Agricultural and Mechanical. Colleges in the United States owe their origin to an act of Congress, entitled “An Act Donating Pub- lic 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. 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 was made one of the colleges of Kentucky University, to which institution the annual proceeds of the Congressional landgrant was to be given for the purpose of carrying on its operations. The landserip had meanwhile been sold ; sacrificed 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 the Kentucky University continued until 1878, when the act of 1865 making it one of the colleges of the said Univer- sity was repealed, and a commission was appointed to recom- mend to the Legislature of 1879-80 a plan of organization for an institution, including an Agricultural and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 commission (which was also author- ized to recommend to the General Assembly the place which, all tilings considered, offered the best and greatest inducements for the future and permanent location of the college) the city park, containing fifty-two acres of land, within the limits of this city, and $30,000 in city bonds, to be used either for the erection of buildings or for the purchase of land. The county of Fayette sup- plemented this offer by $20,000 in county bonds. The offers of the city of Lexington and of the county of Fayette were accepted by the General Assembly. By the act of incorporation and the amendment thereto, con- 6 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. stituting the charter of the Agricultural and Mechanical 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 sell olol system* by furnishing properly qualified teachers. This college, with the additional departments which will from time to time he opened as the means placed at the disposal of the trustees allow, will, it isl hoped, in the not distant future, do a great work in advancing the educational interests of Kentucky. Being entirely undenominational m its character, it will appeal with confidence to people of all creeds, and of no creeds, and will endeavor to restrict conformity with the re- quirements of its organic law, to afford equal advantages to all, and exclusive privileges to none. The liberality of the Common- wealth in supplementing the: inadequate annual income arising from the proceeds of the landscrip invested in State bonds, will, i't is be- lieved, enable the trustees to begin and carry on, upon a scale com- mensurate with the wants of our people, the operations of the insti- tution whose management and oversight have been committed to them by the General Assembly of Kentucky. SCOPE OF STUDIES. In the act of Congress making provision for the class of ^olleges- 1o which the State College partly belongs, it is declared “that iheir leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture! and the mechanic arts in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life.” To the two departments of agriculture and! mechanic arts, con- templated in the act, a normal school has been added by the State and an experimental station by the United States, while liberal provis- ion has been made for instruction in all branches of science and in the classics, so that this institution is far more than an agricultural and mechanical college, embracing as it does not merely the two original departments, but thirteen others. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. THE NORMAL DEPARTMENT. The normal department of the State College exists under the authority of acts of the General Assembly approved April 23, and April 29, 1880. Section 7 of the first act briefly defines the object for which the department was established, “ A normal department or course of instruction for irregular periods, designed 1 more par- ticularly, but not exclusively, to qualify teachers; for common and other schools, shall be established in connection with the college.” The second act provides the necessary endowment to make the act effective. The number of students annually enrolled in the norma! school has exceeded expectation. As they come from all parts of the State, and many of them return well prepared for the profession of teach- ing, they must greatly promote the proficiency of our common schools generally, and demonstrate the wisdom of the General Assem- bly in providing an inexpensive normal school, centrally located and easy of access, to keep the State always supplied with well trained leathers. THE KENTUCKY EXPERIMENT STATION. This department of the State College originated in a resolution of the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, adopted in September, 1885, when the department was organized and a director appointed. In 188b the Station was recognized and named by the General Assembly, and in 1887 it and a similar Station in every other State were each endowed by Congress with an annual ap- propriation of |15,000. The work of the Station is directed to two objects: 1. To a constant succession of experiments made by specialists, in order to learn what application of science will insure the best returns! from the farm, the garden, the orchard, the vineyard, the stock- yard and the dairy. 2. To the publications of bulletins annouuce- ing such results of the experiments as are found to be valuable to those of the people of Kentucky who seek profit from either of those prime sources of wealth — the soil, the flock or the herd. Results of experiments have been published in ten annual re- ports and ninety bulletins, and general appreciation of their utility is shown in the fact that, while no bulletin is sent except upon 8 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. application for i + , the mailing list of the Station contains more than 8.000 names, and is ever increasing. With an ample endowment, a large and commodious building planned for the purpose, adequate apparatus, a good experimental farm of over two hundred acres and worth $60,000, conveniently situated, and thirteen capable scientists always employed and in correspondence with other Stations, the Kentucky Experiment Sta- tion is net only an important adjunct of the College in the education of students for the leading industrial pursuits, hut directly or in- directly, through the wide and continued diffusion of knowledge for the benefit of so large a portion of our population, it is) ex- tremely useful to the Commonwealth at large. LOCATION. The State College of Kentucky is established in the old city park just within the southern boundary of Lexington, and near the Cincinnati Southern Railway. The site is elievated and com- mands a good view of much of the city and of the surrounding country. Lexington, now a growing city of thirty odd) thousand inhabit amts, is in the heart of the far-famed bluegrass region, a region dis 1 - tinguished for fertility and healthfulness, wealth and beauty. Nu- merous schools and churches, intelligent and refined population, well paved streets, handsome buildings, extensive water works and an unsurpassed system of street electric railways make Lexington attractive as a seat of learning and place of residence, while the splendid stock farms scattered over -the large body of fertile country around it afford it advantages hardly equaled elsewhere) for the student who desire to become familiar with 'the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine in America. Moreover, Lexington is the rail- road center of Kentucky, in immediate connection With Louisville, Cincinnati. Mavsville and Chattanooga, and with more than seventy counties of the Commonwealth. GROUNDS. The campus of the college consists of fifty-two acres of land, located within the corporate limits of Lexington. The South Limestone street elect rU car line extends along its entire western border, STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 9 giving opportunity to reach in a few minutes any part 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 shrubsl, to which, additions are constantly being made. A portion of the land has recently been reserved for a botanical garden, in which will be grown the most desirable native plants, with a view to testing their adaptability to cultivation, and to give increased facilities to stu- dents taking agricultural and biological courses. About three-quarters of a mile south of the campus, on the, Nich- ofasviiTe pike, an extension of South Limestone street, is the Experi- ment Station Farm, consisting of two hundred and three acres sixty-four and a half acres of which have been added by recent pur- chase. 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 experiments of a thoroughly equipped and organized Station. The front of the farm is pasture and orchard. The back portion is divided off info two hundred one-tenth acre plots, for con- venience in making crop tests. BUILDINGS. The main college building is ai structure of stone and brick, 140 feet long and 69 feet wide. It contains the office of the president and the business agent, and on the third floor, counting the base- ment floor as one, is the chapel in which each day the students and faculty meet, and in which are held public gatherings and such other meetings as bring together the entire student body. The remaining space in this building is occupied by recitation rooms. The Station building is a handsome structure, well planned for the object for which it was made. It is seventy feet in length, by flftv-four feet in width, with a tower projection in front and am octagonal projection eighteen hv eighteen on the north side. The building is two stories high, with a basement eleven feet from floor to ceiling. The main entrance is on the first floor on fh'e west side of the building, through an archway fifteen feet wide. The next floor above is devoted to office and laboratory work of the Station, while the upper floor accommodates the college work in chemistry. 10 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. The building devoted to mechanical engineering covers altogether an area of about 20,000 feet, is constructed of stone and pressed brick, and is well furnished with modern conveniences for work in this branch of engineering. Two large brick dormitories on the campus afford boarding con- venience for the students who wish to lessen expense in this direction. There are also on the campus a brick dwelling for the president and a cottage occupied by the commandant. Science Hall, built during the year 1897 for the departments of natural science, is 96x97 feet, of pressed brick, trimmed with Bowl- ing Green limestone. The wide halls, the numerous and spacious lecture rooms, laboratories and offices in its three stories are con- veniently arranged, well lighted, and well furnished. On the Experiment Farm are a brick dwelling, occupied by the director of the Station, and the usual farm buildings for the care of tools, the protection of stock and the like. A brick building 157 feet long and 100 feet wide, with the central part three stories high and the wings two, has just been completed at a cost of $25,000. The central part will be appropriated to the college societies and the Y. M. C. A., the alumni hall, trustees’ room and armory; the wings will contain the drill hall and: the gymnasium. A site of three and a half acres on Limestone street and a fourth of a mile ‘south of the college has been purchased for 1 tftie young women’s dormitory. The building is to cost $20,000, and be' completed by the beginning of the next session. DESCRIPTION OF GYMNASIUM, STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Through the liberality of the General Assembly of 1901 a! gymna- sium and drill hall has been built on the State College grounds. The building is of imposing design; the main portion of the build- ing is three stories high and the two wings are one and two stories) high, respectively. The building is of pressed brick with Bedford stone trimmings, slate roof and stone foundation. The first story of the main part of the building is built of Bedford limdstbne! in broken ashlar. The first floor of the central portion of the building is devoted to a locker room for women, armory, trophy room, commandant’s office and physical director’s office. The second STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 11 floor is sot aside for alumni lia,ll, trustee’s room, and literary soi ciety room. The third floor is occupied by two literary society rooms and Y. M. 0. A. The wing on the right of the building is 48x95 feed and is 1 an open room with hard clay floor; this room is for military exercises during inclement weather. The wing on the left is 48x95 feet and is two storiesi high; the basement floor contains rhe bath rooms. lockers for men, wash stands, shower baths, water closets and swimming pool; the second floor is the gymnasium floor, proper and is magnificently equipped with the best gymnasium ap- paratus that could be procured. The height of this room is twenty feet; on a balcony running entirely around the room is a running track properly concaved for speed and covered with felt. The roof over the gymnasium room is supported on steel trusses to which all hanging apparatus is attached; the trusses over the drill hall are of wood. The building is lighted throughout by electric light and all of the fixtures are of Bower-Banf finish. The drill hall and gymna- sium room are lighted with enclosed arc lamps. The finish throughout the building is of yellow pine, the walls are sand finished in gray and the ceilings in smooth white. There are two entrances into the front, and vestibules have tile floor. The building is heated by an independent plant using the vacuum system of steam heating and steam is circulated throughout the building at a pressure of eight ounces. The building is located to the left of the main college building and at a distance to make it convenient to the athletic field. The building is arranged so as 1 to accommodate the young men and young women at different times, the locker rooms for men and women are entirely removed and on different floors. The rooms used for society rooms, Y. M. C. A., trustee’s rooms and alumni hall are com- modious and splendidly adapted for their purpose. SCHOOL OF MINES. The Legislature of 1897-8 made provision for the establishment of a school of mining engineering in the A. & M. College on the ex- piration of the term of service of the inspector of mines appointed by Governor Bradley. This occurred January 19, 1902. The act provides that the offices of inspector of mines and Ms assistants shall henceforward be at the State College, that these 12 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. officials shall no longer he political appointee® holding under an appointment of the Governor, hut that they shall he appointed hy the board of trustees of the college ; that in addition to their duties as inspector and assistant inspector of mines they shall 1 he professors in the college — the former being dean of the faculty of mining engi- neering, and that they shall hold office as professors in the college on identical conditions with other professors. The board of trustees have elected Mr. C. J. Norwood, former inspector of mines, to suc- ceed Mr. G. W. Stone, the late incumbent. A suitable staff of assist- ants will he associated with him, and the School of Mines was opened early in 1902. The importance of this addition to the Schools of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineer- ing can not be overestimated. The coal and iron of Kentucky — the oil fields in which important discoveries have been made — the valuable deposits of fire clay — the excellent stone for building and other min- eral deposits of value— all press upon the Commonwealth the urgen- cy of the sTeps taken for establishing a first-class School of Mining Engineering. The Legislature will be asked for a liberal! appropriation to supply the necessary equipment in order to make theoretical, instruction effective. The Legislature has established the school and it now behooves it to supply the necessary material for making it a productive agency in education worthy of the State. COMMON SCHOOLS AND THEIR RELATION TO THE COL- LEGE. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS. It is difficult for us to raise the standard of admission so long as the common school standard and that of a majority of the second- ary or high schools remain at the present level. There is a tendency for these to teach too many things, rather than to teach them thorough- ly. So far a,s the requirements of the State College are concerned we should get students much better prepared for our work in all our courses of study if fewer subjects were taught and those taught with more thoroughness. We want pupils well grounded in spelling, reading, writing, geography, English grammar and arithmetic. Too much insistence can not be placed upon the necessity fbr STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 13 these. The law requires that all appointees from counties be actually examined 1 by examiners appointed by county superintendents! within dates set forth in the law; that the questions! for examination be prepared by the college and transmitted' to superintendents; that the examination cover the subjects taught in the common schools and that candidates for appointment shall have completed the com- mon school course. Moreover, the examinations when there are more applicants than one shall be competitive and' the appointment given to the one who passes the best examination. The Successful com- petitor is entitled to free tuition, matriculation, fuel and lights and lodging as far as the accommodation on the grounds! will permit; and traveling expenses hither and return if the appointee remains one year. Many of the superintendents, I regret to say, ignore the require- ments of the law. They fail to appoint a date for examination; fail to examine; fail to enter grades made. They issue so-dalled) ap- pointments to persons not entitled to them — send them hither to be subjected to the mortification of failing to pass the entrance examina- tion and to the expense of a fruitless journey. Many innocent per- sons are thus misled and betrayed by negligent or incompetent 1 su- perintendents who are paid to do duties which they neglect and ignore. Surety this matter is susceptible to remedy, and we earnestly invoke your aid and cooperation in securing by appropriate legis- lation the remedy required. The college is made by the sections 14 and 15 of the act of March, 1893, the virtual head of the common school system, and you amdl we are equally interested in seeing that the liberal provisions of the act are made productive of fruitful and beneficent results. No such liberal provision has been made by any State in the Union for carrying forward the education of the common schools into the col- lege and it behooves ns to see that this liberality does not fail! to accomplish the results intended. Let us make education in the com- mon school's more thorough and let. us require under a penalty the county superintendents to do their duty.* We believe that you will, with all the energy and wisdom at your command cooperate gladly with us in providing the necessary means to secure this most desirable end. 14 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Every one of tlie “Land Grant” Colleges, organized under the Act of 1862, are liberally provided by the respective States in which they are situated, with the necessary buildings and appliancesi by which agricultural education may be made effective. The principal industry of Kentucky is and for generations to come will be agricul- ture. The competition is so keen and the aggregate acreage of the United States so large that unless intelligence be brought to bear upon the cultivation of the soil, those who are owners of land 1 in Kentucky, instead of becoming richer, must gradually become poorer from year to year. No soil, however fertile, will, unless its elements of fertility be replenished, from time to time, last forever. In many localities, the wear and tear upon the soil is already beginning to tell seriously upon production. The farmer then should be intimately acquainted with the origin of soils and their constituent elements. He should know what these elements of fertility are, how they are dissipated and how they may be replenished. This implies an intimate know- ledge of the mechanical constituents of the soil and their chemical properties. It is the part of the agricultural college to supp]|y this information to the farmer. This is done partly by the education of young men who have matriculated in agricultural' courses of study, and partly by the bulletins) issued from time to time by the Experi- ment Stations connected with the “Land Grant” colleges, and dis- seminated gratuitously among the agriculturists of the State. Not only should the intelligent farmer know the mechanical and chemi- cal constituents of the soil, but he should know how plants feed and how plants grow. That is to say, he should know the elements of nutrition drawn from the soil aud drawn from the atmosphere. This knowledge is supplied by the agricultural college through instruction given in the germination of seeds, the nutrition of plant life, and the development and growth of the plant. Furthermore, the products of the soil in herbage aud in grain exist in our Commonwealth largely for the benefit of the stock to which they are fed. Our horses and our cattle, our sheep and our swine, and our poultry transform the products of the soil into flesh and blood, partly for use and partly for consumption. It is essential then that the intelligent stock feeder and stock breeder should know upon what animals feed and how they grow, that they should know the law® of production, the laws of heredity and the principles of cross-breeding, and fertilization, in order that the most economical results may be obtained. These, with the preceding, necessarily im- STATE COLLEGE pF KENTUCKY. 15 ply an intimate knowledge of both botany and zoologjy, especially in their economic relations. Now, in these three lines of study, namely, the knowledge of the soil, the knowledge of the laws of plant life*, ihe knowledge of the laws of animal life, physics, chemistry, the physiology and pathology of plant life, and the physiology and path' ology of animal life, are intimately concerned and form the founda- tion of the education of an intelligent farmer. The Agricultural and Mechanical College, though it has been in existence for years, has never been adequately provided with build- ings and equipments for rendering agricultural education effective. W e have done the best we could with the meager facilities at our dis- posal, but the time lias now come when it is imperative that larger! provisions, on a much more extended scale, should be made for in- struction in agriculture, in horticulture, and in stock breeding, than we have ever had hitherto. The farmers of Kentucky pay a large pro- portion of the tax levied for the support of the college anid are in justice entitled to corresponding benefits from its operations, I therefore believe that the time has come when by a united effort we should endeavor to obtain from the General) Assembly an appropria- tion, generous and liberal, for the erection of the necessary buildings and for their proper equipment in all that is needed for 1 education along agricultural lines. Of equal importance are the claims of the teachers of Kentucky and the common school system of Kentucky upon the State College for the maintenance of a school for the education and training of teachers. There were, T understand, several hundred schools last year, within the State of Kentucky, which were not provided with, teachers, and consequently, were not kept during that scholastic- period. This is not as it should be. The State College has for yearsl been doing what it could to* maintain a normal school of reputable character and proportions. It has done the best it 1 could with the means at its disposal, but we are painfully conscious of the fact that the results have not been commensurate with our wishes. With an independent building, and a larger educational staff, we could have benefited the Commonweal tli to a larger extent. Within the last twenty-five years the assessed valuation of Kentucky has more than doubled. The facilities for the instruction and training of teachers has not, within the Commonwealth, kept pace with the correspond- ing growth in wealth and in population. It now seemsl to me to bej sn opportune time to redress this balance and to make application 16 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. to the incoming General Assembly to make a liberal appropriation for the erection and equipment of suitable buildings whereby this work so auspiciously begun, may be carried on upon a much larger scale than we have been able to do heretofore. The general intelli- gence of the people* depends upon the efficiency of the common schools. The efficiency of the common schools depends upon the education of the teacher ; this latter element it belongs to the State College to supply. Let it be understood that the State College does not stand in the way of a liberal provision for schools for the education of teach- ers elsewhere. To these it would ever be ready to give a helping hand, but the school for training teachers, or the normal school, as it is gen- erally called, in connection with the State College, is eo-eval with its re-organization, and should be maintained and supported witli a liberal hand. Give us the means by which to educate teachers and to make education effective, and we will be able to do a work for the public at large out of all proportion to what we have hitherto done, beneficent though it has been. DEVELOPMENT. The growth of the college from year to year is shown in the fol- lowing summary : 1862. To establish and endow a college, chiefly for instruction in agriculture and the mechanic arts, an act: of Congress apportioned to each State, for each of its senators, and its representatives in Congress, 30,000 acres of its public land. 1 I860. The General Assembly of Kentucky, having accepted the State’s portion under the conditions > prescribed, established the Agri- cultural and Mechanical College, making it one of the colleges of Kentucky University, then recently united with Transylvania Uni- versity and located at Lexington, citizens of Lexington anidl its vicini- ty donating 1130,000 to authorize the commission of the curators of the university to buy a site for the college. The General Assembly having authorized the commissioners of the sinking fundi to sell the 330,000 acres apportioned to Kentucky, by the mismanagement of the commissioners’ agent the State realized for its land only $165,000. 1866. The college opened with a president, four professors and a commandant. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. IT 1878. Dissatisfied with the management of the college by the cura- tors of Kentucky University, who were engaged in a long factional strife, the General Assembly severed the connection with the univer- sity, and called a commission to re-locate the college, to provide for its continuance in operation till re-located, and to prepare “a plan for a first-class university.” Kentucky University claiming and retain- ing the former site. of the college, the sole property left the latter after the severance was an income of $9,900 derived from the land grant. 1880. The city of Lexington offering the city park of fiftyttwo acres as a new site for the college, and also $30,000 in bonds, and the county of Fayette offering $20,000 besides, the General Assem- bly ratified the selection of a site made by a majority of the commis- sion and! located the college permanently in Lexington. 1880. To provide teachers for the common schools', of the State and for other schools, the General Assembly added to the college} a normal department which should admit, besides other students, one from each representative district every year free of tuition. 1880. Further to endow the college and to enable it to purchase apparatus, machinery, implements and a library; to maintain the normal department, and to defray other necessary expenses, the General Assembly imposed a tax of one-half cent on each one hun- dred dollars of the assessed value of all property in the State liable to taxation for State revenue and belonging to its white inhabitants. 1880. The classical and normal departments and the academy added. 1882. The college building, the first dormitory aind the president’s house completed. 1885. The commandant’s house re-constructed. 1887. To enlarge by experiments and to diffuse the knowledge of agriculture, an act of Congress established, under the direction of the Agricultural and Mechanical college in each State, an Agricul- tural Experiment Station, appropriating for its support $15,000 per annum. DORMITORY FOR YOUNG WOMEN. The Legislatures of 1900 and 1902 made appropriations amount- ing to $60,000 for the erection and equipment of a college homo for young women. The act required that it should not be built 18 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. on the college grounds where the other college buildings stand, but upon ground altogether outside of the college premises. The Pepper property, after long and tedious negotiations, was ait length secured, for which $10,500 was paid in cash. The property wajs liable for unpaid taxes amounting to $1,260. The trustees refused to pay them and the negotiations were in danger of falling through when the president of the college and his brother, W. K. Patterson, assumed the obligation and bound themselve in writing to the board of trustees to hold the college harmless as regards) these liens. After the purchase, plans and 1 specifications were proposed 1 and the contract let for the building with accommodations for 120 young women. It has a front of one hundred and fifty feiet with tw ; Q projecting wings. There are hath rooms and water 1 closets on eneryj floor, electric and gas lighting arrangements in all the rooms and halls; laundry room, dining room and hall for physical culture are all large and equal to the requirements of the college home. The lot is a beautiful one, situated within half a mile of the court house and contains three acres of ground). The front is 210 feel and the depth 600 feet. Ample shade trees and a fine elevation make it one of the handsomest sites in Lexington. There are some lots intervening between the college home! and Winslow street which bounds the college campus on the north, which the college should own. The time is not far distant when all the build- ing space on the college grounds will be exhausted and sites for the additional buildings which the college will require will, he difficult to obtain. The possession of these intervening lots would provide additional building sites and by connecting the recently purchased site with the college campus would give continuity to the whole. We think that an appropriation hv the Legislature for this purpose would be both wise and economic. The college home, to which the name of “Patterson Hall” was given by the building committee, is now completed 1 ami ready for occupancy and will supply a want long felt by both the college and the Com- monwealth. 1887. The department of civil engineering established, an experi- mental farm of forty acres purchased and the college green-house built. 1889. The Experiment Station building completed. 1890. The second dormitory completed. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 19 1890. For “the more complete endowment 7 ’ of Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, an act of Congress appropriated to each State $15,000 per annum for the year ending June 30, 1890, and the same sum with an increase of $1,000 per annum for ten years, after which the maximum of $25,000 should continue without change. Of the amount thus annually appropriated, the college receives 85 per cent, and the school for colored people at Frankfort 15 per cent. 1891. The department of mechanical engineering established. 1892. The mechanical building and work-shops completed, 1891. Green-houses for the Experiment Station built. 1895. The annex to the mechanical building and the insectarium for the Station built. 1897. The department of electrical engineering established. Ad- ditions made to the green-houses and insectarium. 1898. The building for natural science completed. 1898. Sixty -four and a half acres added to the Experimental Farm, making 113 in all. 1900. Sixty thousand dollars appropriated by the General As- sembly, for a dormitory for young women, for a gymnasium, the drill hall, and a hall for the Y. M. C. A. 1901. Ninety acres added to the Experimental Farm 1 , making 203 in all. The building erected containing the gymnasium, the drill hall, and the hall for the societies, and Y. M. O. A. 1903. College home for young women built by an appropriation of $60,000 made by the Legislatures of 1900 and 1902. Increase iri property. — The property of the college is estimated to be worth $600,000 more than it w T as in 1880. Increase of teachers. — Before 1880 the college had six profess- ors; it now has sixteen professors and 1 twenty-three assistants. Increase of courses. — Before 1880 the college offered a single course of study leading to a degree; it now offers thirteen. Increase of students. — The number enrolled during the session of 1898-99 was about 480, considerably the largest! till then in the history of the college; last session the nuipber was 503; thlsl ses- sion it is 614. Increase of graduates. — No fact more distinctly marks the growth of ' the college than the increase in the number of its graduates. More ' students were graduated 1 in 1902 than were graduated in the first twenty-five years, and the number of those graduated during the last five years is greater than that of the first thirty. 20 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. The benefit which it has conferred upon the Commonwealth by the education of her sons and daughters can not be computed. From comparatively small beginnings it has grown far beyond' the most sianguine expectations of its founders. During this period its professors and instructors — those engaged in teaching and those oc- cupied in investigation — have increased eightfold; its courses) of study in like proportion. Meanwhile it has added laboratories, museums and workshops for the illustration and application of science; provided additional buildtngis and extended its sphere of operation, theoretical and prac- tical, in manifold directions. Its Experiment Station organized for the benefit of the farmers, with its farm of over two hundred acres; its fine herd of Jerseys ; 1 its department of animal husbandry; its experiments in cereals, grasses, fruits, hemp and tobacco (the results of which are published for gratuitous distribution among agriculturists, horticulturists and fruit growers of the State) is the best south of the Ohio river. The same is true of its laboratories and museums — chemical, phy- sical, botanical, geological, minera, logical, anatomical, biological, entomological, mechanical, electrical, civil and mining engineering. Its engineering courses, measured by their systems of instruction and their results, are equal to those of any technical school in the United States. Graduates in engineering, in science, in classics, in pedagogy, are in such demand that more than twice the number of alumni, each year, could be placed at once in positions honorable and remunera- tive. The State College of Kentucky is now well abreast of the other land-grant colleges, easily first south of the Ohio river and in many respects equal to the best in the Northwest, although its income and building accommodations are far behind those of the great States north and w T est of us. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Iowa have provided buildings for their respective institutions at a cost far surpassing ours and supplied annual income from three to six-fold greater than that at our com- mand. By adequate support our engineering courses of study will supply a large percentage of the trained engineers required in the South; and our scientific courses of study will supply a like proportion of scientific experts in the application of science to the industrial arts. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 21 Now is a rare opportunity for Kentucky to take the lead in the South and West and to maintain it. The authorities of the State College bring these facts before you with pardonable pride. Its growth within the last twenty-two years surpasses that of any other institution in Kentucky. But this we hope is only the beginning of greater things yet to be. If, however, it is to expand in the future as it has grown in the past, the State, realizing its necessities and its opportunities, must foster and sus- tain it with no niggardly hand. Income has not kept pace with expansion and with its ever-growing necessities. The income from the federal government accruing from the proceeds of the sale of lands donated by Congress in 1862 and from the appropriation made under the Morrill Act of 1890 is divided, 14 y 2 per cent, being given to the colored normal school in Frankfort. In most of the other States of the Union these incomes in their entirety are given to the colleges and universities organized under the law of 1862. Our income is thus diminished to the extent of $5,060.50 each year. Moreover, the income of the college from the one-half cent tax im- posed in 1880 is quite inelastic and has stood at practically the same figure for several years past. Matriculates increase in numbers every year, classes grow propor- tionately, new courses of study are added to meet the needs of the public; but the income of the college is practically at a stand-still. A largely increased attendance of young women in consequence of the completion of the college hall for boarding and lodging young women (for the erection of which the State appropriated $60,000) w T ill swell our numbers beyond all precedent and emphasize the ne- cessity for more and ampler accommodations. You will readily see that unless the educational interests of the State as represented in the State college are provided with additional means for expan- sion and maintenance, the progress qnd growth of the institution must be cut short, must come to a stand still, must, as compared with other State colleges, relatively decline. To cease to go forward is to go back. No State institution in all the Union has had a steadier and a healthier growth. No college has graduated abler men and women. If the progress of which we are all so proud is to continue we must have more means and the Commonwealth is our only source of supply. The college will ask the Legislature, of which you will be a member, for money for the erection of additional and much-needed buildings. It will also ask 22 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. for a substantial addition to its income in order that it may be able to meet growing expenditure. The State college is the child of the Commonwealth; it appeals to your protection; to your intelligence; to your interests, and to your pride to sustain it with no niggardly hand. The State is rich in actual resources; richer far in potential re- sources which the State College is a potent factor in developing. The State, moreover, is now quite free from debt; the movement seems auspicious for the exercise of a generous liberality to enable your college to grow and expand and become a still greater power for good in Kentucky. To you it appeals ; to you it stretches forth its hands. Make it all it ought to be, and this and future genera- tions will accord to you your meed of honor. NECESSITIES. 1. An appropriation for the extension and further equipment of the department of mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. 2. An appropriation for the erection and equipment of a building for mining engineering and physics. 3. An appropriation for the erection and equipment of a building for the use of the normal department and the academy. 4. An appropriation for the erection and equipment of an agri- cultural building. We have now sketched the history of the college, and in the fol- lowing section have presented its organization by departments and courses of study. Reports of departments appended and made a part of this report show the work done in kind and in degree. We have exhibited its marvelous growth and development; how setting out from small beginnings it has grown to its present proportions. We have shown that it must advance pari passu with its sister col- leges and universities; that to stand still is to lose ground and be left like the moraine of a glacier while the mighty mass moves silently and resistlessly on. We have shown what other States are doing and that even with our meagre resources none of them turn out better men than we. We have called attention to the teeming resources and boundless wealth of Kentucky awaiting the engineer to make them available, and finally we appeal to your honor and good faith pledged to the general government, to your State pride, to your intelligent self- STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 23 interest to maintain and sustain your State college in a spirit worthy your traditions, worthy your history, worthy the sires from whose loins you came. We build, our descendants will inhabit; we plant, they will reap; let us remember our lineage and praise the fathers who begat us by doing their work as they would do. Let us foster and maintain a great institution whose beacon light will be seen from afar over hill and valley and plain, east and west, north and south, throughout all this broad land of ours.

