
on the outcome of this eomeuhet difficult negotiation. I may add
that I am not without hope that I may be able to induce Mr. Carnegie

to do something more for the State College in the no distant fu«

ture. To this Prince of benefactors our most grateful thanks are
due. x hope that the Board before it adjourns will take appro—
priate action in reference thereto.

I am gratified by the encouraging prospeotc before the
Danartments of Agriculture and Mining Engineering. The former has

 

 ~4§~
now a locus etandi which it hop never had before. The latter has

been grow1ng, notwithstanding that it is still practically out of
doors. the same may be said of the Department of Civil Engineer»
ing. With a matriculation or over one hundred and much the largest
percentage of graduates in the class of 1907, it also is practi—
cally out Of doors, with the exception of a small room in the En~
gineerlng Building and an improvised drawing~r00m in the old dorml~
toryéc1g°§ee absolutely no quarters. The neglect of which the
Normal and the course in Agriculture complained have been in

great measure redreseed. But the evil plight in which these

found themselves was 38 nothing compared with the absolute dee~
titution or the courses in Mining Engineering and civil Engineer—
ing. Other courses more oonepiououe and ehowy but doing no better
work and no more deserving have appealed to and elicited the sup~
port of the Board, to the neglect of these equally usefulaand
equally deserving objects of your care and of your dutiful support.
I therefore urgently call the attention of the Board to the imperam
tive necessity of providing buildings and equipment for the use

of these two courses of study. You cannot longer ignore the claims
of these and justify your seeming neglect. A concerted propaganda
for obtaining the money should be set on root at once. Public
Opinion among prospective members of the General Assembly should be
taken in hand and it possible favorably determined immediately are
ter nominations are known to have been made and before the Legio-
leture meets in Prankrort in January 1908.

I an gratified to be able to inform you officially of
what you have in all probability learned through the public press,
that before the adjournment of the last congress an annual appro-

riatlon was made oupnlementary to the income derived from the

 

 

 

 ~flb
Federal Government under the acts of 1862 and 1890. The measure
passed as an amendment to the general appropriation hill. Early
in January a letter frOm senator Nelson of Minnesota, the authar
of the bill, informed me of its introduction and requested my aid
in shaping congressional Opinion in its behalf. I immodiatelv went
to Washington and had interviews with our fianators and most of our
representatives, all of whom premised to support the measure. The
bill gives $5,000. for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908 and
96000. additional eadh year thereafter till the maximum $25,000.
is reached. This fund, however, under the ruling of the $cretary
of the Interior, must be divided with the calored population in
1heraame~prop¢rtion as the income accruing under the former acts,
viz., in the ratio of 14.5 to 85.5. When the maximum is reached.

that is, in June 1902, the additional income to the college will

be $31,375. yearly. This, you will note, represents the income at
five percent on a capitalized endowment or $427,500. The hoaaell\‘
bill for the endowment of schools of mines and mining engineering
was not acted upon by the last congress. I have already can»
carted measures for having it re~caet and renintrOduced by one of
the most prominent members or the next.

This increase in revenue is gratifying. I beg you, how—
ever, to reflect that while your revenue is increasing, your 91*
penditurea are increasing still more rapidly: growth in attendance
requires beyond a certain limit aub-dlvielon of classes, addition~
a1 class-room, additional (equipment and additional instructors.
Expenditures for water, light», heating and service grow proportiahw
ately. I have endeavored to curtail expenditures, but they grow
beyond income. This year the budget shows that the expenditures
for the next collegiate year "111 exceea income by ten or fifteen.
thousand dollars.

The demand on every hand is for educated men. The Alumni

 

 

 

 5.8.-

of our College must, in order to maintain their renniotion, be as
thoroughly educated ac those of the beat colleges and univereitiee
in the country. But the indispensable condition for this is money,
money for instruction, none? for laboratories, money for buildings,
money for original research. We require double the income which
we now possess. Great colleges and univeroitiee require hundreds
of thoueande in order to keep in the first rank and do effective
work. our Trustees have a double duty to perform, via}. to exaend
judiciously and economically what they have and to devise the means
for getting more. All the great universities in the country foundh
ed uhon the land grant of 1862 have trebled and quadrupled their
incomes within the last ten years. They expand from $450,000. to
$1,500,000. annually. We must make corresponding advances in in“
oome it we heap pace with those institutions which are leading the
intellectual, moral, industrial, economic and commercial develop~
flout of the country.

With our meagre resources we have achieved marvellous ro—

eulte. With greater we could achieVe greater still.

I approve of all rational means for physical training,

both in the development and conservation of energy. Indoor instruow
tied and outdoor practice are both good and should he encouraged.
But in doing this there is danger that they be eterdone, that they
be carried to excess and usurp time which belohge to the serious
‘bueinees of liberal and technical education. The instruction given
in the Gymnasium by the Physical Director is all that the collego'
curriculum requires. This instruction is scientific and systematic.
Foot.ba;1 and base b311,ocoupv additional time and here odmee in the
excess and the waste. 1 do not propose or suggest that those

aporto should be forbidden, but I do insist that they should be
limited within the bounds of expediency and economy. Very few of

those who became the leaders ane‘the devotees of these games ao—
complieh.muoh in study or make respectable attainments. Their
minds become abeorbed in sports instead of college work. This
board ought to limit the time which may be allotted to field
sports, to dances and to other Kinds of amusements which dissipate
energy, create habits of idleness and wreck the serious business
and purposes 0f life.

In company with the Director of the Experiment Station
and five or six members of the Board of Trustees, I Visited during
the second week in May the State Universities of Indiana, Lilinoie
and Wisconsin. I had visited these institutions before and knew
somewhat of their resources, their equipments and their work. The?
are 310ng rapidly. The}! have already beoOme institutions of
more than national reputation, and are destined to attain yet.
greater distinction. Their success has been made possible by the
large annual appropriation made by their respective states for
their maintenance. Purdue university has an income of $260,000.
yearly, Illinois University over t1,ooo,ooo., and the University
of Wisconsin over $1,000,000. They each receive special appropri—
ations for buildings of large amount. These amounts are exclusive
of the funds which accrue from congressional legislation. With such
large resources at their commend, they are able to extend their
operations as the exigencies of'liberal ermd technical educetion

require. They command thousands where we command hundreds. Unrorw

tunatelv our people are slow to comprehend the advantages and necw
eeeitiee of Institutions doing advanced work. The chill 0f parei~
many paralyzee our educational activities. The signs, however, of

 

 

 -10.

awakermtg aativity are manifest. There are indications of a grown-
1ng 111363:th on the part a: the Oomonmalth. It may be years
before the awakening is translated into enthusiasm, before Kentucky
realizes herself and her duty to her citizens. But that it will
come I feel assured. Let us than take courage. The clay is dam~
ing, the clouds are lifting. The state College Of Kentunky W111

make it the 31112116: not of a State college, but of a State Univer—
sity, with an insane four times as large as that of the present,

equipments, the glory of the commonwealth and the pride of its
citizens.

In conclusion, I beg to thank you for your eonttnned
