INTRODUCTORY.

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. 8 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
upon an independent basis, but made one of the Colleges
of Kentucky University, to which institution the annual
interestof the proceeds of the Congressional land grant
were to be given for the purpose of carrying on its opera-
tions. The land scrip had meanwhile been sold for fifty
cents per acre, and the amount received—$165,000——in-
vested in six per cent. Kentucky State bonds, of which the
State became the custodiah in trust for the College.

The connection with Kentucky University,continued till
I878, when the act of 1865, making it one of the Colleges
of said University, was repealed, and a commission appoint-
ed to recommend to the Legislature of 1879—’80 a plan of
organization for an Agricultural and Mechanical College
such as the necessities of the Commonwealth require; The
city of Lexington offered to the Commission, which was

- also authorized to recommend to the General Assembly the

place, which, all things considered, offered the best and
greatest inducements for the futurerand permanent location
of the College, the City Park, containing fifty~two acres of
land, within the limits of the city, and thirty thousand dol-

lars in city bondsfor the erection of buildings. This offer
the county of Fayette supplemented by twenty thousand
dollars in county bonds, to be used either for the erection
of buildings or for the purchase of land. The offers of the
city of Lexington and of the county of Fayette were ac-
cepted by the General'Assembly. '

By the act of incorporation, and the amendments thereto,
constituting the charter of the Agricultural and. Mechan-
ical College of'Kentucky, 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 fur—
nishing properly qualified teachers. This College, with the
associated departments which will, from time to time, be
opened as the means placed at the disposal of the Trustees
Will allow, will, it is hoped. in the no distant future, do a
great work in advancing the educational interest of Ken-
, tucky. Being entirely undenominational in its character, it
will appeal with confidence to people of all creeds and of no
creed, and will endeavor, in strict conformity with the re-
quirements of its organic law, to afford equal advantages to
all, exclusive- advantages to none. The liberality of the
Commonwealth in supplementing the inadequate annual in
come 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
wants of our people, the operations of the institution whose
management and oversight have been committed to them
by the General Assembly of Kentucky.

Report of the President of the College to the Board, June
8, 1880.

T 0 the Hmzoméle Board of Trusz’ees of Me Agricultural and

Mec/zam'azl College of Kentucky:

GENTLEMEN: The collegiate year 1879-’80, of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, has been even more en-
couraging in its results than the preceding one.

One hundred and thirty-six students have been matricu-
lated, of whom 113 are from Kentucky and 23 from other
States. This number exceeds that of the preceding year
by 15 per cent, and that of the collegiate year 1877—8, the
last of the connection of this College with the Kentucky .
University, by 76 per cent. As in the collegiate year
1878-’9,‘the inability to supply compensated labor-to all
Who applied, prevented many from entering the College.
The compensated labor system has always been a popular
feature. It has enabled a large number to begin their
studies who ultimately found other means of support, and
who, but for the aid thus furnished them at the outset, would
in all probability never have been able to make a beginning
at all. Though student labor is unprofitable, and our ex-
perience in this respect is only that of all other colleges
Where compensated labor is furnished to students, still I
believe the books of the Treasurer will show that the Insti-
tution has incurred little or no loss from this feature in its
organizatiOn. I am glad to be able to state that the crops
made last year were disposed of at fairly remunerative prices,
the proceeds of which, made even a larger balance than was
estimated in the report which I‘ had the honor to make to
the Board of Visitors last year. I estimate that the unex-
pended balance on hand at the close of the fiscal year end

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL

 

ing July I, 1880, will not fall far short of $2,700, besides
the crop. This consists of 20 acres of wheat, 20 acres of
oats, 30 acres of corn, and two acres of potatoes, all of
which have been cultivated by student labor, and which it
is estimated will yield about $1,000 more, making the prob-
able balance, when the crop is matured and gathered in,
after paying for labor, about $3,300.

The system adopted last year of providing elementary
instruction by tutors was continued during the present. It
was found necessary to meet the increased wants of the
College through increased attendance, by employing addi-
tional tutors. The classes thus provided for were taught
under the supervision of the Faculty, and in the main, with
satisfactory results.

Instruction has been furnished in the several classes
which make up the departments of Civil History, Politi-
cal Economy, English Literature, Moral Philosophy, Mod-
ern Languages, Mental Philosophy, Chemistry, Agricultural
Chemistry, Natural History, Practical Mechanics, and Civil
Engineering. Provision was also made for giving instruc-
tion to two elementary classes in Latin. It is proper, in
this connection, to add, that during the year now brought to
a close, an advanced course in Agricultural Chemistry was
given, and that, in addition - to the hitherto existing course
of instruction in Natural History, a series of lectures were
given upon Economic Botany, upon the relation of Geology
to soils, of forests to agriculture, and of insectsto vegeta-
tion. .

Four young men have completed, in a satisfactory man-
ner, the course of study prescribed by the College, and are
recommended by the Faculty to the Board for the degree of

Bachelor of Science. They are: James Crawford,.Winches- '

ter, Tenn.; Alfred Meredith Peter, Fayette county, Ky.;

Whatley, Jacksonville, Ala.

I beg to express, in conclusion, my thanks for the hearty
and intelligent co-operation of the Board of Visitors, to
whom the management and control of the Institution was
committed during the provisional period now brought to a
close. To those, upon whom the weight of responsibility
has chiefly fallen, the Commonwealth, I am sure, owes a
debt of gratitude for the measures so wisely devised and so
ably executed.

They took the Institution under their care, after its sep-
aration from Kentucky University, when in evil plight.
There was not a cent in the treasury. There were neither
seeds with which to plant the ground, on which its provis-
ional existence was to be maintained, nor implements where-
with to cultivate it. It closed the last year of its connection
with Kentucky University with seventy- eight matriculates;
it closes the present year with one hundred and thir-ty seven.
All its obligations are paid up to date. It has paid often-
times as much as $125 per month for student labor; has
made effective provision for preparatory instruction ; bought
some farming stock, and some machinery for practical me-
chanics, and will close the biennial period with a surplus,
crop included, of over $3,000.

The measure of success achieved, under circumstances so
discouraging at the outset, encourages us to hope that, with
the aid so generously given by the city of Lexington and
the county of Fayette, whereby grounds and buildings ade-
quate to its present necessities will be provided, and with
the additional endowment obtained from the State, whereby
its facilities for instruction will be extended, and its efficiency
increased, the Board of Trustees, to whom the care and
oversight of the State College is now committed, will be

able, 'in the no distant future, to make it an institution of