An applicant for admission to a class in the College who presents from the Principal or Superintendent of an accredited school a certificate that he has duly completed the courses of study prescribed for admission to that class will receive from the President of the College a permit entitling him to admission thereto without further examination. The list of accredited schools is given elsewhere in this catalogue. III. ADMISSION FROM THE COLLECrE ACADEMY. A student who presents from the Principal of the Academy a certificate that he has properly completed either course of study set forth in the curriculum o T the Academy will be admitted to the Freshman Class of the corresponding course in the College without further examination. IV. ADMISSION FROM A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY. An applicant for admission who has been a student of another college or of a university of respectable standing, upon presenting a certificate of his honor- able dismission therefrom, may be admitted ad eundem gradum in this Col- lege, provided that he shall satisfy the appropriate profeslsors that he has duly completed a course of study equivalent to that completed by the class which he proposes to enter. V. ADMISSION AS SPECIAL STUDENT. A graduate of another college or of a university may enter this College at any age in order to pursue a special line of work and study, but all Others must be at least twenty-four years of age, the limit below which appointments of beneficiaries under the law must be made. VI. ADMISSION FROM THE NORMAL SCHOOL. Although the Academy is the recognized preparatory school for all courses of study in the College, credit is given nevertheless to students who have, completed any subject in the Normal School, for the amount of work done and certified by the Principal of the Normal School or his chief assistant. To the extent of such certified credits students from the Normal Department will be admitted without examination to the Freshman Class. On all other subjects required for admission in accordance with the conditions set forth on pages 13, 14, 15, they must pass examination. The Board of Trustees has authorized the appointment of a Board of Exam- iners, by whom all applicants for admission shall be examined. Students who bring certificates of graduation from accredited schools shall STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 35 present them to this Board, who will pass the students in the subjects covered by certificate, without further examination. On all other subjects they shall be examined for admission and classification. Honor pupils, one from each accredited school, shall be admitted without payment of fees. All others from accredited schools shall pay full fees. Applicants for admission to the Academy or the Normal School shall be* examined on all branches embraced in the Common School course as required by law, and no one who has not passed actual examination shall be admitted to either. Students who desire to pass from the Normal School or the Academy into the College shall be admitted on identical conditions, as set forth on pagesr 32 and 33. Patterson Hall. This Hall, a home for the young women of the College, is a large and handsome three-story structure of about a hundred and fifty feet front, built on a fine site of more than three acres lying along the electric railway on South Limestone street. Within a quarter of a mile of the College on the south, a half mile of the Court House, the Phoenix Hotel and the Post-office} on the north, and distant not more than ten minutes by rail from the principal churches of the city, Patterson Hall is, for all purposes, admirably located. The building is heated by steam, lighted by gas and electricity, and supplied with the purest of water. It has a roomy front porch of 12 by 70 feet, wide halls, a closet in every bed room, and thirteen bath rooms. With walks, drives and numerous old forest trees, the spacious front lawn is an inviting place for exercise, for which ample provision has also been made on the extensive grounds with a tennis court in the rear, as well as in the large gymnasium. Sixty-two commodious and well-furnished rooms afford accommodation for a hundred and twenty-four occupants, for whom the careful and judicious matron will provide lodging free, and excellent beard for $3 a week, the in- mates furnishing their own napkins and towels, and their own bedding, except mattresses and pillows, and paying their laundry bills. Built durably of sitone, brick, wood and iron, and made practically fire- proof, at a cost of $60,000, with adequate provision for heat, light, ventilation, bathing and exercise, this Hall offers all the comforts and conveniences of a well-appointed home. County appointees are first supplied with rooms, and these, by act of the Legislature, are assigned by lot. Probably no educational institution in the South affords a more attractive home for young women; and those who are favored with a county appoint- ment, the mode of obtaining which is set forth elsewhere in this catalogue, will find that residence at the State College is brought within the means of any young woman who earnestly desires to fit herself for a life of usefulness. 36 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Departments . The studies of the State College are distributed into eighteen Departments, each in charge of a responsible head, the heads constituting the Faculty. Arranged in chronological order, the Departments are: I. History, Political Economy, and Metaphysics. II. Botany, Horticulture, and Agriculture. III. The English Language and Literature. IV. Military Science. V. Chemistry. VI. Mathematics and Astronomy. VII. Modern Languages. VIII. Green and Latin. IX. The Academy. X. Pedagogy, or the Normal School. XI. Civil Engineering. XII. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. XIII. Anatomy and Physiology. XIV. Geology. XV. Zoology. XVI. Physics. XVII. Entomology. XVIII. Mining Engineering. Courses of Study. 1. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, POLITICAL ECONOMY, A ND METAPHYSICS . PRESIDENT PATTERSON. The course of instruction in this Department includes an outline of Ancient. Medieval, and Modern History. Attention is given to the various forms of government, their characteristic features andl points of difference; to the progress of civilization, the origin and development of parliamentary govern- ment, the rights and duties of citizenship. In the period covered, Modern History and the History of England and of the United States occupy the most prominent place. Walker’s Science of Wealth is made the basis of instruction in Political Economy. Students are, however, made familiar with the principles upon which rest the rival doctrines of Protection and Free Trade. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 37 The Study of Mental and Moral Philosophy extends through one year. Sir William Hamilton is used as the basis of instruction in Metaphysics, and Mackenzie in Ethics. Concurrently with recitations from these authorities, the pupil is made familiar with the principles upon which rival systems of philoso- phy and morals are based, and the arguments by which they are maintained. Ancient and modern systems are thus brought under review, and the necessary data furnished upon which to ground intelligent opinions. II. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE , HORTICULTURE , AND BOTANY. PROFESSOR MATHEWS. This Department occupies rooms on the first floor of the Natural Science Building, including a general laboratory, a lecture room and advanced labora- tory, and an instructor’s office. Each laboratory is suitably furnished with tables, water and gas fixtures, charts, etc., and the lecture room with opera chairs, a sltereopticon, etc. The further equipment, both for elementary work and for the use of advanceid students, is new and of the best quality, and includes an ample supply of com- pound and dissecting microscopes for the individual use of each student, several fiTst-clasis microtomes, ovens and sterilizing apparatus, together with delicate balances and other apparatus for the study of plant physiology. Among ether facilities for study, the Department possesses ai greenhouse (85x20 feet), giving an opportunity for the continuous study of living plants throughout the winter months, and for experiment work in plant physiology. The herbarium contains a nearly complete representation of the flora of Kentucky, with a considerable number of foreign exchanges. It is due primari- ly to the efforts of the late Dr. Robert Peter, who made a, quite extensive collection of Kentucky plants about sixty years ago, and also exchanged speci- mens with the prominent botanists of that day, thus forming the nucleus of the present collection, which therefore possesses considerable historic value. Constant additions are now being made to the herbarium by collecting ex- cursions over the State and by exchanges with other institutions. The Department Library is receiving constant accessions of carefully se- lected books, and already contains the most important botanical and horticul- tural works of reference, and these, as well as the best current literature upon these subjects, are available to students during college hours. For the study of horticulture and agriculture, many of the appliances, al- ready mentioned are again utilized, and in addition to the complete equipment of the Experiment Station incidentally afford superior opportunities for the instruction of students. The Horticultural Department of the Station has an excellent forcing and greenhouse plant upon the College grounds, consisting of four glass houses of the most approved methods of construction, containing 4,000 square feet of glass, in addition to hot-beds and cold frames outside. These houses are run to their full capacity through the winter months in the conduct of experiments 38 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. upon the culture of lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, cauliflower and other vegetables, and upon the various methods of plant propagation. The extensive list of varieties of vegetables and fruits growing upon the Experiment Farm gives an opportunity for a comparative study of varieties rarely, if ever, found upon the ordinary farm. The College campus contains a large number of ornamental trees and shrubs, and numerous varieties of annual and perennial flowering plants, and with other public grounds in Lexington affords ample facilities for the study of ornamental and landscape horticulture. In the distinctively agricultural studies the operations of the farm depart- ment of the Experiment Station furnish an excellent opportunity for the study of the effects of various fertilizers, varieties of whe|at, corn, and other 1 field crops, and the many problems of dairying. In order to give special attention to dairy experiments, a building has been erected upon the Station Farm and fully equipped with the most modern appli- ances for the care of milk and the manufacture of butter and cheese. All these facilities for the experiment work of the Station, while primarily designed for that purpose, can not fail to be of the greatest value as; object lessons in connection with the studies of pupils in agriculture. The general subjects comprised within the scope of this department are subdivided as follows: I. ELEMENTARY BOTANY. Required of all students of the Scientific, Normal, and Agricultural courses who have not completed a corresponding course in some preparatory school. Spring Term — This coarse consists of a study of the elements of struc- tural botany and .plant physiology, with determination of a number of species of the flowering plants. It corresponds to the work done in most of the high schools in the State, and, if satisfactory evidence is presented, by exam- ination or otherwise, that such a course has been completed before entering the College, the student will be admitted directly to the general botany of the Sophomore Class. Text-books and Books of Reference: Gray’s Lessons and Manual of Botany; Bailey’s Lessons with Plants; Bergen’s Elements of Botany. II. GENERAL BOTANY. Required of all Sophomores in the Scientific, Normal, and Agricultural courses. Fall and Winter Terms — The work of the course comprises a gen- eral survey of the morphology and physiology of plants, and is designed to give the student who goes no further with the subject a comprehensive view of the entire vegetable kingdom, while for the student who will con- tinue his botanical study it is intended to afford a substantial basis for more exhaustive special studies. While it is accompanied with lectures and reci- tations, the laboratory method is the form of instruction principally used. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 39 and from the very beginning of his work the pupil is directed to the study of plants themselves, using the text-book as an aid to correct his mistakes and to enlarge his field of view. He is early instructed in the use of the compound and dissecting microscopes, and with their aid he begins in the Fall term the study of the simplest forms of the vegetable kingdom. Text-books: Coulter’s Plant Structure, supplemented by directions in the lab- oratory and by numerous standard works of reference. III. SYSTEMATIC BOTANY. Required of Sophomores who elect Geology, Zoology, Anatomy and Phy- siology, Botany, or Agriculture as a major study. Spring Term — The principal feature of this course is the taxonomy and classification of the ferns and flowering plants, with special reference to those groups which are of economic importance. IV. PLANT HISTOLOGY AND ECONOMIC BOTANY. Required of Juniors who elect Botany or Agriculture as major study. Fall Term — In Economic Botany, which is assigned for Tuesdays and Thursdays, a thorough study is made of selected families of plants, with regard to their characteristics, distribution, habitat, economic importance, etc. In Histology the student is given instruction and training in collodion, paraffin, and other methods of preparing vegetable tissues for microscopic study, accompanied and followed by a study of the slides so prepared. Text-book: Chamberlain’s Methods in Plant Histology. V. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY. Required of Juniors who elect Botany or Agriculture. Spring Term — The course is conducted by lectures and laboratory ex- periments, which aim to bring to the student a clear conception of the main facts and principles of plant physiology, and naturally supplements the histological studies of the Fall Term. To a considerable extent the laboratory experiments are carried on in the College greenhouses. Text-books: The laboratory manuals of Ganong and Macdougal. VI. THESIS. The first term of the Senior year is devoted to the study of some special subject, selected with reference to the taste and abilities of the students, as a preliminary to the preparation, during the winter and spring terms, of a thesis for graduation. 40 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. VII. HORTICULTURE. Required in the Agricultural Course. The work in this subject begins in January of the Junior year and extends through two terms. The time allotted to the subject is divided between lectures, recitations, and actual practice in horticultural operations, special prominence being given to the latter feature of the course. In the lectures are discussed the principles underlying horticultural practices; the propagation of plants; the physiological consideration upon which are based the operations of budding, grafting, pruning, training, etc.; greenhouses, their construction, heating, and management; and vegetable, fruit, and landscape gardening. In connection with the lectures, the work in the greenhouses and upon the college and experimental grounds is freely used for illustrative purposes, and occasional visits are made to the green- houses, nurseries, market and fruit gardens in or near Lexington. In the practical part of his studies the pupil is not only taught the best methods of doing his work, but is encouraged to seek for the principles that make such methods best. He performs for himself the various operations of seed testing and seed sowing; propagation by cutting, layering, division, etc.; budding, grafting, crossing, hybridizing, and other forms of horticul- tural practice. In order to make this work of the highest value to the student, he is required throughout the course to make accurate observations and careful notes upon his progress, and upon the results of these processes. VIII. GENERAL AGRICULTURE. Required of Juniors in the Agricultural Course. The subject is taught by means of lectures and text-books, accompanied by practical and illustrative exercises when the subject and weather will permit. The course as presented here is divided into two general heads. *8oils and Field Crops, and the instruction is given mainly by Prof. J. N. Harper, of the Agricultural Experiment Station. The lectures on soils include a discussion of the physical properties of soils and their improvement by cultivation, fertilization, etc.; the relation of soils to heat, air and moisture; soil water, its movement through different kinds of soils; the influence of humus, the conservation of soil moisture, and drainage. In the general subject of Field Crops, lectures are given upon the his- tory, production, cultivation, fertilizers, rotations, varieties and harvesting of Kentucky farm crops, particularly tobacco, wheat, corn, and hemp. *For the year 1903-4 the instruction on this subject was supplemented by a special course of lectures, with laboratory and field demonstrations, continued through the month of January, by Mr. Clarence W. Dorsey, of the Bureau of Soils, U. S. Department of Agriculture, under special appointment of the Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 41 IX. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. The instruction under this general subject is given in the form of lec- tures, demonstrations, and practical laboratory exercises, by Prof. D. W. May, of the Experiment Station. It includes a study of the principles of stock feeding, stock judging, breeds of live stock, and the operations of the dairy. In each of these subdivisions ihe lectures are supplemented as far as possible by practical work upon the part of the student. For the study of stock breeding, and kindred subjects, the location of the College is exceptionally favorable, situated as it is in the center of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, with its numerous herds of high-bred horses, to which occasional visits are made as opportunity offers. The live stock upon the Experiment. Station farm, together with the various experiments in progress in feeding, dairying and in other directions, affords facilities for illustrative purposes. THE COURSE OF AGRICULTURE. The distinctive feature of this course is the instruction in those branches of study which bear the most direct and practical relation to agricultural pursuits. It includes as subjects of primary importance the study of Gen- eral and Agricultural Chemistry, General Zoology and Entomology, Botany, Horticulture, Geology, and General Agriculture. In addition to these subjects, the student devotes considerable time to the work of other departments, including a year in English and Mathemat- ics, courses in Drawing, French, and German, Physiology, Physics and Political Economy. To meet the needs of young men who for any reason can not hope to complete a four years’ course in Agriculture, a special course of two years has been arranged. This course includes all of the more distinctively agricultural subjects of the full course, but does not lead to a degree. A certificate of proficiency will, however, be issued to those students who complete the studies of the entire course in a satisfactory manner. The schedule of studies for this course will be found on another page. (See “Schedule of Studies.”) THE SHORT (WINTER) COURSE IN AGRICULTURE. In this course an opportunity has been provided for young men who desire to excel in their chosen occupation of farming to secure an element- ary knowledge of those scientific principles which lie at the foundation of all success in agriculture. In order that such a course of study may not interfere with the work of the busy season upon Kentucky farms, it begins in January, immediately after the Christmas recess, and continues for ten weeks. Its aim is to give to ambitious young farmers accurate and practical information on such important topics as manures and commercial fertilizers; agricultural chemistry; soils and their origin; plant life on the farm; vege- 42 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. table and fruit growing; diseases of plants; injurious insects; the principles- of veterinary science, and the treatment of the simpler ailments of farm animals; care and feeding of live stock; the dairy cow; milk and the manu- facture of butter and cheese. In such subjects as will permit it, actual practice will be given in the manipulation of materials and Appliances of study, such as the care of milk, practical butter-making, spraying plants for injurious insects and diseases^ and in horticulture the practices of seed-sowing, pruning and training, grafting, etc. This course affords to young men on farms, whose time and means are limited, an opportunity to utilize the winter months to the highest possible advantages by fitting themselves more thoroughly for their life-work. No examinations are required for admission to this course, the only requirements being that the applicant must be of good moral character, must have had a good common school education, and be at least sixteen years of age, or preferably somewhat older, to profit fully by this course. To residents of Kentucky, instruction in this course will be free, the only expense being the cost of a few books and other necessary incidentals, together with board and room and other personal expenses. Board and a room can be secured at prices varying at from three to five dollars per week, so that the total expenses of a student during his entire ten weeks’ stay need not exceed from thirty-five to fifty dollars. Further information regarding this course may be obtained by addressing Pres- ident Patterson or Professor Mathews, at the College. III. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH. PROFESSOR MACKENZIE. The course in the English language and literature is perhaps as thorough and comprehensive as the financial limitations of the College will permit. The training is of such a nature as to promote individuality, and to this end occasional work is done in journalism, short-story writing, etc. . For the pioneer, few fields seem so fascinating as that which Posnett calls Compara- tive Literature. Literary criticism is but a branch of anthropology, and in attempting to trace the evolution of literature several laws are tentatively formulated. Possibly in the class lectures the booklover may find some suggestions new enough and true enough to quicken both reason and imag- ination. The Carnegie Institution was intended to be an impartial friend of all studies that tend to interpret nature to man and man to himself, but as at present organized no grant is to be made for original research in art, litera- ture or philology. Philology is a science that gives opportunities for further research, though there is no occasion to impair breadth of vision by excess- ive application to the microscope. Paul, Brugmann and Wundt are consid- ered with some discrimination. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 43 FRESHMAN YEAR. First Term — Literature of the Nineteenth Century, English and Ameri- can. A critical and philosophical study of some of the masters — books as interpreters of life — underlying unity of poetry and the fine arts — letter- writing, its history and mystery.' Lectures on advanced rhetoric. Second Term — Lectures on Carlyle and some of his European and Ameri- can contemporaries. As a basis for further appreciation of literature and rhetoric, one of this modern seer’s works, such as Past and Present, or Heroes and Hero-worship, is studied. Third Term — Two or more plays of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson or Gold- smith. Lectures on the Drama and its technique, both ancient and modern. Throughout the session training is given in the writing and criticism of letters and essays, which are frequent rather than long. Stress is laid upon the cultivation of a style in composition that shall be at once accurate, strong, and graceful. SOPHOMORE YEAR. English Literature of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, in alter- nate years, including the late Renaissance, Puritan, Restoration, Augustan and Georgian periods. In addition to the “gay science,” the Shakespeare- Bacon and Ossianic controversies claim attention. Lectures on the relation, of literature to art, criticism, ethics, and the sciences, in order to throw light on the solidarity and scope of literature. Theme-writing and etymology are not neglected. JUNIOR YEAR. First Term— English literary history from the Norman Conquest to Spenser. Readings in Middle English as found in the interesting and valu- able works of Thomas the Rhymer (1220-1298), Barbour, Androw of Wyn- toun, and Henry the Minstrel, all of whom are independent of Chaucer. In alternate years such medieval gems as are linked with the names of James I, Henryson, Dunbar, and Douglas (1474-1522). Second Term — Introduction to Comparative Literature. Some clues to a general theory of literary evolution from the days of primitive man. Can one principle be found that will account for the growth and decay of definite literary types — epic, dramatic, lyric— in all times and climes? Can the strictly scientific method lead to safe speculation upon the future of litera- ture? Third Term — History of the English language; lectures on the origin of the English language, its Celtic, Teutonic, and classical elements, and its inflexions, with a glance at the way in which some words are raised to the peerage while others fall into disrepute. The psychology of persuasion is explained, and a distinction is drawn between the English of the newspaper, the novel, the pulpit, the bar, and the public platform. The principles of versification are briefly illustrated. 44 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Students who elect Anglo-Saxon receive instruction in the parts of speech and in syntax, after which selections are read from Bede’s History,' King Alfred’s Translations from Boethius and Orosius, and from the verse of Beowulf. The close relationship of Anglo-Saxon to our current speech is constantly kept in view, and Grimm’s Law, with Verner’s modification, is explained. Original research and independence of thought are fostered. SENIOR YEAR. Anglo-Saxon — Advanced students take up and study with some thor oughness Cynewulf’s Christ. Lectures review the entire literature before the Conquest, and the Celtic literatures of Britain are not left in oblivion. Comparative Philology — An introduction to the scientific study of lan- guage in order to learn a few fundamental principles of: (1) Semeiology; ^2) Spoken language, including phonology and grammar; (3) Recorded lan- guage, including thought-writing, pictography, symbolic and ideographic writing. The course consists of lectures, hut requires some private collateral reading. Oriental Studies — For the special benefit of students of Comparative Philology, a course of elementary Sanskrit or elementary Hebrew' is offered. In the one case stress will be laid upon Aryan philology, and in the other upon Semitic. Electives — In the course of studies leading to the degree of A. B. (major study, English) Junior students may elect Greek or Latin, and are obliged to take at least one term of Analytical Geometry; Seniors may elect French, Astronomy, or Hebrew, or they may take all three. Prize — The works of some standard author, open for competition to all regular Junior and Senior students, are offered for the best critique of the poets of Kentucky. Senior students who take the A. B. course (major study, English) are required to write a thesis on a topic approved by the Professor of English. It must display considerable research, and be untainted by plagiarism. An original poem of at least one hundred lines in either English or Latin may be offered as an alternative. Logic . The Science of Logic; lectures on Pure Logic, in w'hich Stoichiology and Methodology are explained and illustrated; explanations and illustra- tions of the analytics of Aristotle and the New Analytic of Sir William Hamilton; exercises in Figure, Mood, and Reduction; lectures on Fallacies and Sources of Error; lectures on Inductive and Analogical Reasoning; lectures on Evidence. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 46 GRADUATE STUDY. 1. Gothic language and literature. 2. The origin and literary history of the Arthurian legends and romances. 3. Early Scottish literature, from Barbour (1375) to George Buchanan (1582), including Dunbar, Gavin Doug- las, and Lindsay, or, 4. Such a topic as may obtain the sanction of the Professor of English, any one as a minor study. Candidates for the degree of A. M. (major study, English) are advised to take Gothic and any other study they may choose from the foregoing list. Without a previous knowl- edge of Anglo-Saxon, the study of Gothic is not recommended. Gothic . — A course, especially for those who desire to know English his- torically, in the Moeso-Gothic and its phonological relations both to early Aryan and to later Gothic or Teutonic languages. Initiation into some of the mysteries of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Gothic runes, followed by a brief discussion of the 3x8 formulation of the futhark. Seminar. Old English Legal Codes . — A special course interesting alike- to the prospective law student, the philomath, and the jurist. If deemed desirable, a brief preliminary training in Anglo-Saxon syntax. IV. DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE. LIEUTENANT BUBTT. The military instruction is under the charge of an officer of the United States Army. The course as a whole has special reference to the duties of the line. A full supply of arms and ammunition is furnished by the Was- Department for the use of the cadets in this course. Every male student able to perform military duty, and not excused for sufficient cause, is required to drill twice each week and to attend the re- quired lectures and recitations throughout the Freshman and Sophomore years. The standings in study and drill are placed on record, and are requisite to graduation in every course in the College. The battalion is composed of four companies and the artillery and signal detachments. The officers are usually selected from the Junior class and the non-commissioned officers from the Sophomore class. The officers are paid a small sum for their services. The uniform prescribed is of cadet gray; coat, trimmed with black mohair braid; trousers, with black cloth stripe, cut after the army pattern. In order that all uniforms worn here may be, in quality, make and finish, in strict accordance with the specifications adopted by the College, all stu- dents enrolled in the military department are required to obtain them from the firm only that may for the time being, be under agreement to furnistt said uniforms at a stated price and of standard quality. 46 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. THEORETICAL INSTRUCTION FOR ALL MALE STUDENTS. Infantry drill regulations, U. S. Army. Firing regulations. Manual of guard duty. Army regulations. Lectures on the organization and administration of the United States Army, and the general principles in the art of war. Freshman and Sopho- more years, one hour per week. PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION FOR MALE STUDENTS. Infantry . — School of the soldier, squad, company, and battalion; cere- monies; guard duty; minor tactics. Artillery . — School of the cannoneer, and battery, dismounted; ceremonies; guard duty. Freshman and Sopohomore years, two hours per week. THEORETICAL INSTRUCTION FOR ALL OFFICERS AND SERGEANTS. Military administration; field engineering; elements of the art of war; preparation of reports and returns. Sophomore and Junior years, one hour per week. V. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY . PROFESSOR PALMER. The Chemical Department dates from the establishment of the institu- tion. For many years it was under the direction of Dr. Robert Peter, who by his labors in analytical chemistry has probably done more than any other man to develop the abundant mineral resources of the State. The Depart- ment remained in the hands of Dr. Peter until 1887, when he resigned. Dr. E. A. Yon Schweinitz was then appointed to the vacancy. He held the position during the collegiate year of 1887-1888, whereupon the present in- cumbent was appointed. For many years the chemical laboratories and lecture-room occupied the eastern part of the main College building. In September, 1880, however, the Department Station building having been •completed, the apparatus and equipment were removed from the laboratories in the Main Building to more suitable and beautiful rooms on the second floor of the Experiment Station building. The lecture-room and the labo- ratories, qualitative and quantitative, of the Chemical Department are ex- ceedingly well adapted to their purpose and are among the best constructed and most handsomely furnished of the rooms in the College. The qualitative laboratory contains three very large working tables, each of which can easily accommodate ten students. The quantitative laboratory is also well equipped with tables, hoods, water, gas, electricity, etc., and has desk room for at least fourteen students in all. The lecture-room is well lighted and heated and beautifully furnished and commodious, having a seating STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 47 capacity of about seventy-five. Besides the laboratories and lecture-room, there are several other smaller rooms on the same floor set aside for the use of the Chemical Department — an instructor’s office, a balance-room, and a store-room. APPARATUS. The Department is well supplied with the commoner forms of’ cheimical apparatus and chemicals. In addition to these it owns several of the more expensive pieces of apparatus, such as several exceedingly delicate balances for analytical work; a grand model Bunsen & Kirchoff spectroscope; pla,tinum apparatus; a complete outfit for electro-plating; vapor density apparatus; a glass model ice-machine, etc. These, of course, will be added to from time to time, as the needs of the Department demand and the resources of the insti- tution permit; as it is now, however, the equipment is such as readily to enable the student to obtain at first hand a good working knowledge of chemical science. COURSE IN CHEMISTRY. The Chemical course is one of the several scientific courses offered by the College. It was first offered in 1894 with the view of preparing the student for life work in Chemistry, and also with the view of fitting him for the) study of medicine and kindred professions. To the accomplishment of this purpose the following course of study, extending over a period of four years, has been adopted. STUDIES REQUIRED. The first year is devoted to the study of English, German, Physiology, Free-hand Drawing, and Mathematics, including Plane Geometry, Trigonom- etry, and Algebra. The second year to German, Physics, Botany, Chemistry, and Mathematics, including Solid and Analytical Geometry and Calculus. The third year to Theoretical Chemistry, English, Calculus, French, and labora- tory work on the Chemistry of the metals and on Qualitative Analysis. The fourth year to Quantitative Analysis, Organic Chemistry, Chemical Reading on advanced topics, and to Chemical Research, History and Political Economy, Logic and Mental Philosophy. For further information as to requirements, the Schedule may be con- sulted, page 73. THE TRAINING 1 IN CHEMISTRY PROPER. The study of Chemistry proper, as outlined in the above, is sufficient in its scope to bring the student into close contact with the great fundamental truths of the science and to make him enthusiastic and capable in his profession. The course in General Chemistry, extending through the second and third terms of the second year, consists of lectures and recitations five times weekly on the non-metals and their compounds and the simpler laws of chejmical 48 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. I change. The lectures are abundantly illustrated by suitable and instructive experiments; the laboratory work is carefully directed, and the student receives every possible encouragement to do excellent work. In the third year the study of Chemistry is resumed, with laboratory work and Theoretical Chemistry. The study of Theoretical Chemistry, consisting of lectures, recitations, and readings five times weekly throughout the year, is intended to acquaint the student with the greatest generalizations and theories of modern chemistry and their historical development. In this con- nection about fifty lectures are delivered annually upon the following general topics: Ten upon the Atomic Theory, its development, and the methods at present used in the determination of atomic weights; fifteen upon the Com- pounds of Carbon, Isomerism and Structural Formulas; ten upon the History of Chemistry; five upon tne Periodic Law; five upon the Spectroscope, Spec- trum Analysis, and the Chemistry of the Heavenly Bodies; five upon the more important current chemical investigations. By way of supplementing the work of the lecturer, students pursfuing this course will be required to do a certain, rather liberal, amount of general read- ing upon the matter treated of in the lectures or upon such other topics as may be assigned by the instructor. For this purpose the nucleus of a chemical library has been formed, which may be freely consulted by any or all students in the College, and the leading chemical journals or thus and other countries will be kept there on file. The broadening influences of such a course of study can scarcely be overestimated, and the students who complete; it satis- factorily will find themselves, in some measure at least, abreast of the highest and best chemical thought of our time. The laboratory work during the first term of the third year i‘s devoted to the study of the metals and their more important compounds, and to qualita- tive analysis. This work is intended to supplement the work of the first year upon the non-metals, and also to familiarize the student more fully with the commoner methods of chemical manipulation and practice. The laboratory work of the first term will be followed up during the second and third with laboratory work in quantitative analysis, by means of which the student learns the value of precise and accurate work and the constancy and definite character of chemical reactions. The chemical work of the last year will consist of such special work as the student may elect to pursue, together with the preparation of a thesis embodying the results of this special work. The object of such special arrangement is to perfect him in that particular branch of the science for which he shows a liking or a particular talent. In this connection it may be well to state that facilities are offered for special work along the following lines: Theoretical and Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Agricultural Chemistry, Physiological Chemistry, general analytical work, and special an- alytical work on fertilizers, iron and steel and fuels. CHEMISTRY REQUIRED IN OTHER COURSES. Instruction in Chemistry in other courses of study, such as the Scientific, Classical, etc., is designed to meet the special needs of the student in these several directions. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 49 In the Classical Course the study of this science extends over five months, five times weekly, and is intended simply to introduce the student to the sub- ject by the way of general education. In the Scientific Course the work extends over ten months. A portion of this time is devoted to the study of metals and qualitative analysis by means of laboratory work. In the course of Mechanical Engineering the instruction is adapted as completely as possible to the needs of students in this depart- ment. Instruction in chemistry in this course extends over a period of two terms, five months of which are devoted to the study of the non-metals and their compounds; five to the chemistry of the metals with special reference to the properties whflch render them usful to the mechanical engineer, and also with reference to their mode of occurrence in nature and the methods of ob- taining them from the ores. For students in Civil Engineering a course in Chemistry has been provided, as follows: General chemistry, one term; laboratory work on the metals, one term; quantitative analysis, one term. In the course of Mining Engineering instruction in Chemistry extends over a period of three terms, and includes the following subjects: General Chem- istry, the Chemistry of the Metals, and Quantitative Analysis. In addition, one term’s work in Metallurgy is required, and also one term’s work in Assay- ing and Metallurgical practice. For the benefit of students of Agriculture a special course in Agricultural Chemistry has been arranged, the general aim of which is to acquaint the student with the chemistry of those elements which enter into the composition of plants, and which are essential to their life and growth. A study of the composition of the soil, air, and water, and their several relations to the plant as sources of plant food, forms a large and important part of this work. Also the chemistry of tillage, irrigation, and rotation of crops, and the com- position and value of commercial fertilizers and manures. The instruction in Chemistry is also adapted as fully as possible to the needs of students in Biology. Instruction in this branch extends over two terms, five times weekly. The first half of the time is devoted to the study of Elementary Chemistry; this is followed by laboratory work in the after- noon upon those elements which are regarded as essential to living things, animal and vegetable. VI. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY. PROFESSOR WHITE, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR JOHNSON. PREPARATORY.

Two books of Thucydides; poems of Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus. SENIOR CLASS. Three dramas (Prometheus, Medea or The Clouds, Oedipus Rex or Antigone; Jebb’s Sketch of Greek Literature). The curriculum leading to the classical degree of A. B., and set forth in the Schedule on page — , includes English, Greek, Latin, French, German, History, Political Economy, Metaphysics, Mathematics, and some Physical Science. The grouping of these studies is designed to meet the needs of those students whose tastes and aptitudes incline them to literature rather than to science; who seek not knowledge alone but culture as well, and who, moreover, desire a course of studies suited to those who are to prepare . themselves for a profession, and to become teachers, preachers, physicians, lawyers, journalists, writers or scholars, or, it may be, legislators or authors. To this brief statement of the objects kept in view in making up this group of studies it is due to this Department, and not meant to be invidious, to add, that statistics published annually by the IT. S. Commissioner of Education show that, even in this country where scientific and the so-called practical studies are so strongly and so justly recommended and encouraged, that even here the classical course is from three to six times more popular than any other; while the English, the French, and the Germans, who in letters, arts, and arms rank highest in the scale of nations, devote far more attention to these studies than we. Indeed, as showing the educational trend of the most intelligent people that has ever existed, it is a fact of impressive significance that a vast Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, Thesaurus of the Latin language, and written in Latin, the product of five leading universities of the Germans, and therefore of the world, Berlin, Leipzig, Goettin- gen, Munich and Vienna, is now appearing from the press of Teubner. This magnificent and monumental work is to consist of twelve volumes quarto, each as large as Webster’s Unabridged, and to sell, when durably bound, for more than $200 a copy. No other language has had such a dictionary, and this Thesau- rus is the greatest contribution ever made to the study of that language, which to every highly civilized people is more important than any other except their own; which has formed nearly half of ours and more than half of three others, and which, therefore, can not, in any rational scheme of education, be neglected or disparaged, but must retain its place if not its primacy among the most useful studies that man can pursue. In 1903, the last year reported, there were in American colleges, universities, and technological schools, 114,130 students: In classical courses, 51,152; in other culture courses, 13,605; in general science, 7,397; in mechanical engineering, 6,800; in civil, 5,378; in electrical, 3,652; in mining, 2,244; in agriculture, 3,306; in all other courses, 3,285. The Professors of this Department offer courses of study equal to those of the best land-grant colleges, courses as long and as varied as the grade of their students and other limitations allow. In offering them they announce that their method of instruction, so far as it is distinctive, rests on the assumption that ability to write a language well is the infallible test of a real knowledge of it. Unusual attention is therefore given to Greek and Latin composition, the first 54 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. session being devoted almost entirely to the writing of exercises. This leads di- rectly to an accurate knowledge of the forms and meanings o.f words, of the rules of syntax, and of the idioms. Every student of the classes in grammar is required daily to translate on the blackboard an exercise from Greek or Latin into Eng- lish, and another from English into Greek or Latin, and then to write out de- clensions and conjugations, with careful attention to the length of syllables and to accentuation. His work is then rapidly corrected by the teacher, who, in mak- ing his corrections, supplements the lesson of the text-book with instruction on the order of the words, on synonyms, on the derivation of English words sug- gested by the words of the exercise, and on other pertinent matters. This process involves great labor for the student and drudgery for the teacher, but it leads to a mastery of the grammar and to much more. The second session is spent mostly in reading the easy Latin of Viri Romae, Nepos, and Caesar, or the easy Greek of the Reader and Xenophon, considerable attention being still directed to the writing of exercises. The student is encour- aged in the habit of first reading the sentences in the Greek or Latin order of the words, and of then translating them in the English order and idiom. The trans- lations are partly oral, partly written. During the remainder of the courses the bright and diligent student proceeds from the easier authors to the more difficult, enlarging his vocabulary, extending and sharpening his knowledge of forms, syntax, and idioms, incidentally directing his attention to metres, geography, history, mythology, and antiquities, and per- petually and supremely to the effort to find the best English expression for the Greek or Latin thought; for, while more than a third, and that too unspeakably the most difficult third, of our own magnificent language is derived from Greek and Latin, and while the study of these tongues is therefore intensely practical to those who speak English, and indispensable to all who would thoroughly ac- quire it, yet it is in the intellectual training to be had frd’m the proper translation of the Greek and Latin authors that the advocates of classical learning find their amplest justification and defense, their most cogent plea. The ceaseless quest for the clearness, force, and beauty of the best English, in order to find an equiv- alent for the best Greek or Latin, calls into play every faculty of the mind and gives to classical studies an educational value which, we insist, no substitute can equal. The Germans are admitted to be the leading educators of the world. In the nine years’ curriculum of their 443 gymnasia, which are their best secondary schools (corresponding to our colleges, but conferring no degrees and with fewer studies far better taught), they assign to the study of Greek and of Latin a higher educational value than to any otner study.* InThe 227 Prussian gymnasia, for example, Latin, by the time devoted to it, is valued at 62, Greek at 36, and math- ematics, the next highest study, at 34. In the other parts of Germany the differ- ence is greater still. In the Saxon gymnasia, Latin is valued at 72, Greek at 41, mathematics at 33; in those of Wurtemberg, Latin at 81, Greek at 40, mathematics at 33. Similarly, in the great public schools of England, including Oxford and Cambridge (with a higher estimate of mathematics, however), as well as in the Lycees, the leading secondary schools of France, the utility of the study of the Latin language as a medium of intellectual training and culture is everywhere recoghized as supreme. And the results have justified the estimate. A system of education by which a host of great men, from Bacon to Gladstone, have been *“The classical literature is, and will continue to be, the source of all our culture. It must remain, therefore, not only an indispensable but by far the most important study in our higher schools.” — Frederic Gedike. And yet the German language owes little to Greek and Latin, while the English owes to them nearly half its words. The inference of course is that the study of Greek and Latin is far more useful to an American or an Englishman than it can be to a German, for the German derives culture from the study and the American or Englishman both culture and a knowledge of his language. STATE COLLEGE OP KENTUCKY. 56 fitted for their splendid careers, is assuredly not a bad one, and in that system Greek and Latin have always held the first place. The National' Commissioner of Education reports that in the secondary schools of the United States there were, in 1889-1890, 100,144 students of Latin; in 1897- 1898, 274,293, an increase of 174 per cent., and greater than any other study; that in the same nine years the students of Greek increased from 12,869 to 24,994, an increase of 94 per cent.; and that in 1897-1898, 49.44 ; per cent., almost exactly one-half of all the students of secondary schools, were studying Latin. When the immense number of classical students in the 629 colleges and universities of the United States is added to the 300,000 and more now in our secondary schools (314,856 in 1900), it will be plain that there is no decline in the demand for class- ical learning. (1903, total classical students in schools of all grades, 413,091.) While no wise man will seek to disparage or unduly to exalt any branch of knowledge, it is not invidious to say that though the vast expansion of science during the wonderful nineteenth century has contributed enormously to the com- fort and the glory of man, yet an immense majority in the civilized nations will continue to feel more interest in man and his doings than in matter and its prop- erties, more in literature than in science, and more in the applications of science than in its principles and processes. Greek, the marvelous tongue of the most intellectual of all the races, the repository of a fine literature, in the crowded curricula of American schools, especially of coeducational schools, will, for ordinary students, naturally give place to the easier and more practical French and German. The more gifted or ambitious, who seek high scholarship and a more liberal culture, will learn Greek, and of course French and German. Nay, when a student of high spirit finds that notes to so common a work as Macaulay’s History or Buckle’s are in eight languages, he will be ashamed to skip any, and he will not be satisfied till he can read them all, including those in Greek. It is timely to add that after long and earnest debate, the proposition to sub- stitute French and German for Greek in the course for A. B. at Oxford and Cam- bridge has lately been voted down by a great majority. A needless wrangle, easy to settle once for all by giving a higher degree to those who learn all these languages and a lower to those who omit Greek. IX. The Academy is described after the Collegiate Departments. X . DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY. PROFESSOR WHITE. The Normal Department of the State College exists under the authority of acts of the General Assembly approved April 23 and April 29, 1880. Section 7 of the first act briefly defines the object for which the Department was established, “a Normal Department or course of instruction for irregular peri- ods, designed more particularly, but not exclusively, to' qualify teachers for common and other schools, shall be established in connection with the College.” The second act provides the necessary endowment to make the 1 Departmept effective. Acting under the clause above quoted from the incorporating act, the author- ities of the College have organized two distinct but closely related sub- departments of work for teachers. These are the Normal School and the Col- lege course in Pedagogy; the one designed to prepare teachers for the element- ary schools; the other for secondary schools and colleges. 56 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. In this arrangement the State College of Kentucky is unique and possesses a distinct advantage. Through the Normal School it comes into close and sympathetic touch with the masses of the teachers throughout the State, and through the college course it comes into vital contact with the more advanced teachers and the higher schools. Many students who come to the Normal School are led, as the result of what they see of the college work, to undertake an advanced course. The Normal School thus discharges a function whose value can not be overestimated, in that it introduces many of the most intelligent youths of the State to the facilities which the College can offer them. THE COLLEGE COUKSE IN PEDAGOGY. In 1893, the College authorities, in response to a strong demand for advanced instruction for teachers, organized a full collegiate course with Pedagogy as a major. This action put the State College on a par with other institutions in the North and West, for there are few State universities in those sections that do not support a department for the advanced teaching ot education. This course is co-equal in number and difficulty of subjects, in the time required for its completion, and in disciplinary and cultural value, with the other full collegiate courses. The purpose of the course is to fit young men and women for the best service as teachers in high schools, academies, and colleges. To realize this purpose the course offers, in addition to the usual amount of work in science, language and mathematics, specialized instruction in the following subjects, which give to this course its distinctive character. GENERAL PEDAGOGY. In the third term of the Sophomore year the student is given a general view of the whole field of Pedagogy through a synoptic outline of the sub- ject. The purpose is to present enough of each topic in Pedagogy to show the trend of each important question in modern education. The work is carried on both by lectures and class discussions. PSYCHOLOGY. In the first term of the Junior year, the subject of Psychology is presented, chiefly with reference to its value to the teacher. Psychology is treated as a basis of the science of education and the art of teaching. No time is spent in mere speculative discussions, but from the very first the effort is made to connect the subject vitally with the teacher’s actual work in the school. Especial attention is given to the mind’s functions in Acquiring, Assimilating, and Expressing. The value of Psychology also is shown as the basis of Methodology, and of Educational Economy. The text-book is ’‘Psychology in Education.” In the second term of the Junior year, a few more of the valuable topics in higher Psychology are taken up. The special Psychology of some of the advanced branches will be studied. The work will be library research, lectures, and class discussions. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 67 EDUCATIONAL ECONOMY. In the third term of the Junior year, the different subjects comprised under the general term “Educational Economy,” are taken up in detail. No text-book is used, but the well-stocked library of the Department is put at the service of the students, and from all available sources they are expect- ed to work up such subjects as (1) the organization and administration of the individual school, in country and city; (2) the organization and administra- tion of State and city systems of schools; (3) the course of study; (4) fa- tigue; (5) buildings and grounds; (6) control and discipline; and (7) the correlation of the school and the community. These topics are discussed with constant reference to their underlying psychological and sociological principles. This term’s work is particularly suited to those who are preparing for principalships and county or city superintendencies. METHODOLOGY. Through the first term in the Senior year the student carries the work in Methodology, all of which is based directly upon Psychology. The principles of general method, and the special methods of each school subject are thoroughly discussed, and much drill is given in the making of lesson-plans. The text-book used is “Method in Education.” THE HISTORY OF EDUCATION. The second term in the Senior year is devoted to the History of Edu- cation. It is found much the best plan to place this study last in the curriculum, because by the time it is taken up the students in Pedagogy are sufficiently familiar with the different divisions and problems of the subject to under- stand and interpret the history of educational development. The text-book used is “Seeley’s History of Education,” but in this subject the library is fully used. PROFESSIONAL READING. For a student to get the best results from the study of any subject, he should read as widely as possible in the literature of the subject. This is especially true of education, which has such a wealth of literature and touches closely so many other subjects. One term, and when possible more time, is devoted to the reading and analysis of such books as Butler’s “The Meaning of Education,” Jordan’s “The Care and Culture of Men,” Hanus' “Educational Aims and Educational Values,” Henderson’s “Education and the Larger Life,” Hinsdale’s “Jesus as a Teacher,” etc. The department library is well stocked with the best pedagogical litera- ture, and pupils are urged to make constant use of it. 58 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. OBSERVATION WORK. As much time as possible is used by the students in visiting schools in the city of Lexington and the rural districts near by. Reports upon this obser- vation of the work of experienced teachers are prepared and handed in by each pupil, and form the basis of class discussions. THESES. Each candidate for the Bachelor’s Degree in Pedagogy is required to write a thesis upon some theme assigned by the Dean. This work must be done acceptably and a copy of the thesis left with the Department. XI. DEPARTMENT of civil engineering. PROFESSOR BROOKS. The course of civil engineering is planned to acquaint the students with the knowledge of the subjects necessary to enable the civil engineer to de- velop himself into a skilled practitioner of his profession in any of its several branches. So far as is possible, the importance of each subject taught is illustrated by its application to some work similar to that which is met with in actual practice. An effort is made to render the course valu- able, not only for the professional uses, but also from an educational stand- point; therefore, while the student is learning each subject, both theoreti- cally and practically, the training of his mind as well as the needs of his profession is kept in view. In addition to the purely technical matters included in the course, provision is made for the study of English, History and Political Economy. EQUIPMENT. The Department of Civil Engineering occupies the second floor of Engineers’ Hall, which contains an office and recitation and drawing-rooms for the accommodation of classes of twenty-five students. The drawing- room is equipped with tables, boards, drawing paper, and all the larger and more expensive drawing instruments, which are at the disposal of all stu- dents. The surveying instruments belonging to this Department are of the highest grades of the various makers, and among them are included five transits — one each by Buff & Berger, Heller & Brightly, Keuffel & Esser, Mahn, and Ware; three levels by Gurley, Brandis, and Seelig & Kandler; a sextant by Gurley; a compass by Gurley; a plane-table by Keuffel & Esser; a precise pantagraph, and a solar instrument by Saegmiiller, together with level and stadia rods, tapes, and other minor accessories. The library for the use of students in engineering contains a well selected supply of stand- ard literature and periodicals pertaining especially to Civil Engineering. The technical studies in the Course of Civil Engineering fall under the heads of Drawing, Surveying, Construction. Applied Mechanics, Bridge and Machine Design, and Sanitary Engineering. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 59 LABORATORIES. Instruction is given in the Physical Laboratory during the first term of the Sophomore year, and in the Chemical Laboratory during the second term of the Junior and Senior years. DRAWING. The work in drawing is begun in the first term of the Freshman year, and consists of free-hand sketching from models, engineering structures, and from drawings, and in practice in the use of drafting instruments. In the Sophomore year the time is occupied in mapping, with exercises in topography, and special attention is given to the rapid and accurate forma- tion of Roman and other appropriate styles of letters. In the second term, four hours a week are devoted to the solution of problems in Descriptive Geometry. During the winter of the Junior year a topographic map is plotted from notes of a survey made by the class during the autumn. Such a map made by the present Junior class embraces four city blocks, a farm of about two hundred acres, and was plotted on a scale of two hundred feet to an inch. One hour a day during the second term is devoted to problems in stone-cutting. A topographic map of railroad location, with cross sections and profile, is completed in the third term, and graphic analyses of frame structures are made during the year. In the Senior year the work in draw- ing consists of problems in design and of construction details. Text-books: Church’s Descriptive Geometry; Siebert & Biggin’s Stone Cut- ting; Reinhardt’s Technique of Mechanical Drafting. SURVEYING. The course in Surveying is begun in the second term of the Sophomore year, with the study of text-books on the theory of plane surveying, supple- mented by ample practice in the solution of numerical examples. This is followed by daily field practice in the use and adjustment of surveying instruments, with exercises in leveling, determination of inaccessible dis- tances, and in farm surveys. In the first term of the Junior year a topo- graphic survey of a tract of land adjacent to the College property is made', based on a system of accurate triangulation. In the second term the theory of railroad surveying is studied, especial attention being given to spirals and other modern features of railroad practice. A line of railroad is run and cross sectioned, and an estimate made of the cost of construction. The study of Geodesy is taken up in the Senior year, embracing the theory of adjustment of a system of triangulation and the methods of determining latitude, longi- tude, and azimuth. The State College system of triangulation has been begun and will be yearly perfected and extended by the Senior classes. Text-books: -Merriman and Brooks’ Hand-book for Surveyors; Brooks’ Street Railway Location; Nagle’s Railroad Engineer’s Field Book; Merriman’s Geodetic Surveying. 60 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. CONSTRUCTION. The methods of construction are taught by lectures on limes, cements, wood, steel, and other building material; on principles of foundations on land and under water; on masonry walls and dams; on roads, railroads, and street paving; on the theory and erection of arches; on tunneling, and on the construction of high steel buildings. The lectures include descriptions and sketches of notable existing structures and short excursions will be arranged for the class as often as possible. The latest methods of conducting tests of cement, iron, steel, wood, brick and other material are practiced by each student in the well-equipped laboratory belonging to the College. Text-book: Baker’s Masonry. AFFBIED MECHANICS. The work in Applied Mechanics extends over the Junior and Senior years, and includes the theory of the strength and elasticity of beams, col- umns, and shafts; of stresses in framed structures and arches; of the theory of dynamos and steam engines and its application to pumping and hoisting machinery and to locomotives. Text-books: Merriman’s Mechanics of Materials; Unwin’s Elements of Ma- chine Design; Merriman & Jacoby’s Roofs and Bridges, Parts I and II; Barr’s Pumping Machinery; Bowser’s Analytic Mechanics. BRIDGE DESIGN. The course in Roofs and Bridges is begun in the first term of the Junior year and continues through two years. The theory of computation of stresses by both analytical and graphic methods is thoroughly taught from the text-book and numerous numerical examples. At the beginning of the Senior year, the design of bridges is begun, and the method of instruction is to proceed from the simple to the complex. The outline and details of exist- ing structures are examined, and the student becomes familiar with draft- ing-office methods by constant reference to working drawings. Text-books: Merriman & Jacoby’s Roofs and Bridges, Part III; Howe’s Roof Design. SANITARY ENGINEERING. The work in Hydraulics includes the study of the flow of water through orifices, pipes, and large channels; the theory and tests of water motors and the measurement of power. In Sanitary Engineering the course comprises the consideration of the separate and combined systems of sewerage; the methods of sewage disposal, and the collection, purification, and distribu- tion of a system of water supply. Text-books: Merriman’s Hydraulics; Ogden’s Sewerage. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 61 XII. DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL jIN® ELECTRICAL engineering. PROFESSORS ANDERSON AND FAIG, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR WILSON.

The wash-room contains lockers for one hundred students, and is sup- plied with marble basins. 62 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. The boiler-houses contain, respectively, a fifty horse-power Babcock and Wilson water-tube boiler, a Dean Bros.’ No. 3 steam pump, and a fifty-five horse-power tubular boiler, and a Davidson No. 3 steam pump. The Experimental Laboratory is the best equipped in the South, and besides being well supplied with steam engine indicators, planimeters, steam gauges, pyrometers, reducing motions, scales for measuring, micrometer,, and Vernier calipers, thermometers, calorimeters, sieves, cement samplers, scales for weighing, extensometers, water-meters, etc., it contains a thirty- five horse-power Westinghouse compound engine, a forty-horse-power Hous- ton, Stanwood & Gamble cross compound throttling engine, a twenty-five- horse-power automatic cut-off engine, a ten-horse Corliss engine, a thirty- five-horse-power Buffalo automatic cut-off engine, a ten kilo-watt Crocker- Wheel dynamo, an eight and a half kilo-watt Edison dynamo, a nine kilo- watt General Electric Company multipolar dynamo, a three and a half kilo watt electro motor, a three-fourths kilo-watt electric motor, a Bracket-cradle dynamometer, portable voltmeters, and ammeters for continuous and alter- nating currents, wattmeters, photometers, galvanometers, instruments for absolute measurements of E. M. F. resistance and current, a Wood thirty- three kilo-watt alternator, a switchboard equipped with the most modern instruments, resistance boxes, and many instruments, for refined investi- gation. The equipment for the study of Telephony is the product of the Amer- ican Electric Telephone Company. It comprises a varied assortment of subscriber apparatus for both the central energy and the local battery sys- tems, connected for operation with a small switchboard having the apparatus necessary to show the operation of a four-party selective system, as well as ihe ordinary central energy and magnet systems. The laboratory also contains a number of friction brakes, a Flather hydraulic dynamometer, a 1,000-pound United States standard cement test- ing machine, and a 100,000-pound Riehle testing machine. A double engine of fifty-horse-power and an automatic cut-off engine (Atlas) have recently been added. The equipment of the laboratory is such that many problems relative to Steam and Electrical Engineering may be discussed very comprehen- sively. COURSE OF STUDY. The training given in this course, both practical and theoretical, is intended to prepare young men for positions of responsibility and trust in mechanical engineering work. The practical work extends over a period of two years, and includes the most important principles and operations in bench-work, in wood, wood-turning, pattern-making, foundry-work, iron and steel forging, and hand and machine work in metal. The theoretical work during the first two years consists of a thorough training in English, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Drawing, and during the last two years the fundamental principles of boiler, machine, dynamo, and engine designs are taken up. By a careful solution of practi- STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 63 cal problems, the student becomes familiar with the process carried on by the operators and designers of successful machine-building plants. The course in Mechanical Engineering involves three separate lines of work : 1. Mechanical Engineering , the object of which is to give that train- ing necessary to fit men to be operators and designers of steam machinery and manufacturing plants. 2. Chemical Engineering , intended especially to give the knowledge requisite for the successful operation of iron and steel plants and the analy- sis of iron, steel, coals, and refractory substances. 3. Electrical Engineering, in which the theory, design, building, and operation of dynamos and motors are predominant. Particular attention is paid to the construction of power and lighting stations. The course of study in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, extend- ing over a period of four years, leads to the degree B. M. E. (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering). The advanced degree of Mechanical Engineer may be obtained by resident students in one year after taking the degree of B. M. E. from the State College of Kentucky or any other institution of equal requirements, they having successfully carried on the work laid down, passed a satisfactory examination, and presented an acceptable thesis. The advanced degree may also be taken in three years after obtaining the degree of B. M. E., provided the student has been engaged during the period of three years in practical engineering work, passes a satisfactory examination at the College, and presents an acceptable thesis. At least two years’ notice must be given to the Faculty that post-graduate work is done, and the work must be approved by the Faculty. FRESHMAN YEAR.

The subjects for these are assigned to students by the Dean of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Faculty, and the completed theses are kept on file with the college records, that they may serve as a reference for future investigators. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. r The special work in electrical engineering is closely associated with steam engineering and machine design, but opportunity is offered for carry- ing on research work. The thesis of any candidate for B. M. E. may be along electrical lines. The instruction is carried, on with special reference to the needs of the practical electrical engineer. This work comprises the study of Central 66 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Station design and construction, of prime movers, the design and construc- tion of electrodynamic machinery, the study of the problems involved in the distribution of electric light and the electric transmission of power, besides practice in electrical measurements, computation, and testing as applied to the construction and maintenance of electrical lighting and power plants, and to the purposes of investigation. JUNIOR AND SENIOR INSPECTION TRIP. Annual trips, for the purpose of inspecting manufacturing’ and power plants, are taken by the Junior and Senior Classes. The Juniors, for several years, have visited Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. During the last three years, the Seniors have visited Chicago and its vicinity on the annual trip. During the Spring Term, four days are set apart for the Junior trip and six for the Senior. The experiences of these trips are considered to be among the most valuable of the engineer's collegiate life. SUMMER SCHOOL OP MECHANIC ARTS. The regular curriculum in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering has no elective course. In order to provide opportunity for instruction in them, a Summer School has been established, which continues in session ten weeks. In this school instruction is given in all the subjects taught in the regular course of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, as well as in elec- tive courses of the Mechanic Arts. The Summer School is designed especially for technical students, loco- motive engineers and firemen, stationary engineers, artisans and mechanics. Special attention is paid to courses in Mechanical Drawing, Machine Design and Shop-work. XIII. DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. DR. PRYOR. The Department of Anatomy and Physiology occupies one-half of the second floor of the Natural Science Building. The space assigned to this Department includes a large lecture and general recitation-room, an office, and a laboratory. The lecture-room is provided with a Colt’s Criterion Stereopticon with a microscopic attachment. Arrangements are made to darken the room for the use of the lantern. This method of giving illustrated lectures is exten- sively used. A large number of lantern slides have been purchased or made. These include all kinds of anatomical, physiological, histological and path- ological subjects, and they have been selected in order to show not only human anatomy but sufficient comparative anatomy to illustrate the devel- opment and evolution of the organ or system. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 67 This method of instruction is quite popular with students. It affords a detail not to be obtained from models or charts or from subjects for dissec- tion. The lecture and general recitation-room is perhaps the best equipped room for its purpose to be found in any institution of the South. It is well lighted and ventilated, is provided with the best opera chairs with arm rests, affording every convenience and facility for student and lecturer. The office contains the nucleus of a library. It is the purpose of the head of this Department to provide students with the latest and best books on Anatomy, Physiology, Hygiene, Histology, and Bacteriology. The laboratory is provided with a Bausch & Lamb incubator, microh scopes, microtomes, paraffin bath, etc. Tables are provided for individual students. Each table is equipped with the apparatus necessary for experi- mental work in Physiology. Students .also have access to and use the kymograph, artificial circulation scheme (Porter’s) capillary electrometer, artificial eye (Kiihne’s). heart-holder, orgograph, rheochord, plethysmo- graph, tambour, signal magnet, etc. The Department is supplied with all kinds of models, such as an Auzoux papier-mache manikin, Auzoux’s models of the eye in full and in section, models of the ear, larynx, side of the face, hand, etc.; skeletons in full and in section; complete disarticulated skeletons for the individual use of stu- dents; a spaced skull; a Thoma-Zeiss Hsemacytometer; a Dudgeon’s and a Marey’s Sphvgmograph ; charts of all kinds, microscopes, etc. Microscopic slides are exhibited, showing the process of karyokinesis. The method of instruction is by lectures, demonstrations and recitations. Drawings are made on the blackboard in chalk by the instructor, and the student is required to copy them. They include drawings of the heart and of the great blood-vessels in colors; sections of the eye, showing the con- nection of the cornea and sclerotic coat at the origin of the ciliary muscle, one turn of the cochlea giving the organ of Corti in full; the membran- ous labyrinth; a cross section of the spinal cord; a scheme illustrating the system of neurones, central and peripheral, both motor and sensory. The student is required to take notes from lectures, to copy and pre- serve them for study and reference. The note hooks are inspected at inter- vals, correct spelling and neatness in preparing them being insisted on. All students who take the course leading to the degree of B. S. are required to attend lectures two terms of twenty weeks, five hours per week, during the Freshman year, and one term of fifteen weeks during the Sopho- more year. The same amount of work is required of candidates for the degree of B. Fed. and B. Agr. Candidates for the degree of A. B. are required to attend during the first term of the Sophomore year. Two classes for ten weeks are organized at the beginning of the second term for the benefit of Normal students who take the studies leading to the County Cer- tificate. COURSE PREPARATORY TO THE STUDY OP MEDICINE. This course, leading to the degree of B. S., with Anatomy and Physiology as the major study, is arranged to suit students who intend to enter 68 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. upon a profession, and especially those who are to devote themselves to the study of medicine. The studies of the Freshman and Sophomore years are identical with those of the other scientific courses, except that there is an additional course in Botany during the third term of the Sophomore year, and an additional course in Physics in the afternoon of that term. Students who take this course have the advantage of work in the X-rays. The principal differentiation from the other scientific courses is found in the Junior and Senior years. The first term of the Junior is devoted to the following studies: Systematic Zoology, Osteology, French, and labora- tory work in Chemistry, the second term to Organic Chemistry, Osteology, French and laboratory work in Zoology; and the third term to Physical Chemistry, Osteology, French, and Physiological Chemistry. The first term of the Senior year is devoted to French, History, Logic, Geology, and labora- tory work in Physiology; the second term to Entomology, History, Metaphysics, Physiology, and thesis work; and the third term, to Entomology, Political Economy, Moral Philosophy, Physiology, and Embryology. The Laboratory Course in Physiology — Is required of Seniors during the first term in the afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30. The work begins with the central nervous system. The first exercise begins with the study of the normal frog; its posture when at rest; its movements when in water and on solids; compensatory movements, etc. A careful dissection of the frog’s brain and drawings of it are made. Then follow experiments upon decere- brized frogs. Perfect cleanliness and aseptic surgical methods are observed as nearly as possible. Reflex action and inhibition of reflexes are studied with the pithed frog. The crayfish and earthworm are also used in the study of the central nervous system. Muscle The student must familiarize himself with the electrical appa- ratus necessary for the work that follows; nerve muscle preparations are made, the different kinds of stimuli are studied, graphic records are made with the kymograph, showing certain phenomena of muscular contraction, among them a single muscular contraction or twitch; the effect of load; repeated stimulation; summation of stimuli; superposition in tetanus, etc. Haemodynamics — The artificial scheme used, which illustrates the me- chanics of the circulation in the higher vertebrates, demonstrates arterial and venous pressure, and this is measured with mercury manometer. The scheme also shows the conversion of an intermittent stream into a continuous flow. Incompetence and stenosis of the mitral and aortic valves are demon- strated and with the thistle tube and kymograph pulse-tracings are made that compare favorably with those made with the sphygmograph by members of the class. Abnormal cases are often included. Normal Haematology Clinical examinations of the blood are made, including the enumeration of the blood corpuscles with the Thoma-Zeiss haemacytometer; the estimation of haemoglobin with Fleischl’s haemometer; the staining and fixing of blood corpuscles; the reaction and specific gravity of blood, etc. The Special Senses — The anatomy, gross and minute, of the eye and ear, and the physiology of these organs, are treated as fully as the time permits. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 69 During the year students dissect such mammals (dog, cat, and rabbit) as may be used to illustrate the lectures preceding and accompanying the practical work. Especial attention is given to the gross anatomy of the viscera, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic. Every effort is made to stimulate and maintain interest throughout the course. The students who complete the four years’ course will be credited with one year’s work at many of the Medical Colleges belonging to the American Association of Medical Colleges. Credit is also given for other work done. To a prospective student of medicine the advantages of this course can hardly be estimated. The additional training in Botany, Physics, Zoology, Osteology, Embryology, Chemistry, Physiological Chemistry, and in experi- mental and laboratory work in Physiology, places him far in advance of those who have not pursued these studies. As a prerequisite to entrance upon this course, students must have com- pleted the Classical Course of the Academy, or its equivalent. To those who are to become students of medicine, this Department offers inducements rarely enjoyed in educational institutions. Text-books: Martin’s Human Body, Stewart’s Manual, Syllabus of the Pro- fessor’s lectures. Books of Reference: Gray’s Anatomy, Gerrish’s Anatomy, Shaefer’s Physiol- ogy, Hall’s Physiology. American Text-Book, Loeb’s Physiology of the Brain. XIV , XV. DEPARTMENTS OF GEOLOGY jIN® ZOOLOGY. PROFESSOR MILLER. Geology. EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES. This Department occupies one-half of the second floor of the Natural Science Building. The Geological Laboratory is fitted up with tables and chairs and con- tains the study-collection of fossils and minerals. The Mineralogical Laboratory is arranged in its furnishings with special reference to its use as a mineral-testing laboratory. The Geological Lecture Room, furnished with folding lecture-room seats, tables, lantern stands, sliding blackboard, wall screen, and means for quickly darkening the room, is admirably adapted for recitation and lecture uses. The collections in Mineralogy and Palaeontology are arranged and class- ified with special reference to their use in class instruction. The Museum, occupying the entire third floor of the building, now con- tains the State Geological Survey Collection, a valuable addition to the instruction facilities of this Department. As additional equipment may be mentioned the Department library of geological literature, consisting of reports, both State and National, maps, charts, models, lantern slides, and photographic illustrations. 70 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. In addition to the facilities afforded by the in-door equipment, the situ* ation of the College itself happens to be peculiarly favorable from a geolog- ical standpoint. Located as it is in the center of the Bluegrass Region, at the base of the Geological Series of the State, it affords logically the best starting-point lor the student of Kentucky geology who would gain a clear comprehension of how the rock foundations of his State have been laid. Both for this reason, therefore, and because geology is pre-eminently an out- door study, the “Excursion” is made a prominent feature of the instruction in this Department. It is by the field work these excursions afford that the student’s ability to apply in-door knowledge previously acquired is put to the test, and his powers of making generalizations in the open air are exer- cised. BRANCHES OP STUDY. The general order of succession in the geological studies is as follows: (1) Palaeontology; (2) Mineralogy; (3) Advanced Geology. Besides these, in which what follows is intimately based upon what precedes, are two self- contained studies, (4) A Shorter Course in Geology and (5) Economic Geol- ogy. II. PALAEONTOLOGY. Second Term — Required of Juniors who elect as their major study Geol- ogy, Botany, Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology, or Pedagogy. Lectures on the nature 1 and zoological positions of different fossil groups are given, and the student is expected to become familiar with the fossils themselvqs by actual examination. Special attention is paid to fossils com- mon in Kentucky. The collections of the department are well suited for this purpose. The instruction is entirely by lectures and laboratory work. II. MINERALOGY. Third Term — This study follows Palaeontology, and is required of the same students, with the addition of those who elect Agriculture as their major. The object of the study is to render the students familiar with the com- position and physical characters of those common minerals and rocks likely to be met with both in course of every-day observation and in geological pursuits. The instruction involves both laboratory and text-book work. Crosby’s Tables for Determination and his Common Minerals and Rocks are the books used. III. ADVANCED GEOLOGY. First Term — Required of students who elect as their major study Geol- ogy, Botany, Zoology, or Pedagogy. Candidates for A. B. may take this or course IV. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 71 It is meant to be the culmination for those who have availed themselves of all the opportunities for the study of Geology offered in this Department. It is to be hoped that some of these students may be induced to go further, and either in their home localities or elsewhere make a beginning of doing original work. Kentucky, with its large amount of territory practically unexplored geologically, offers an especially fine field to young geologists. Text-book: Scott’s Introduction to the Study of Geology. IV. SHORTER COURSE IN GEOLOGY. First Term — For Seniors who are candidates for the degree of A. B. The only prerequisite for this course is the second term of Zoology. Text-book: Brigham’s Text-book of Geology. Second Term — Required of students w T ho elect as their major study Geology. Agriculture, Chemistry, Physics, Civil Engineering, or Mining Engineering. As the name indicates, it is the practical or inorganic rather than the. organic side of Geology that is here made prominent. Historical Geology is studied briefly and in outline. Fossils are considered important in so far as they serve to determine rocks, whereas in General and Biological Geology the reverse may be considered true. Structural Geology becomes relatively important, and Mineralogy and Lithology occupy a leading place. Some of the topics of economic importance treated are: Common Rocks and Vein- forming, Minerals; Origin of Ore Deposits; Mining Terms and Methods; Coal, Petroleum; Natural Gas and Asphal turns; Building Stone, Clay, and Cement; Geological Fertilizers; Relation of Geology to Agriculture; Rela- tion of Geology to Engineering. Text-book: Tarr’s Economic Geology, supplemented by lectures. In addition to the above, a course of about seven lectures on the Rela- tion of Geology to Agriculture is given in connection with the Short Course in Agriculture. Zoology. EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES. The Department of Zoology occupies two rooms on the first floor of the Natural History Building. These rooms are provided with tables and a special set of apparatus, including compound microscopes, for each student. Besides this, there is a complete general equipment for all lines of zoological work, such as a full set of zoological charts, imported from Germany for use in the study of systematic Zodlogy; microtomes and paraffin baths for work in microscopy; a selection of type skeletons to illustrate osteology; alcoholic specimens of both marine and inland forms to illustrate general Zoology, with duplicates for class dissections ; and finally the Department is equipped with a library of standard zoological literature, including the lead- ing periodicals devoted to the interests of biological science. Moreover, opportunities for collecting, zodlogical material, as well as for studying the habits of living animals, are afforded by the “Excursions” mentioned above. 72 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. BRANCHES OT STUDY. These are six, enumerated as follows: (1) Systematic Zoology; (2) Laboratory Zoology; (3) Osteology; (4) Embryology; (5) Physiological Psychology; (6) Economic Entomology. X. SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY. First Term— Required of students who elect as their major study Geology, Zoology, Botany, Agriculture, Chemistry, Pedagogy, Anatomy and Physiology, or Physics. A general presentation of the subject is here attempted. The practical work is limited to that which can be satisfactorily accomplished in exercises of one hour each. Alternating with lectures on the different sub-kingdoms, classes and orders of animals, accompanied with some species determination by the student, a text-book, Arthur Thompson’s Animal Life, is used to present to the class in a form suitable for discussion such interesting topics bf Biology as Interrelation of Plants and Animals, the Struggle for Exist- ence, Coloration of Animals, Social Life of Animals, Protoplasm, Origin of Life, Physiological Division of Labor, Animal Psychology, Principles of Embryology, The Past History of Animals, The Doctrine of Evolution, Heredity, Animal Life, and ours. II. LABORATORY ZOOLOGY. Second Term — Required of those who elect as their major study Zool- ogy, Geology, Botany, Pedagogy, Anatomy and Physiology, or Agriculture. The work of this term consists largely of animal dissection, and it also involves an extensive use of the compound microscope. Students are taught not only how to examine under the microscope living organisms of small size, but also to prepare these and the tissues of higher animals as perma- nent mounts for microscopical study. Laboratory Text-book,: Needham’s Zoology, furnished to each student as a part of the equipment, for the use of which a small fee is charged. Third Term — This term is devoted to laboratory work exclusively, and this consists of a thorough study of the anatomy and development of some vertebrate, as the frog. III. OSTEOLOGY. First Term — Required of students who elect as their major study Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology, or Geology. Five hours a week are given to the comparative study of the vertebrate skeleton — chiefly that of Mammalia. Text-book: Fowler’s Osteology of the Mammalia. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 73 IV. EMBRYOLOGY. Third Term — Required of Juniors who elect as their major study Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology or Agriculture. Five hours a week are assigned to this study. Instruction consists of lectures upon the general facts and principles of Embryology, accompanied by practical work on the embryonic development of such vertebrates as the frog and chick. Text-book: Balfour’s Elements of Embryology. XVI. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS. PROFESSOR PENCE. EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES. The Department of Physics occupies three rooms in the basement of the main College building. The principal lecture-room is eighteen feet by forty-four feet. The laboratory is twenty feet by twenty-four feet. The third room is twenty feet by twenty-four feet, and is used for both lecture and laboratory work. These rooms are furnished with seats, cases for appa- ratus, working tables, electricity, gas, water, and drainage. One table is on piers. There is also a dark room. The equipment of apparatus for experimental and demonstrative work is worth about 3,000. Some of the better pieces are a Geissler mercury air pump, delicate balances, a Societe Genevoise spectrometer, a Michelson interferometer, fine Wheatstone bridges and resistance sets, galvanometers, magnetometer, voltameters, voltmeters, animeters, a motor-generator with normal output of twenty amperes under twenty-five volts, a storage battery with normal output of ten amperes under twenty-five volts, a fine X-ray out- put with a fifteen-inch spark induction coil from Queen & Co. There is also a good library, which contains some of the best standard works on Physics, and some of the best current scientific literature. COURSE IN PHYSICS. The course in Physics is offered to those who may find in its schedule of studies on page — , lines of work which pursued will enable them to enter successfully on some life profession. It is intended for those whose natural tastes and abilities lead them to pursue such studies, as well as for those who wish to teach Physics, or to do other work in Physical Science. In the present highly scientific age, the greatest developments are being made in Physical Science, and those who are best able to utilize physical resources, are those who are best able to recognize physical laws and accurately inter- pret physical phenomena. The course is not strictly technical, but is broadly scientific. As seen in the schedule of studies, three years are devoted to Theoretical and 74 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Experimental Physics, three and one-half to Mathematics and Astronomy, two to English, two to German, and one each to Chemistry, Physiology, Botany, and French. One year is also given to History and Political Econ- omy, and one to Logic, Mental and Moral Philosophy. Four months are assigned to Zoology, and four to Geology. Instruction. FRESHMAN.

DEPARTMENT of ENTOMOLOGY . PROFESSOR CARMAN. Of the Experiment Station. In the Agricultural Course and in the Scientific Courses, in which Bot- any and Zoology are major studies, instruction in Entomology begins with the second term of the Senior year, students in these courses meeting the first hours of Tuesdays and Thursdays. Occasional inquiries for Entomologists to fill positions in other institu- tions have lately been received at the College, and have suggested the desirability of a special course of study in Entomology that will fit those who pursue it for the work required in Agricultural Colleges and other insti- tutions. The Scientific Course with Entomology as major study is intended to meet this want. It is estimated by our best entomologists and statisticians that we lose annually in this country from the depredations of injurious insects not less than $100,000,000. If this be so, it is highly important that a knowledge of insects and their habits should be disseminated among the people, and it is especially important in Kentucky, where the leading indus-* try is agriculture. It has been urged that a reduction of a crop to the extent of one-fourth or one-half of its value by insects should be regarded as a tax of twenty-five or fifty per cent, on its value. Such a tax is collected year after year, often without any attempt at resistance. It is the purpose of the Entomological work at- the College to place in the hands of the students "who expect to make farming their occupation such means of defense against loss as are known to those who have given the matter study. The Depart- 76 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. ment is especially well provided for in this direction, having the benefit of the work done at the Experimental Station and having access to the collec- tions, apparatus, and library accumulated for Station work. The collection now contains examples of most of the injurious insects which are found in the United States, and is constantly being enlarged. The Station is well supplied with breeding cages for use in studying the habits and life-histories of insects, so that students who wish to do so have an opportunity to observe for themselves the various stages presented by a developing insect, and may see it in many cases actually engaged in its destructive work. An insecta- rium, recently added to our facilities, gives us increased opportunity in this field of investigation. XVIII . DEPARTMENT OF MIMING ENGINEERING. PROFESSOR NORWOOD. S’tate Inspector of Mines and State Geologist. The establishment of this School was authorized by an Act of the Gen- eral Assembly, session of 1898. The course is laid out with the design of affording the student a thoroughly good foundation for professional work in Mining, Metallurgy, Assaying and Geology, and of so preparing him that lie may readily and quickly assimilate that knowledge of the details of practice which may be gained only through experience. The effort is made to acquaint the student not only with the methods of mining and mine management in particular, but to give him such instruction in mechanical and civil engineering as may satisfy the needs of the modern mining engi- neer. The schedule of studies for the first two years, while distinctive in some minor respects, upon the whole is closely similar to those followed during the second years in the Schools of Mechanical Engineering and of Civil Engineering. Actual differentiation occurs at the entrance of the Junior year. The course in mining is made £& “practical” as the limitations of col- lege instruction permit. With this in view, the equipment project for the Mining Laboratory includes the installation of such- an ore dressing and coal washing, plant as will permit work to be conducted along practical lines. It is intended that the Laboratory shall not only serve the purpose of instruction, but that it shall prove helpful, as a testing laboratory, to those engaged i^ mining operations in the coal, lead, zinc and spar districts of the State. As part of the equipment, therefore, a standard, full-sized Wil- fiey concentrating table -has been installed. A Hallett Hand Jig has also been added; and a standard three-compartment Hartz Jig has been promised by a friend of the College. Through the generosity of Mr/ John B. Atkin- son, President of the St. Bernard Mining Company, Earlington, Ky., the laboratory is provided with a complete ventilating fan and fanhouse, a Campbell coal-washer, and a complete model of the St. Bernard Mining Company’s large coal-washing plant. The fan has been so installed that STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 77 various problems relating to mine ventilation may be readily studied. The machines are operated by electric motor. In Chemistry three terms are required. In the Sophomore year the course consists of lectures and recitations on the non-metals and their com- pounds, and the simpler laws of chemical change. In the Junior year, the first term is devoted to the study of the metals and their more important compounds, and to qualitative analysis. Laboratory work in quanitative analysis is taken up in the third term. In Metallurgy two terms of work are required. The first term’s work is the same as that required in the Course of Mechanical Engineering and of Civil Engineering. Huntington and Macmillan’s text-book is used as a guide, and nine or ten metals, including iron, copper, zinc, tin, lead, nickel, cobalt, silver, and gold are studied. The work of the second term, which occurs in the Junior year, consists of practical work in the Metallurgical Laboratory, and will include assaying, together with the more comprehen- sive study of certain processes for the extraction of silver and gold, such as the amalgamation, chlorination and cyanide processes. The instruction in the special theme of Mining (including both coal and metal), which begins with the Junior year, is laid out along a continuous line, each subject being introductory to that which follows, and is given by lectures, supplemented by text-books and special reading. The Department is equipped with an excellent electric light stereopticon, and a reflectoscope, with a large number of special slides for illustrating lectures, and in addi- tion thereto many charts and “blue prints,” illustrating mining methods and mining machinery, have been procured. A general statement of the subjects discussed under the head of Mining is given under the appropriate years. The State College is exceptionally well situated with reference to the practical study of both coal and metal mining (including lead, zinc, and iron), and for the study of metallurgical practice in certain lines, there being within the State numerous coal and metal mines, and several iron and steel metallurgical establishments, within easy reach of Lexington. Prac- tical work in concentrating lead ores may be studied at the Gr.atz and the Kissinger mines, in near-by counties-. At the Gratz mine the plant includes crushers, jigs, a Huntington fnill-, and Woodbury concentrators. At the Kissinger mine the plant includes crusher, rolls, Huntington mill, Wood- bury concentrators, and a smelter. The latter mine may be reached by trolley line and a short drive. Elaborate lead and zinc concentrating plants may be studied in the western part of the State. Coal- washing and coking may be studied at Ashland, where a Robinson washer is used, and at Earlington, where a Campbell plant is in operation. The copper mines of Tennessee, the iron mines of Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee, .and the gold mining regions, of Alabama and Georgia, with their accompanying metallurgical plants, may. be reached within twenty-four hours or less of travel.

Milford White, principal. Edgar H. Crawford, Joseph William Pryor, Theodore Tolman Jones, James Franklin Sandefur, William S. Webb, assistants. Joseph Warren, Noe. 104 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. The Normal School. The Normal School prepares teachers for service in the rural schools and elementary graded schools of the State. It comprises three courses, corresponding to the three classes of certificates named in the School Law, viz.: State Diploma, State Certificate, and County Certificate. The State Diploma Course is made up of all the common school sub- jects and, in addition, Higher Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Ele- mentary Physics, Elementary Latin, and Psychology. The State Diploma is a life certificate. The State Certificate Course comprises, besides the common school branches, the advanced subjects of Higher Arithmetic, Algebra, English and American Literature, and Psychology. The State Certificate is valid for eight years, in all parts of the State, and is renewable for another eight years. The County Certificate Course is made up of the common school sub- jects in which applicants for a county certificate must be examined. Other branches will, it is now expected, be provided for in 1905, and thereafter. These branches will be Penmanship, Freehand Drawing, Vocal Music, and Nature Study. Of these, only Penmanship is required in most schools of the State; but it will not be many years until the others also will be required. In fact, Drawing, Vocal Music, and Elementary Science are now demanded in not a few graded schools. The Normal School of the State College aims not only to prepare teachers to meet the bare require- ments of the law, but to fit them also both to create and to satisfy a popular demand for the teaching of all the subjects of the best modern elementary curriculum. Capable students in either of the lower courses may, with the consent of the Dean, take advanced branches in the State Diploma Courses. General Pedagogy — Theory and Practice — constitutes a special feature of each course throughout each term of the year. This class is a purely professional one, in which all questions pertaining to the organization, man- agement, and teaching of elementary schools are fully discussed. Partici- pation in the work of this class is vital to the best success of the teacher. Forensics, a thorough training in the practice of public speaking is a special advantage offered by the Normal School. The whole school is placed in sections sufficiently small to enable each student to get the benefit that comes from frequent practice in forensics. The work is in charge of the Dean. City examinations are provided for in the several courses above named. Many city school boards in the State accept the State Certificate. In other cases, a course preparatory to a special examination can be made up out of the regular courses described in the preceding paragraphs. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 105 County Superintendents and Examiners. Although the Normal School has not heretofore had proper facilities for especially fitting County Super- intendents and County Examiners for their distinctive work, yet fifteen per cent, of the present County Superintendents in the State have been pre- pared here for their examination for eligibility, and for the more successful discharge of their official duties. Very many County Examiners have also had their preparation in the Normal School. It is intended to offer in the session of 1905-6, and thereafter, special courses for those who desire to prepare for service as County Superintend- ents. These courses will comprise, in addition to the required academic studies, special instruction in Psychology, General Pedagogy, and in School Law. Text-books: In the Professional Course the text-books are those used in the same branches in the other four years’ courses of the College. In the work in Pedagogy the books used are Roark’s Psychology in Education, Roark’s Method in Education, White’s and Baldwin’s School Management, and Seeley’s History of Education. In the County Certificate Course the books used are Dubb’s Arithme- tic, Peterman’s Civil Government, Chittenden’s Elements of English Composi- tion, Natural Advanced Geography, Holbrook’s Complete Grammar, Montgomery’s History of the United States, Kinkead’s History of Kentucky, Martin’s Human Body (smaller edition), Roberts’ Rules of Order, and Roark’s General Outline of Pedagogy. In the State Diploma and State Certificate Courses, besides these books, Wentworth’s Higher Algebra, Johnson’s History of English and American Literature, and Blaisdell’s First Steps with English and American Authors also are used. APPOINTMENTS. Each legislative district of the State is entitled to send to the Normal School every year four properly appointed students, of either sex. Appoint- ments are made by the County Superintendents (see page 129, Section 14, 15 and 16, School Law of 1900) between the first day of July and the thirty- first day of December. Appointments should be certified to the President of the State College as soon as they are made. Appointees secure all the advantages indicated on page — . They do not receive mileage, unless they remain in school the full collegiate year. Appointments to the Normal School are good for one year. Those who ere ready to enter the Freshman Class of the full four years’ Professional Course should see that their appointments are made for the College and not for the Normal School. Appointments made for that course as a college course are good for four years. CALENDAR. The First Term opens September 14, 1905. The Second Term opens January 2, 19*06. The Third Term opens March 12, 1906. Students should enter as early in the term as possible. SCHEDULE FOR THE STATE DIPLOMA. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 107 The ylcademy.

SCHEDULE OF STUDIES IN THE ACADEMY. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 109 110 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. The Academy is under the immediate direction and management of the Principal and three Assistants. The students are subject to the same rules and regulations as the stu- dents of the College. Their attendance at the College is required only dur- ing the hours of recitation and other prescribed College exercises, the prep- aration of their lessons being made elsewhere. The courses of study in the Academy are provided for those who enter directly from the common schools, and are intended to supply the necessary training intermediate between the Freshman class of the College and the course of study prescribed by the State Board of Education for the common schools. Every applicant, to be admitted to the Academy, is required to pass a satisfactory examination in Spelling, Reading, Writing, Geography, History of the United States, English Grammar, and Arithmetic. County appointees must present Certificates of Appointment, made on actual examination held in pursuance of law by a County Board of Exam- iners, duly appointed for that purpose by the County Superintendent. Applicants from the public schools of Lexington must present certifi- cates from the School Board setting forth that they have completed the eighth-grade studies. Other applicants must present certificates from their County Superin- tendent, or from the Principal of their High School, setting forth that they have completed the common school course prescribed by the State Board of Education. Those who enter at any other time than the beginning of the year will be required to pass a satisfactory examination on the work already gone over by the classes they propose to enter. Students matriculating in the Academy will be required to pursue one of its prescribed courses of study, and will not be permitted to take any work outside of this course except on the recommendation of the Principal. ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS. These will be held as follows: Tuesday, September 12, 1905, on English Grammar, Rhetoric, and Greek Gram- mar; Wednesday, September 13, on Political and Descriptive Geography, U. S. History, Latin Grammar, and Second Year Algebra; Thursday, September 14, on Arithmetic, Physical Geography, General History, and -Second Year Latin; Fri- day, September 15, on First Year Latin, Algebra, Geometry, and Second Year Greek. Examinations to begin at 8 a. m. and close at 12 m. For the benefit of those, othei; than county appointees, who desire to know the character of the examination which applicants for admission will be required to pass, the following examination papers are submitted as a sample. It is not to be understood that these are the questions on which applicants will be examined, but that they indicate the minimum attain- ments necessary to enter the Academy of the College. Those who expect to enter more advanced classes will be required to pass an examination on all that the class which they propose to enter has passed over. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Ill I.

This, the oldest of the literary associations connected with the State College, was formed in 1872 by the consolidation of the Yost Club and the Ashland Institute, and operates under a charter from the Legislature. It occupies a commodious and well-furnished hall in the Gymnasium and is supplied with a library due in part to an appropriation from the State. Besides the weekly meetings devoted to declamations, essays, and debates, the Society holds on the 22d of February an annual contest in oratory, and awards to the successful competitor a gold medal provided by the alumni. THE PATTERSON LITERARY SOCIETY. This Society, formed in 1887, and, at the suggestion of Governor Knott, named in honor of the President of the College, was chartered in 1888. It is provided with a handsome room and a good library. The annual oratori- cal contest is held on the 26th of March, the birthday of the President, whd presents the first prize, a gold medal. The second, also a gold medal, is the gift of Mr. George W. Crum, of Louisville. THE PHILOSOFHIAN AND NEVILLE SOCIETIES. These Societies, instituted, the former in 1882, the latter in 1905, by young women of the College, for literary improvement and social pleasure, offer, besides the usual weekly meetings, public entertainments consist- ing of declamations, essays, criticisms, and addresses. THE ENGINEERING SOCIETY. This body, composed of matriculates in either course of engineering, meets on the third Friday of each month. The exercises consist of a paper lead by a member on some pertinent topic, followed by a general discussion. During the year the Society is occasionally favored, with lectures by experi- enced engineers not connected with the College. LIBRARY (MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING). STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 113 ATHLETICS. Opportunity for physical exercise and legitimate outdoor sport is afforded by the spacious Athletic Field and Parade Ground. The management of athletics by the students is vested in an Athletic Association formed by the union of the Football, the Baseball, and. Track Athletic Societies. The officers of these three sub-organizations constitute the managing board of the Athletic Association. The control of athletics by the Faculty is secured through their Committee on Athletics, acting under a set of regulations adopted by the Faculty and approved by the Trustees. CHAUTAUQUA REPRESENTATIVE. An oratorical contest, under the auspices of the Literary Societies, but open to every bona fide student of the College, is held on the last Tuesday afternoon before Commencement to select a representative to speak at the Lexington Chautauqua. jilumni. 1869.

STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 165 COLLEGE EXPENSES. The necessary expenses of a student while at College need not exceed the following estimates. As a rule, the less pocket-money allowed by parents or guardians, the better it is for the pupil. When supplies of pocket-money are kept short, the opportunity for contracting vicious habits is correspond- ingly diminished. Students should not be allowed by their parents to create any debts. All moneys intended for the use of the students should be de- posited with the Commandant. For a county appointee, occupying a room in the dormitory, the neces- sary expenses are as follows: Tuition free $00 00 Matriculation free 00 00 Gymnasium free 00 00 Room rent free 00 00 Use of furniture 2 50 Washing, about 10 00 Uniform 16 00 Books, about 10 00 Total $38 50 Board in clubs, $2 per week; in families, $3 to $4. For students not county appointees the necessary expenses are: Tuition for Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Mining En- gineering $40 00 Tuition for Classical, Scientific and Normal School Courses 25 00 Matriculation fee.. 5 00 Gymnasium fee 5 00 For each laboratory, fee 5 00 Washing, about 10 00 Room and furniture 6 50 Uniform 16 00 Books, about 10 00 Board in clubs, about $2.00 per week; in families, $3.00 to $4.00. All who occupy rooms in the dormitories make a deposit of $5.00 to cover damage done during their occupancy. This is refunded at the close of the year, less the amount of damage assessed against the depositor. Board and lodging are provided in Patterson Hall for young women, at $3.00 per week, they furnishing their own bed clothes and towels. This hand- some three-story building, a fourth of a mile from the College, can accom- modate 125 students. DIPLOMA. By order of the Board of Trustees, a fee of $5.00 will hereafter be charged for each diploma issued by the College. 166 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. TREE TUITION, BENEFICIARIES. Each Legislative Representative District is allowed to send, on competi- tive examination, one properly prepared student each year to this College, free of charge for tuition. [A statement for the guidance of County Superintendents: 1. If the county forms one or more than one Legislative Representative District, each district is entitled to keep four students in the College and four in the Normal School free of tuition. 2. If a Legislative Representative District embraces more than one county, each county is entitled to keep four students in the College and four in the Normal School free of tuition.] Beneficiaries are appointed on competitive examination. A Board of Exam- iners is appointed for this purpose by the County Superintendent of common schools. The results of examination are reported to the Superintendent, who from the data thus furnished selects the appointee. Examinations are made upon subjects transmitted to the County Superintendent by the Faculty of the College. One appointment is made each year. Appointments are made by the County Superintendent between the first day of June and the first day of August of each year. Appointments when made should be immediately certified to the President of the College. Appointments for the College proper, viz., the Agricultural, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Scientific, Classical, and Normal Collegiate courses, are all valid for the term of years necessary to complete the course of study in which the appointee matriculates. This includes the course in the! Academy. It follows from the above that a county which makes its appointments regu- larly according to law will have for the session of 1901-2 one appointment to the College; for the session of 1902-3 two appointees; for the session of 1903-4 three appointees; for the session of 1904-5 four appointees. When the first ap- pointee completes his course, or ceases to b a student, another appointee takes his place. When the quota of a county is full it will have at least four ap~ pointees in regular attendance. Each appointee is required to pass an entrance examination at the College on the subjects comprising all that is embraced in Arithmetic, English Gram- mar, Geography, and United States History in the common school course. All persons are eligible between the ages of fourteen and twenty-four who have completed the common school course — preference being given to young men or women whose means are limited, to aid whom this provision is es- pecially intended. Any person not an appointee may enter the College on payment of fees, but no one who is not an appointee receives traveling expenses or is exempt from the payment of fees. APPOINTEES TO THE NORMAL COURSE. The law makes provision for the appointment of four teachers, or persons preparing to teach, each year. Appointments may he made and certified to the President of the College between the first day of July and the thirty-first day of December of each year. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 167 Appointments to the Normal School are tenable for one year. Applicants for appointments are examined by a Board of Examiners ap : pointed by the County Superintendent on subjects transmitted by the Faculty, viz.: upon Arithmetic, English Grammar, United Statesi History, and Geogra- phy. They should not be less than seventeen yeaps of age. They are also required to pass an entrance examination at the College. They must likewise bring certificates of good moral character. Matriculates of the Normal Department will be required to sign an obliga- tion to teach in the Common Schools of Kentucky for as many months as they receive for tuition. SPECIAL COURSES OP STUDY. Special courses of study are not provided for in the Academy, the Normal School, or the College proper; provided, however, that persons who have passed the age of twenty-four years, the limit below which appointments as bene- ficiaries under the law must be made, may under certain conditions be allowed to pursue selected studies without matriculating in one of the regular courses of the College. CHANGE OF CLASSIPICATION. No student shall be allowed to change his or her course of study from one department of the College to another, until he or she shall have completed and passed a satisfactory examination on each subject hitherto studied in the de- partment of which he or she is a matriculate; and no change of courses shall be permitted during the current year. ACCREDITED SCHOOLS. Schools, whether public or private, may be accredited in accordance with a resolution of the Faculty providing that graduates of these may be exempted from entrance examinations to the College when the heads of these schools have complied with certain conditions. Further, the Board of Trustees have made an annual award of a free scholarship to the pupil in each accredited school who has completed the certi- fied course with the highest class standing. This scholarship entitles the recipient to free tuition. If, in addition, the holder of a scholarship obtains the “County Appointment,” he is entitled to free room in one of the dormitories and free traveling expenses.

Upon application, printed forms will be sent to the heads of schools who may desire to have them placed in the list of the accredited schools. These forms are to be filled out with an announcement of the courses of study and mailed to the Chairman of the Committee on Accredited Schools at the State College. Only pupils from duly accredited schools will be admitted to the Col- lege without examination, and they must present a certificate from their superintendent or principal and it must bear the signature of the President of the State College. Every pupil who completes an accredited course is entitled to a certifi- cate attesting the fact, and heads of schools in the foregoing list will oblige the College Committee on Accredited Schools by sending promptly their recommendations for certificates and scholarships. MANUAL LABOR. The work necessary for carrying on the agricultural and horticultural 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-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 Agri- cultural Colleges generally — that compensated labor is not remunerative to the College. The College assumes no obligation to furnish students an opportunity to labor for compensation. Students are paid monthly for the service rendered, and apply the money as they see proper. No student , however, should come to this College expecting to maintain 170 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. himself exclusively by compensated labor. At least seventy-five dollars per annum, exclusive of his earnings while here, should be at the command of every student who wishes to avail himself of the advantages of the system of compensated labor. CERTIFICATES OF CHARACTER. All applicants for admission into any class of the College or Academy must bring satisfactory testimonials of good moral character. THE MONITRESS. The young women who attend the College have assigned for their exclu- sive use a large and well-appointed study-room. Here, while they are not engaged in the class rooms or in the chapel, they are under the constant and strict supervision of the Monitress, Mrs. Blackburn, who has long been connected with the College and is well qualified for her duties. ENLISTMENT OF CADETS. By a resolution of the Faculty, approved by the Board of Trustees, no cadet of the State College is allowed to enlist in the State Guards. RULES OF CLASSIFICATION. 1. No student shall be considered as belonging to a given class, unless he takes at least three studies selected in that class or in a higher. 2. No student shall pass into a higher class while he has to make up Studies required of him in the preceding year. 3. Students may be permitted, by the Deans of their courses and the Professors with whom they take their major studies, to register for studies not more than one year in advance of their classification.

The value of additions to the equipment of the stations in 1904 is estimated as fol- lows: Buildings, $168,087.44; libraries, $12,859.04; apparatus, $29,996.77; farm STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 179 implements, $18,360.68; live stock, $34,065.94; miscellaneous, $30,081.82; total, $293,451.69. The stations employ 795 persons in the work of administration and inquiry. The number of officers engaged in the different lines of work is as tallows: Directors, 54; assistant and vice-directors, 17; special agents in charge, 3; chemists, 163; agriculturists, 47; agronomists, 41; animal husbandmen, 46; poultrymen, 8; horticulturists, 76; farm and garden foremen, 30; dairymen, 35; botanists, 55; plant pathologists, 7; entomologists, 59; zoologists, 4; veter- inarians, 29; meteorologists, 8; foresters, 4; mycologists, 3; biologists, 6; physicists, 6; geologists, 7; bacteriologists, 20; irrigation engineers, 11; in charge of substations, 28; secretaries and treasurers, 31; librarians, 13; clerks and stenographers, 42. There are also sixty-three persons classified under the head of “miscellaneous,” including superintendents of grounds and buildings, gardeners, plant breeders, farm' mechanics, cheese experimenters, etc. Four hundred and fourteen station officers do more or less teaching in the colleges with which the stations are connected. During the year the stations pub- lished 393 annual reports and bulletins, which were supplied to nearly 700,000 addresses on the regular mailing lists. A larger number of stations than for- merly supplemented their regular publications with more or less frequent issues of press bulletins and other special publications, and most of the stations report a large and constantly increasing correspondence with farmers on a wide variety of topics.

D.: Dear Sir: In accordance with your request, I submit to you the following report of the Agricultural Course for the biennial period 1903-5. I am glad to be able to report that the increasing interest in the agricul- tural work reported two j^ears ago, still continues, and is manifesting itself in a gradual increase in the enrollment. The number registered for the regular course for 1902-3 was thirteen, in the following year eighteen, and in 1904-5 nineteen. At this writing, the present year shows a further increase. There is additional encouragement in the fact that our graduates, upon leaving col- lege, are promptly finding openings in desirable and responsible positions. The character of the w r ork given in the course during the past twoi years has not differed materially from that of the preceding period. The first two years of the course are nearly identical with the Scientific course, the distinc- tive work in agriculture being given mainly in the Junior and Senior years. Much of the most important work of the course has been made possible! heretofore through the cooperation of the officers of the Experiment Station in giving courses of instruction in their respective specialties, and I desire to express my sincere appreciation of this aid on the part of Director Scovell and Professors Garman, Harper and May. Professor Garman in particular, in his important branch of Entomology, has given quite extended courses to our students. I desire also to gratefully acknowledge the aid of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, which Department, as a result of arrangements made by yourself with Secretary Wilson, detailed an officer of the Division of Soils for instruction in this institution in the winter term of 1903-4. This, position was very acceptably filled by Mr. C. W. Dorsey, who gave a course upon soils to an appreciative class throughout the month of January, 1904. Notwithstanding the valuable aid given by the Experiment Station officers in agricultural instruction, it has long been felt to be highly desirable that more extended courses should be given to our students in agriculture propel and in animal husbandry. The instruction given by these gentlemem has been necessarily limited by the demands of their regular duties, and, except in Ento- mology, has been confined almost exclusively to the winter term. It is a source of great satisfaction to the writer, that, since the Close of the biennial period under discussion, the Board of Trustees has provided for more extended instruction in these fundamental subjects of the course, by establishing an assistant professorship in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and by the appointment of Mr. J. J. Hooper, of Texas, latterly of Iowa, to the position. With this addition to our teaching staff, full courses of instruction have been arranged and begun in Soils and Crops, Stock Breeding, Feeding and Judging, Dairying, Farm Mechanics and Rural Architecture, that will greatly strengthen the course. Now that more extended instruction has been secured in Agriculture proper, it becomes especially evident that Horticulture should be more adequately pro- vided for. The instruction in this subject has been confined to the two shorter 188 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. terms of' the Junior year, and but little time has been available for the most essential feature of the work — the laboratory instruction. Several important phases of horticultural instruction have not been touched upon at all. These limitations have been due in part to lack of facilities, and in part also to lack of hours in which to give such instruction, owing to the large! demands upon the writer’s time in the botanical work of the College, which also con- sists largely of laboratory study, and thus conflicts with any material extension in the horticultural teaching. The work in horticulture should be enlarged as speedily as possible to include laboratory courses in pomology and vegetable gardening (now largely consisting of lecture and text-book instruction), plant breeding, landscape horticulture, forcing house crops, and ultimately floriculture. Every one of these subjects is essential to a well-rounded course of 1 horticultural instruc- tion, and they are offered in a large majority of the land-grant colleges. These requirements could be met, to a considerable degree, by the employ- ment of an instructor who could take charge regularly of some of the classes which must be carried on simultaneously with my own, and it is earnestly hoped that some provision of this kind may be arranged by the next collegiate year. It is believed that the time is ripe also for the introduction of the study of Forestry in this institution. There are few, if any, States in which the present and prospective interests in forest growth and lumbering are any greater than in Kentucky. These occupations are closely allied and frequently coincident with the agricultural interests of the Commonwealth. There is a widespread awakening as to the importance of this subject, and considerable agitation rela- tive to the matter has already begun in our State, which has resulted in fre- quent inquiries about forestry being sent to the college and station. The State College is manifestly the institution in which the interests of this subject should center, and right here the initiative should be taken looking toward the training of men to take charge of the rapidly developing interests of this important science. A beginning could be made by incorporating studies in this branch in the Agricultural course, a plan which has been successfully fol- lowed in many other land- grant colleges. If the right man could be secured, the instructorship referred to above would, when provided, make it possible to initiate an elementary course in this subject. It is proposed to make renewed efforts to secure interests and attendance upon a short business course in agriculture for farmers’ sons during the next winter term. It has been exceedingly difficult in years past, with our available teaching force, to provide adequately for these short-course students, Since in many cases it is desirable, and in others necessary, that the instruction of the regular students should be materially modified to meet the needs of these special students, thus requiring considerable duplication of the teacher’s work. With the accession of an assistant professor this difficulty will be in a great measure overcome. To provide for any satisfactory further expansion of the Agricultural course it is necessary for us to have a building. At present the Agricultural Department proper does not possess a single building, or even a single room upon cur College grounds, devoted exclusively to agricultural instruction. This STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 189 course can not attain its full usefulness or take its rightful rank in the in- stitution until it possesses a suitable material foundation for its work comparar ble to the equipment always deemed indispensable for the conduct of any* engineering course. We need rooms for lecture and laboratory purposes in Agriculture proper, in animal husbandry, in horticulture, and forestry; large rooms for the storage and handling of farm engines, implements and machinery, and for such wood-working and forging as are necessary for the work in farm mechanics; a drawing room for rural architecture and landscape gardening, and, finally, glass structures for plant propagation, for vegetable forcing and othef forms of winter laboratory study. Although Kentucky is pre-eminently an agricultural State, we are behind most of the land-grant colleges in our equipment for agricultural instruction. A number of the prominent agricultural States have appropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars specifically for agricultural buildings and equipment. In view of our needs and the rank Kentucky holds as an agricultural Com- monwealth, it seems to me that we make a very modest request if we appeal to our next General Assembly for an appropriation of $50,000 for a building and equipment for the education of Kentucky youth in agriculture, Respectfully submitted, Clarence W. Mathews, Dean Agricultural Course. Lexington, Ky., November 1, 1905. President James K. Patterson, LL. D.: Sir: In accordance with your request, I submit the following report of the Department of Agriculture, Horticulture and Botany for the biennial period ending in June, 1905. The enrollment in the several classes of this years has been as follows: department for these 1903-4. 1904-5.

As will be noted in the classification above, there appears to be a falling off in the number of students in this department for the year 1904-5. This, however, is more apparent than real, and is accounted for mainly by the fact that in the second of these two years, no short winter course in agri- culture was offered, and also because the special course given by Mr. Dorsey in 1903-4 was not repeated the following winter. The work of the department has been carried on in the same general way as in the preceding similar period. The botanical studies are con- ducted mainly in the form of laboratory work, supplemented by lectures, recitations and written examinations. The Freshman botany is arranged to correspond with the work usually given in high schools, and is not required of those students who have taken a satisfactory high school course. The regular Sophomore work is begun with a study of the compound microscope, the student being given a preliminary course of instruction in the care and use of this instrument before applying it to his botanical work proper. The work of this year provides a rather comprehensive general survey of the entire plant kingdom, so arranged because many of the class do not continue their studies in botany beyond this year, and also because this plan secures a very satisfactory introduction to the subject for those who carry their work farther. The studies of the Junior year include as their main botanical subjects the minute anatomy of plants, plant physiology, and economic botany. In this year also is given a large proportion of the instruction in horticulture and agriculture proper. For several years past, as referred to in the accom- panying report of the agricultural course, much of the agricultural instruc- tion has been voluntarily given by the officers of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station. With the beginning of the present year, however, an assistant professorship in agriculture and animal husbandry has been created, and, as a result, a greatly expanded scheme of agricultural instruction has been planned and entered upon. This department, in common with others, has for several years shared in the benefits of the system of annual fellowship appointments in use in this institution. The appointee in this department, while taking post-grad- uate study — usually in botany — also serves as a laboratory assistant, giving attention to a part of the routine work of securing plant material for classes and to the numberless other details involved in laboratory instruction. For several years past, there has been an increasing need of assistance of a more permanent character than these fellowships afford. During a part of the year, it has been necessary for the instructor to conduct two botanical classes simultaneously. In the fall and spring terms, both, it is desirable to carry on laboratory courses also in horticulture at the same hour that large classes of botanical students are in session. With the increase in the variety of studies in agriculture proper, inaugurated with the present session, it is important, in order to secure a v, r ell-balanced agricultural course, to increase very materially the laboratory courses in horticulture, such as systematic pomology, market gardening and forcing house practice. To do these things requires the appointment of a regular instructor who could STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 191 give all of hi.? time to the work, and such an appointment, it is earnestly hoped, may be provided for in the near future. On account of the very limited appropriations of the past two years, no extensive additions to the equipment could be made, the expenditures being mainly confined to the purchase of supplies and reagents for the regular routine work of the laboratory. The department library has, however, been extended by the purchase of forty-nine volumes, and the advanced laboratory has been equipped with new tables at a cost of about ninety dollars. A special appropriation of one hundred and fifty dollars was granted to the department in January, 1905, for the purpose of establishing a course in wood-working, especially adapted to the needs of the agricultural students. Temporary quarters for this work were provided in the basement of the natural science building, and it is planned to make this work a distinct feature of the Agricultural Course. Respectfully submitted, Clarence W. Mathews. Lexington, Ky., November 20, 1905. President James K. Patterson, State College of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky.: My Dear Sir: As Dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineer- ing of the State College of Kentucky, I have the honor to present to you a re- port relative to this department, to be incorporated in your biennial report to the General Assembly. This report covers the period for the two years begin- ning July 1, 1903, and ending July 1, 1905, together with a statement of the number of students matriculated in this department at the beginning of the fall term, 1905. MATRICULATES, During the College year 1903-4, the matriculates in the department were distributed as follows: Seniors, 20; Juniors, 42; Sophomores, 49; Freshmen, 70. During the College year 1904-5, the matriculates were as follows: Seniors, 29; Juniors, 34; Sophomores, 38; Freshmen, 56. At the beginning of the year 1905-6 the matriculates are as follows: Seniors, 30; Juniors, 20; Sophomores, 51; Freshmen, 46. COURSE OF STUDY. The curriculum of this department has an individuality that stands out prominently before the educational world. In most of the older courses of study a hard and fast line has been drawn between electrical and medhanical engineering. Many courses in electrical engineering make good electricians, but not first-class engineers. Many schools develop good stelam engineers, who are totally deficient in the electrical end of engineering. It is the purpose of this school to give young men a broad training in dynamic engineering, so that when they leave this institution they may take 192 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. up any branch of engineering relating to the design, construction and operation of steam, electric, gas, pneumatic, or hydraulic machinery. They have a splendid foundation for carrying on any work in the design of machine tools and special machinery. All phases) of power transmission and the application of machines to industrial work are so intimately associated that it is very necessary in the training of a mechanical engineer to give him such a broad foundation upon which to build his engineering structure that he may be able tc take up any branch of mechanical engineering and build a successful en- gineering career upon the foundation that he has received in college. It is a mistake to specialize too' severely in undergraduate courses in engineering. No engineering school can make an efficient engineer any more than a law school can graduate a lawyer thoroughly versed in all lines per- taining to his profession. The engineering school simply constructs the foundation; the superstructure must be erected by the man’s own application and experience after leaving college. Comprehensive courses in analytical mechanics, strength of materials and mechanical drawing have enabled graduates to take up architectural work. It has been the aim of this school to present such a course of study that will prove efficient as a basis for any line of engineering work, and the success that has been attained by graduates of Kentucky State College in the commer- cial engineering world is a tribute to the efficiency of the Kentucky School/ of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. The course of study carried on in the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering has not been modified for several years, with the exception that subjects have been presented each year, as the development in the science of mechanical engineering has warranted. The course of study in this depart- ment is shown by the accompanying tabulation. The character of work of the students the last two years has been very superior to that ever done before, due to the enforcing of the faculty regulations pertaining to this department, that no student be allowed to enter the Senior year with a condition in any subject, and that no student be allowed to enter the Junior year With but one condition, and that due to a failure; and that no student be allowed to enter the Sophomore year with one condition, due to a failure, the standard of work in all classes has been very much raised. This rule has been the means of weeding out inferior material, which undoubtedly is always an important element in determining the standard of any class work. CLASSES TAUGHT BY INSTRUCTORS.

The annual inspection trips for Junior students were made during the two years, under the direction of Prof. John T. Faig; the objective points w r ere Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. The Senior trips for the two years were under the direction of the under- signed in 1904, and under the direction of Prof. A. M. Wilson and the under- signed in 1905; the objective points were Lafayette, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These inspection trips are of inestimable value to the Junior engineering student just before beginning his final work in machine design, which consists of the complete development of a machine tool, and the students are privileged to visit some of the largest machine- building establishments in the country. The Seniors, just before taking up the discussion of a comprehensive thesis problem pertaining to power trans- mission or development, are given many practical illustrations of the cur- rent practice pertaining to the great surface and elevated railroads and manufacturing power stations, which are characteristic engineering fea- tures of a great city. POSITIONS FOR SENIORS. Never in the history of mechanical and electrical engineering in this institution has there been such evidence of the standing of the State College of Kentucky in the engineering world as has been shown during the last two years. 198 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. In June, 1904, there were forty-two places available for the twenty Seniors graduated. In June, 1905, there were seventy-two places that could have been filled had there been sufficient number of graduates from the depart- ment; this condition, however, gave the twenty-seven men splendid opportunity to select just the sort of work which was congenial and for which they were best adapted. As an illustration of the firms the graduates in mechanical and electrical engineering found employment with, immediately after graduation, the fol- lowing statistics from the class of 1905 will prove of interest: The graduates of last year’s class were employed by the following insti- tutions: Keith Frazee Adamson — Allis-Chalmers Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Alison Akin — Western Electric Company, Chicago, Illinois. Louis Erwin Baumgarten — Illinois Steel Works, Chicago, Illinois. Charles Alfred Bickel — Bullock Electric Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. Frank Hendrick Darnall — Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com- pany, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Harry Griswold Edwards — General Electric Company, Schenectady, New York. Edgar Allen Cline — Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania. George Hubbard Gilbert — Western Electric Company, Chicago, Illinois. William Henry Grady — Atlas Engine Works, Indianapolis, Indiana. Clarence Walter Ham — Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, State Col- lege of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky.

Howard Murphy West — New York Edison Company, New York City. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 199 EFFICIENCY OF INSTRUCTORS. It is my pleasure to say that I believe there is no engineering school in this country that has, at the present time, a more efficient corps of in- structors. Every man is energetic, enthusiastic and thoroughly proficient in his work. A spirit of activity pervades the department and a large per- centage of the students put in much more time than is required of them. The students seem to find their greatest pleasure in the work pertaining to their college course. The department hours are from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon; the work of every student is laid out so that he will have no vacant hours during that time. THE DEMAND FOR ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT. A critical period has been reached in the development of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. It is an undisputed fact that the greatest possible use has been made of the facilities that have been provided for training young men in mechanical and electrical engineering in Ken- tucky. By teaching young engineers to work faithfully and persistently on the subjects contained in this college course, we have been able to graduate individuals who have proven highly efficient in the engineering world; but there are decided limitations in the process of training young engineers with- out adequate material facilities. While other prominent engineering schools throughout the country during the last few years have been receiving thou- sands of dollars for betterments, we have been compelled to do with only sufficient support for operating expenses of the department, and for several years we have added practically nothing to our equipment. A nucleus for a great engineering school has been formed, but it is evident that unless a large amount of money is secured for putting our plant on a more modern basis, we will be seriously handicapped in competing with the work that is being done in those schools where hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on engineering buildings and equipment. RECOMMENDATIONS. First: That one hundred thousand dollars be secured from the State Legislature to put up a modern building for mechanical and electrical engin- eering work. Second: That fifty thousand dollars be secured from the State Legis- lature for properly equipping the above building. The States of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri have equipments for mechanical and electrical engineering work, ranging from one hundred thousand to four hundred thousand dollars in value. The value of the equipment for mechanical and electrical in- struction at the State College of Kentucky is less than fifty thousand dollars. Yours respectfully, F. Paul Anderson, Dean, School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. 200 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Lexington, Ky., November 18, 1905. President James K. Patterson, State College of Kentucky : Dear Sir: In accordance with your request, I submit the following biennial report of the Department of Physics: The Department of Physics occupies three rooms in the basement of the main College building. One room was formerly used as a machine shop, an- other as a blacksmith shop. They are damp, poorly lighted and ventilated; mold and rust attack the instruments. One of these rooms is used as a store- room and laboratory for elementary work; it will conveniently accommodate at one time about twenty students, but, in order to meet present requirements, it should accommodate at least fifty students. One-half of the second room is crowded with thirty-five seats; the other half of this room, furnishing a floor space 15x24 feet, is used for storage and as a laboratory for the Junior and Senior classes in Physics. It is furnished with two small tables for ex- perimental work and can accommodate, without crowding, less than a dozen students. Accommodation should be had for about fifty students. Any one can see how seriously handicapped this work is, and how difficult it is to secure good work under these conditions. Some lines of important work can not be even attempted. The facilities for instruction and class work are relatively worse than they were a few years ago, when there were fewer students, and will grow worse still as the number of students increases. When the enrollment is complete the number of students receiving instruc- tion in Physics this year will be about two hundred. At present the most urgent needs of this department are: First: A new building for Physics, or a portion of a new building. It should afford about three times as much space as this department now has. There should be two lecture-rooms, two principal laboratories, besides a num- ber of smaller rooms for apparatus, storage, electric batteries, dark rooms, etc. Second: Additional equipment. These, especially the first, are urgent needs, and not simply wants. This fact can easily be verified by investigation. The importance of Physics is recognized in some measure by the prom- inence given to it in the courses of study in this College which le'ad to the various bachelor degrees. Physics, chemistry, physiology, geology, zoology and botany are the principal branches of science taught in these courses. Of these branches, the first two only are required of every student for gradu- ation from this College, but, while this is true, physics is the only science not well provided for. I most earnestly and respectfully call attention to these needs and hope that the Legislature of Kentucky will make an appropriation that will en- able the Board of Trustees to provide properly for this department of study. Respectfully, M. L. Pence, Professor of Physics. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 201 Lexington, Ky., November 11, 1905. Dr. James K. Patterson, President State College of Kentucky: Dear Sir: In response to your request, I have the honor to submit the following report concerning the Department (in effect School) of Mining En- gineering. LOCATION. I deem it well to emphasize the fact that Lexington is one of the most fortuitously situated places for the location of a mining school to be found in this country. The idea that such a school must be immediately in a mining region is not at all well founded. At best, schools so located have only one form of mining at their doors — either iron, or copper, or coal, or lead, silver or gold, requiring excursions, in most instances long ones, for the study of other varieties. One of the greatest of the mining schools of the world (Columbia) is located in New York City. Lexington is in close touch with various mining fields; it is within easy distances of coal, lead and zinc, and iron mines, with their dressing and reduction plants, within the State, and of copper and gold mines, with their reduction plants, south of us. COURSE OF STUDY. The course was established on a high standard, in the belief that we should seek from the beginning to turn out graduates of a high grade, rather than begin with a lower standard merely because that might (as experience has shown would have been the case) result in a larger number of matriculates. While it must be admitted, as is indicated beyond, that in one direction it has not been possible to meet the requirements of the course as fully as should be done, still they should be and are retained in the expectation that ultimately provision will be made to cover all of them in a satisfactory way. Our deficiencies are in metallurgy and ore dressing; in all other respects, the instruction given compares favorably with that afforded by older and well attended mining schools, and in some instances is better than may be had at some of them. Following is the course of study leading to the degree of bachelor of mining engineering: Freshman Year. — English, Plane Trigonometry, Solid Geometry, Higher Algebra, Physics, Free-hand and Mechanical Drawing, Shopwork in Wood. Sophomore Year. — Analytical Geometry, Calculus (begun), Chemistry, Physical Laboratory, 'Geology (general), . Metallurgy, Surveying and Map- ping, Elementa.ry Design, Descriptive Geometry, Mechanical Drawing, Iron and Steel Forging. Junior Year. — Calculus (concluded), Strength of Materials, Chemistry of Metals, Metallurgy and Assaying, Electricity and Magnetism, Quantitative Analysis, Surveying and Mapping, Mine Surveying, Analytical Mechanics, Mineralogy and Blowpiping, Dynamo-Electric Machinery, Electrical Appli- ances, and Mining (including Excavating, Quarrying, Boring, Shaft Sinking, Prospecting, Exploration, Methods of Working and Timbering Mines, etc.). 202 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Senior Year — History and Political Economy, Hydraulics, Steam Engine and Boilers, Alternating Currents and Power Plants, Economic Geology, Mining (including Extraction of Minerals, haulage, hoisting, draining, ven- tilating, etc.; Machines and Appliances for Mining, hoisting, draining, ven- tilating, screening, etc.; Examination and Valuation of Mines), Ore Dress- ing, Gold and Silver Milling, Coal Washing, Mine Plant Design, and Thesis ■work. Opportunity for visiting mines, under guidance of the Dean or other qualified person, is given during the holidays and at the close of the term. EQUIPMENT. The school is provided with an electric light stereopticon, and a reflecto- scope, with a large number of lantern slides for illustrating lectures; numer- ous charts, blue-prints and photographs illustrating mining methods and machinery; a working model of a mine hoist, with safety catch for cages; a “German dial” (or hanging compass) and accessories, and plummet lamps for mine survey; a Vajen-Bader “head protector,” an apparatus for use in exploring mines filled with deadly gases after explosions or during fires (loaned by the Vajen-Bader Company), some safety lamps, and apparatus for measuring ventilation. For work in the laboratory, the equipment con- sists of a standard Wilfley concentrating table, a Hallett hand jig, a Campbell coal-washer, a model of a complete coal-washing plant, a mine ventilating fan (all three presented by Mr. J. B. Atkinson, of Earlington, Ky.), and an assaying outfit. The machines are operated by a three horse power electric motor. MATRICULATES. The school has entered upon its fourth year. Unfortunately, when estab- lishing the department, no provision was made by the Legislature either for a building or for equipment, and the financial resources of the College have not been sufficient to supply the needs in that direction. The school, therefore, is being developed under serious limitations, due not only to the •wants indicated, but to circumstances which they render possible, and the number of students enrolled has not equaled what may confidently be expect- ed whenever the school shall be placed in a more favorable position, and be enabled, also, to meet competition within the State coming from schools of other States. The opening of the present session, however, bears wit- ness to hopeful progress, notwithstanding our embarrassments. The school opened its first session with five matriculates; the present session opened with ten, including seven new men. A number of applicants have failed to enter either because of insufficient preparation, or on account of the length of the course (four years). We have sent out three graduates. One of them, after taking post-graduate work here, is now employed at a copper mine; another, until recently employed on the State Geological Survey, will now enter the service of a Kentucky coal mining company; and the third is taking post-graduate work. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 203 SHORT COURSE IN MINING. % In the foregoing paragraph, mention was made of the failure of persons to enter the course because of its length, etc. Reference was especially to young men working in our coal mines (“practical miners”) and to mine foremen. A short course in mining for such men is very desirable, and many expressions favoring it have been received from the mines. It would prove of great value to the mining interests of the State, since first-grade foremen are, unfortunately, scarce in Kentucky. Were there such a course in the school, I have reason to know that there would be a considerable attendance upon it; and since it is probable that legislation prohibiting the employment of any but “certificated” foremen at our mines (as in other States) will be enacted at an early day, it seems our duty to provide such a course. But as matters stand it is not practicable to do so. PROGRESS IN INSTRUCTION GIVEN. For the first time since the department was organized, laboratory instruc- tion in some of the phases of ore dressing and in mine ventilation was given during the session of 1904-5. This was rendered possible by the erec- tion of a small frame building at a cost of $200. Less could be accom- plished than was hoped for, however, not only because of lack of certain machines, but because the building was too small even for what we had. To obviate the latter difficulty, the building has been enlarged, but it is still no more than a make-shift, simply large enough to afford space for the present appliances, few as they are. As a “mining laboratory,” it is quite inadequate. IMPORTANCE OF INSTRUCTION IN ORE DRESSING. The importance of affording adequate instruction in ore dressing will be recognized when it is known that a recent list obtained by the State Geolog- ical Survey (published in the report of the Inspector of Mines for 1904) shows more than eighty operators in our western lead, zinc and spar dis- trict, and that several operations have been established in the Central Ken- tucky district. The Missouri School of Mines is now attracting young men from Kentucky, because of facilities it offers for the study of ore dressing. Such young men could more readily be brought to this school, were we prepared to properly meet their wants, since in several respects this school has advantages over that at Rolla. The desirability that we shall be pre- pared to give satisfactory instruction in coal washing and coking seems obvious. Moreover, with a properly equipped ore dressing and metallurgical laboratory, the school could render valuable service in forwarding the development of our mineral districts, especially with regard to the con- centration of our zinc ores— a problem upon the solution of which depends the commercial value of a large proportion of such ores as found in this State. The laboratory could, undoubtedly, prove of great service as a testing plant lor ores and coals of the State. 204 STATE COLLEGE OP KENTUCKY. URGENT NEEDS. At this time the department is without a habitation of its own — without even a class-room of its own, the one used by the professor of mining as a lecture-room being one which, forming part of the suite belonging to the Department of Zoology, was placed temporarily at his command by the professor of geology and zoology. The small frame building that has been erected to serve temporarily for such instruction as can now be given in ore dressing, etc., is utterly too small in every way, and our poverty in apparatus and machinery is woeful. We need a building in which there shall be space for one or two class rooms; a mining museum, for models, tools, machines, apparatus, etc.; a mining laboratory, for ore dressing, concentration, coal washing, etc.; a metallurgical reduction laboratory, for furnaces, chlorination, cyaniding, $ts* saying, etc.; a library and draughting room; a small office for the dean of the department, and the offices of the Inspector of Mines and assistants, including a room for their maps and records, should be in the same building. We need crushers and rolls, special lecture-room apparatus for illustrating the laws of ore concentration, models of various sorts of mine machinery, a small stamp battery, sizing machines, magnetic concentrators, sets of min- ing and blasting tools, small chlorinating and cyaniding plants, sets of safety lamps, models illustrating various sorts of smelting furnaces, etc., etc. FINALE. I venture to believe that, though the youngest and most meagerly equipped, this department is not the least important one in the College. Its graduates will be directly associated with the development of the mineral resources of the State, and upon the latter depends the establishment of various industries that will call for the employment of graduates of other departments. In effect, repeating what I have said in a former report, I regret having to emphasize our deficiencies, but, nevertheless, deem it proper to lay them plainly before you that they may be considered along with the many extraordinary advantages afforded the mining student at State College. It is to be hoped that the necessary legislation to place the department on an even footing with other engineering departments of the College may be obtained at an early day; should this be accomplished, it is confidently believed that this school may be rapidly brought to a position that will enable it to cope with the mining schools of other States, and that the attendance not only from Kentucky but from States to the south of us will be all that can well be desired. Happily, provisions for thorough instruction in all the auxiliary branches of study that go with mining and metallurgy (including applied mechanics, applied electricity, chemistry, geol- ogy, etc.) are ample and complete. Very respectfully, C. J. Norwood, Dean. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 205 Lexington, Ky., November 1, 1905. President James K. Patterson, State College of Kentucky: Dear Sir: Since the direction of the Chemical Department was com- mitted to me only at the beginning of the present academic year, I do not feel myself to be in a position to review the work of the department during the last two years, when it was under the direction of my distinguished prede- cessor. It gives me pleasure, however, to report that the laboratory, with its equipment, was received in excellent condition, and the advanced students in chemistry give evidence of having received careful training. Under the present arrangement of courses in the College, chemistry is merely one of several subjects included in the scientific curriculum. No pro- vision is made for the study of chemistry with reference to the applications of the principles of this, the most useful of all the sciences in the industrial arts. The conditions in the College are favorable and the time is ripe for ex- tending the usefulness of the chemical department by establishing in it two professional schools, namely, a school of chemical engineering and a school of pharmacy. It is generally conceded that State colleges and State universities should prepare men for specified callings; that these State institutions should traifi for vocation as well as for culture, and the public is now deprived of tha most valuable service which the Department of Chemistry in our own College should render to the State. Many industrial establishments, such as soap works, gas works, fertilizer works, soda works, superphosphate works, oil refineries, tobacco extract works, sugar refineries, and bleacheries are based upon the application of chemical principles, and these industries can be conducted most profitably by chemists who are likewise familiar with mechanical subjects. As manufacturers are turning their attention more and more to the recov- ery of by-products, which formerly were thrown away, so there is an in- creasing demand for technical chemists to devise processes whereby ma- terials hitherto considered worthless may be utilized and placed to profit- able account. The managers of all such establishments are constantly applying for chemical engineers having a thorough knowledge of the science of chem- istry and capable, of constructing and improving the methods and appli- ances used in the manufacture and recovery of chemical products. The establishment of a School of Chemical Engineering under the lead- ership of the Department of Chemistry would add greatly to the efficiency of the department. Such a school would serve, moreover, to attract to the State College many young men who would otherwise be compelled to secure this training in other States where schools of Chemical Engineering exist. No serious additional cost would be incurred by instituting a School of Chemical Engineering in the College. The new course would involve mainly such an arrangement of the work of the Chemical students as to allow them to take advantage of the superior instruction and practice afforded by the Mechanical Engineering Department, already established in the College. 206 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. There is also great need in Kentucky of a combined collegiate and pro- fessional ^School of Pharmacy. Many young men have already applied to me for instruction in Chemistry that they might qualify themselves as practicing pharmacists in this State; but, as no provision has ever been made for work of this kind, all such applicants have been reluctantly dis- missed. The College is fortunate in having already excellent courses in Anatomy, Physiology, Botany, and Physics. With the cooperation of these depart- ments, together with a special course in pharmaceutical practice, the Chemical Department of the State College could maintain a course in Pharmacy of superior grade. Such a school, offering technical training in pharmaceutical practice, would be attractive to young women as well as to young men. A new field of usefulness is thus opened to those women who qualify themselves for the reputable and lucrative practice of Pharmacy, the sister of Medicine. No other professional department of the College would be more likely to have its graduates permanently settled within the State, and in future years a large constituency of well-educated, well-trained druggists and phar- maceutical chemists, holding the diploma of the State College of Kentucky, would reflect credit upon the institution which prepared them for the duties and responsibilities of life. The number of students receiving instruction in Chemistry is the largest in the history of the Department. All the available desks in the Chemical building on two floors are already occupied, and thirty students are now waiting for places where they may do the experimental work required. The timely withdrawal of the Agricultural Experiment Station has tem- porarily relieved the fearful congestion of last year, and yet the building is none too large to accommodate the students in the Chemical Department. Working desks and other furnishings are sorely needed to meet the demands now pressing for places in the laboratory. Two regularly qualified assistants must be added to the teaching force of the Department in order that the students may receive proper attention and the instruction which they need. Very respectfully, Chase Palmer, Professor of Chemistry. STATE COLLEGE OB' KENTUCKY. 207 Lexington, Ky., October 21, 1905. President James K. Patterson: Dear Sir: Herewith is my report of the work done in the School of Civil Engineering during the last two years. The increase in attendance in this department has been as follows: Year. Post-Grad. Seniors. Juniors. Soph. Freshmen. Total. 1896-1897 0 0 3 4 2 9 1897-1898 0 1 5 3 10 19 1898-1899 0 4 3 8 8 23 1899-1900 1 3 5 11 9 29 1900-1901 1 5 10 14 14 44 1901-1902 0 8 6 18 14 46 1902-1903 2 6 13 20 13 54 1903-1904 1 12 16 19 22 70 1904-1905 0 11 12 31 21 75 Last year this department was the only one that showed an increase in the number of under graduates. In the current year there is now an increase of 15 per cent, over last year. For the years named above, the increase in civil engineering has been two and one-half times as fast as for the College as a whole. Not a single one of our graduates has failed to find employment directly after leaving college, and they have, in their work, proved themselves as effic- ient as the graduates of other institutions with whom they are in compe- tition. They are at work on railroads, bridge designs, sanitary engineering, waterworks and in mining. All these industries are needed at home, in Kentucky, and as the State is developed, there will be more work for young civil engineers here. Every young man who must leave the State to practice his profession is a loss to the Commonwealth. This is true not only as regards the expense of his education, but his life’s w'ork is all given to some other locality. The needs of this State are such that a smaller proportion of the graduates in civil engineering will henceforth have to leave the State than of any othet department of the State College. The work of instruction is greatly hampered by the lack of room and instructors. There is but one small room for the exclusive use of this de- partment. This room has to be used both as a recitation room and as a draughting room and will accommodate much less than one-fourth of our students, the remainder are in other quarters by sufferance only. We have but one regularly employed instructor in the department where at least three men of mature experience are needed to put this course on a par with others in the institution. We are doing the very best we can under most discouraging circumstances and I believe the department of civil en- gineering has given the State better returns for the money expended upon it than any in the College. 208 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. I trust that steps may be taken immediately to provide students in civil engineering with suitable quarters and at least two more instructors. Respectfully submitted, John P.

Patterson: Dear Sir: A student who graduates at the State College with English as his major study may fairly claim to have a more thorough training than he could obtain elsewhere in the State. Our excellent system of accredited schools has enabled us to raise the entrance requirements year by year, until now our standard of admission to the Freshman English class is as high as that of most of the Eastern colleges. Kentucky may at last point with rea- sonable pride to the fact that the entrance requirements in English are precisely the same at Harvard, Yale and the State College of Kentucky. After six years’ earnest endeavor, it is gratifying to be able to affirm with- out hesitation that the young men and women who desire to master the essential principles of the English language and literature need no longer visit the older and wealthier colleges of the United States. Six or seven normal schools, at least a dozen private schools, and a considerable num- ber of academies and high schools assist in preparing the youth of Kentucky for collegiate work at the State institution. So far as English is concerned, our own academy is unsurpassed as a preparatory school, the work being thorough and efficient. Experience has shown the wisdom of making the Freshman work in English mainly utilitarian. No student can be promoted to the Sophomore class until he has mastered the technicalities of English composition, par- ticularly spelling, punctuation and paragraphing. In addition, he must be fairly well acquainted with the leading writers of the nineteenth century. In literature, aesthetics and philology, the Sophomores and Juniors receive a training that is adapted to the average capacity of each class, while the Seniors study the fundamental principles of mental and moral philosophy. In at least two respects this department is duplicated nowhere in the South: 1. It offers a two years’ Anglo-Saxon course, followed by a year in Gothic. 2. It offers a course of forty lectures on comparative literature — the only scientific study of literary art, its genesis and genius. 210 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. The following table indicates the average attendance during the years 1903-5: Classes. 1903-4. 1904-5.

A grant of $800.00 per annum would provide a permanent assistant in English, and the work would be done better by a man of experience than by a fellow whose appointment is for only one year. 2. An appropriation of $600.00 would provide the class-room with desks, and other necessary appliances. The writing that is done without the aid or support of a desk is bound to be imperfect. 3. An appropriation of $5,000 would give the students library facilities such as they do not at present enjoy. The public library of Lexington is conducted mainly in the interest of the general public and not with a view to assist college students. Believe me respectfully and faithfully, A. S. Mackenzie. Lexington, Ky., November 20, 1905. James K. Patterson, President : Dear Sir: As this biennial report concerning your Department of Modern Languages comes due, little change has to be mentioned as to the character of the classes and their enrollment. This is a list of the studies offered: Enrollment, 1905. First year of German (taught in two sections) 61 Second year of German 43 First year of French 25 Second year of French 11 Spanish 26 Advanced work in German and French 7 Italian, which our catalogue offers as a substitute for Spanish, was not taught, because the overwhelming majority of the students interested pre- ferred the latter of these languages. The preparation of the students entering our Freshman class (first year STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 211 of German) — and hence also the proficiency attained during collegiate in- struction — again shows a slight, though perceptible, advance over former years. In fact, a number of new matriculates now come to us with a knowl- edge of the elements of German (rarely of French) obtained in preparatory institutions. While this is gratifying, it shows, together with the increased valuation of a knowledge of modern languages throughout the country, that it is high time for us to advance the standard of the work required in our courses. The first step in this direction — one already urged in my last report — naturally would be, that we require a fair reading knowledge in German (attainable, at that age, in a two-years’ course) as an entrance condition to our College. One assistant, exclusively appointed to teach modern languages, might give the necessary instruction (two hours a day) in our Academy, and still lend sufficient aid in the College. I am much pleased to learn that the appointment of such an assistant has been taken under aHvisement. The sum appropriated by the Board of Trustees for this department ($100) was spent, this year, for a proper equipment of the class-room. It will be ample, in the near future, to provide for the necessary additions to the department library, mainly to be used in advanced work. As yet our engineering students receive no training in modern languages. The amount of practical work compressed into the short space of their four-years’ course makes such demands upon their time as to crowd out this branch of education, which would prove very useful to them. This serious deficiency will demand correction at an early opportunity. Nevertheless, the above numbers show that 140 students receive instruc- tion in the required branches of our department (first and second years of German and French), while thirty-three more have registered for a language as an elective study (Spanish, advanced German or French). These numbers would almost warrant the appointment of a second in- structor, even if the additional instruction in the Academy (mentioned above) had not to be provided for. Very respectfully submitted by P. Wernicke, Professor of German and French. Lexington, Ky., November 1, 1905. President James K. Patterson: Dear Sir: I herewith transmit, at your request, report of the Department of Geology and Zoology for collegiate year 1904-5 and fall of 1905. Instruction has been given to students in classes as follows: 212 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. Year 1904-5 Fall of 1905 Zoology, First Term 16 10 Osteology, First Term 3 Jo Geology for Classicals 12 17 Geology for Scientifics 6 Palaeontology, Second Term 6 Geology (Economic), Second Term 23 Zoology (Laboratory), Second Term 23 Zoology (Thesis), Third Term 8 Mineralogy, Third Term 12 The Department of Entomology, formerly in charge of Prof. Garman of the Experiment Station, voluntarily given up by him, has been attached to tjie Department of Zoology and put in charge of Miss McCann, Assistant in that Department. Most of the entomological work comes in the second and third terms, and preparation is being made to handle the increased number of students in the economic phases of this subject which the largely increased matriculation in Agriculture lead us to anticipate. The adding of this department to that of Zoology makes it imperative that at no very distant date an additional room be assigned to Entomology exclusively. A separate building for Mining Engineering, by setting free the lecture-room formerly allotted to the Department of Zoology, would provide this additional space. Also, anything that develops the course in Mining Engineering strengthens the geological side of my work. Respectfully, Arthur M. Miller. Lexington, Ky., November 14, 1905. President James K. Patterson: Dear Sir: Complying with your request for a report of the w^ork done in this College in the Department of Mathematics during the last two years, I respectfully submit the following: The requirements for admission to Freshman class are a thorough knowl- edge of arithmetic, of algebra through quadratic equations as presented in Fisher and Schwatt’s Higher Algebra, and of plane geometry as presented in Book I. to V. in Beman and Smith’s Geometry. Students entering my class from our Academy and from the best high schools and from some private schools are well prepared for College work, but the deficiencies of others are quite marked. The number of well pre- pared students entering my classes is, I am glad to say, gradually increasing. The enrollment by classes for the past two years was as follows: STATE COLLEGE OP KENTUCKY. 213 Freshman. 1903-4. 1904-5. Plane Trigonometry 121 145 Solid Geometry 112 123 Higher Algebra 97 127 Sophomore. 1903-4. 1904-5. Analytics 83 86 Descriptive Geometry 57 63 Calculus 64 57 Junior. 1903-4. 1904-5. Calculus 54 52 Senior. 1903-4. 1904-5. Sph. Trigonometry and Astronomy 36 18 The number of students reciting in a section is generally between twenty- five and thirty. Much better results could be obtained if we had the rooms and instructors to enable me to limit the number of students to fifteen per section. By using appropriations for my department during the past three years, I have purchased a new 8-inch refracting telescope for this institution. It is, I believe, the largest instrument of its kind in our State and it should be housed in a suitable observatory. When mounted, it will, I believe, prove of great service to our students as well as of interest to our friends visiting the College. A small but good observatory will cost from $1,500 to $2,000. I hope our trustees will include this amount in their appeal to our Legislature for money. Respectfully yours, Jas. G. White, Prof, of Mathematics and Astronomy. Lexington, Ky., November 15, 1905. President James K. Patterson: Dear P */: The enrollment of students in scientific work during the past two years is about the same as reported two years ago. As the several professors engaged in scientific work will present in their reports the work done by them and the needs of their respective departments, it is unneces- sary for me to do more than to refer you to their reports. From these you will see that most of our students are doing good work. The excellent positions secured by our graduates is an evidence that they have received careful training in chemistry and in other branches of Science. 214 STATE COLLEGE OP KENTUCKY. A short time after the close of our last’ session, Professor Joseph H. Kastle resigned his position as Professor of Chemistry to accept the position of Director of Chemical Division of Hygienic Laboratory, Washington, D. C. Professor Kastle graduated from this College in 1884 and received his M. S. degree in June, 1886. Two years later he graduated from Johns Hopkins University as Doctor of Philosophy. By his research work in our Chemical Laboratory he soon became one of the leading chemists of our country. His call to such a position in Washington is a just tribute to his worth as a man and as a chemist. During his years of service in this College he was an important factor in its growth. He not only endeared himself in many ways to his fellow professors, but I may safely say that he has the love and admiration of every student who recited to him. Dr. Chase Palmer, also a Ph. D. of Johns Hopkins University, a chemist of experience and ability, as shown by his chemical work in Louisville and afterward in Central University at Danville, Ky., takes Dr. Kastle’s place with us, and he is rapidly giving promise of being a worthy successor to Dr. Kastle. Within the past two years the Experiment Station has been moved to its elegant new building near the College campus. This has relieved the crowded condition of our Chemical Department. The other departments of scientific work have suitable rooms and well-equipped laboratories, except the Department of Physics. Some of the classes in this department are large, and Professor Pence finds it impossible to give such instruction as he desires. Hoping that our Legislature will give us the means to provide ample instruction in this important branch cf science, I am Yours truly, James G. White, Dean. Lexington, Ky., November 1, 1905. President James K. Patterson, State College of Kentucky: Dear Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the Normal Department of the State College of Kentucky for the years 1903-4 and 1904-5.

Total for the year 133 57 NEEDS. A New Building . — This department is at present quartered in two rooms in the Main Building of the College. These quarters are wholly inadequate to the needs of the department. Our Honorable Superintendent of Public Instruction informed me re- cently that last year about one thousand public schools in Kentucky were unable to secure teachers qualified to pass the required examinations for certificate. He estimates from reports already received that probably six hundred schools in the State are going untaught this year for lack of com- petent teachers. Estimating forty pupils to each of these districts (cer- tainly a low estimate), we find ourselves confronted by the appalling fact that to-day 24,000 children in Kentucky are deprived of the privilege of attending school, for the simple reason that competent teachers could not be secured. The citizens of Kentucky are looking to the State College to supply this most urgent need. It can not be done in two or three small rooms. Therefore, the most urgent need of the department is a new build- ing with capacity to meet the demands of the situation. To erect such a building would cost about $40,000, and to equip it properly would cost about $10,000 more. Facilities for Professional Training . — A large majority of the students who 216 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. enter this department have, before coming here, been taught only in the district schools of the State. In many instances the only schools they have ever seen were poorly organized and poorly conducted.' On coming here they enter a department of the College. Consequently they have no oppor- tunity to observe the methods of .conducting the schools which fill the great gap between the rural school and the college, and yet these are the schools in which they are most likely to be engaged to teach when they leave col- lege. To correct this defect there should be established in connection with this department model schools, in which our students may, by observation and practice, become acquainted with the best methods of conducting schools of every kind and grade. It is impossible to organize a successful model school in our present quarters. Hence, the importance of meeting the first need by the erection of a new building so this one may also be satisfactorily met. A Bureau of Appointments . — It is believed that the interests of public education in Kentucky can be greatly promoted by the establishment of a reliable teachers’ bureau in connection witn this department. We are glad to report that arrangements are being made to open such a bureau the first of January, 1906. We expect this bureau to serve as a medium of communication between teachers and school officers and thereby assist in placing our best teachers in' the most responsible positions. Very respectfully, Milford White, Dean of the Normal Department, State College of Kentucky. Lexington, Ky., November 16, 1905. President James K. Patterson: Dear Sir: As Dean of the Classical Faculty and Professor of Greek and Latin, I submit to you, for the Governor and General Assembly of the Com- monwealth, a brief report of the students, studies, aims and needs of the Classical Department for the two years beginning June 1, 1-903, and ending June 1, 1905. Yours respectfully, John H. Neville, Dean and Professor. 1. STUDENTS. Year. Post-Grad. Seniors. Juniors. Soph. Freshmen.

The courses in Latin and Greek are intended to equal in extent, variety and thoroughness those of the best land-grant colleges. The curriculum leading to the classical degree of A. B. embraces Latin, Greek, English, French, German, History, Political Economy, Metaphysics, Mathematics and the elements of Physical Science in Chemistry, Physics, Physiology, Astronomy, Botany, Zoology and Geology; and it is designed to meet the needs of students who are to become teachers, preachers, lawyers, physicians, journalists, writers or scholars, or, it may be, legislators or authors. The degree of A. M. is conferred upon students who, having attained the degree of A. B., pursue a prescribed course of studies for one year in the College or two years elsewhere, and satisfy the faculty by thesis or examina- tion that they are duly proficient. 4. NEEDS. The Classical Department needs what every department of every college and university in the State needs — well-prepared students. It is questionable whether students come to college as well prepared as they came fifty years ago, and it is certain that if the work done in college is ever to be satis- factory in amount and quality, the secondary schools of the State must be greatly multiplied and improved, and that their multiplication and improve- ment will be the result of slow and painful evolution, the colleges constantly and inflexibly insisting on better work in the schools accredited to them. This is the dreary and inevitable prospect before us, unless some enormously rich man shall, with, $20,000,000, establish, throughout the States west and south of Pennsylvania, for each million of people, or even in each State, a school of the type of the Phillips Exeter Academy. He would prove to be 218 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. a far greater educational factor than all the Stanfords and Rockefellers put together, for his benefaction would reach and bless a hundred timers more recipients. Lest some one may suppose that classical learning is dying out, or is deemed of inferior importance, in our practical country, some striking statis- tics are hereto appended: In 1903, the last year reported by the National Com- missioner of Education, there were in 513 colleges, universities and techno- logical schools of the United States 114,130 students; in classical courses 51,152; in other culture courses, 13,605; in general science, 7,397; in mechan- ical engineering, 6,800; in civil, 5,378; in electrical, 3,652; in mining, 2,244; in agriculture, 3,306.

Additions to the equipment which have been set forth in the catalogue, with which you are no doubt, familiar, have been made from the appropria- tion set aside for this department each year. Care has been taken that the apparatus purchased is the best that can be obtained. At the present time we are fully equipped and prepared to give instruc- tion in anatomy and physiology equal to other institutions in the South or West. MEDICAL PREPARATIVE BULLETIN. In June, 1903, a bulletin was issued from the department, outlining a course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, with anatomy and phy- siology as the major study. This course has received a liberal patronage, but nothing like the num- STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 219 ber that is desired. While a good proportion of those matriculating in the science course have selected anatomy and physiology as their major study, there are not as many students taking scientific work as there should be. At a recent meeting of the Kentucky State Medical Society, held in the city of Louisville, I read a paper upon the subject of “College Education Preparatory to the Study of Medicine.” The advantages of the course pre- sented by the State College, which is preparatory to the study of medicine, and set forth in the bulletin, were given in full. This was well received and elicited a lengthy discussion. There was some friendly criticism, but in the main it was approved by the society. RESEARCH. In June, 1905, a bulletin, entitled “The Development of the Bones of the Hand as Shown by the X-ray Method,” was issued from the laboratory of anatomy and physiology. Scientific investigation should be an important feature of this department. While it is our aim to instruct and interest the student, we also attempt to develop an investigating turn of mind and foster the desire for research and original work which has been excited, and encourage the student in this ambition. I have no recommendations to make at the present time. There has been no sickness in the dormitories. The buildings and surroundings are kept in a good sanitary condition. This is evidenced by the continued good health of the students. Respectfully submitted, J. M. Pryor, M. D., Prof. Anatomy and Physiology. Lexington, Ky., October 23, 1905*. President James K. Patterson: Dear Sir: In compliance with your request, I have the honor to submit the following statement of the organization of the Academy, and a sum- mary of the work don© and the results obtained for the two years ending June 1, 1905: Sections 11 and 14 of “An Act to provide for the effective management and administration of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky,” approved May 9, 1893, provide that, “An academy or preparatory department to prepare students for the regular courses of study in the College shall be established and maintained in connection with the College, under a com- petent principal and assistants and under the general supervision and con- trol of the faculty thereof: Provided, that no standard of admission into the academy shall exclude from the benefits of this act county appointees who have completed the course of study prescribed by law for the common schools of the Commonwealth.” 220 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. In accordance with the foregoing, the Board of Trustees has appointed a principal and three assistants, and has approved the following requirements for admission and courses of study: REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. The courses of study in the Academy are provided for those who enter directly from the common schools and are intended to supply the necessary training intermediate between the Freshman class of the College and the course of study prescribed by the State Board of Education for the com- mon schools. Every applicant, to be admitted to the Academy, is required to pass a satisfactory examination in Spelling, Reading, Writing, Geography, History of the United States, English Grammar, and Arithmetic. County appointees must present certificates of appointment, made on actual examination held in pursuance of law by a County Board of Exam- iners, duly appointed for that purpose by the County Superintendent. Applicants from the public schools of Lexington must present certificates from the School Board setting forth that they have completed the Eighth- grade studies. Other applicants must present certificates from their County Superin- tendent, or from the principal of their High School, setting forth that they have completed the common-school course prescribed by the State Board of Education.

Section 14 of the charter provides: “The selection of the beneficiaries shall be made by the superintendents of the common schools in their re- spective counties, upon competitive examination, on subjects prepared by the Faculty of the College, and transmitted to said superintendents before the first day of June of each year. “Preference shall be given, other things being equal, to those who have passed with credit through the public schools, persons of energy and in- dustry, whose means are small, to aid whom in obtaining a good education this provision is intended. It shall be the duty of the County Superintendent to make known the benefits of this provision to each school district under his superintendency, with the time and place, when and where such com- petitive examination shall be held. He shall, for this purpose, appoint a board of examiners, whose duty it shall be to conduct the examination.” The Ferguson Act of March 21, 1902, imposing a penalty on County Superintendents who fail to perform the duties required of them under the section recited above, has already borne good fruit. Since the law became operative, the quality and preparation of the county appointees who have applied for admission to the Academy are far better than they were before the law was passed. Respectfully, Walter Kennedy Patterson, Principal. President James K. Patterson, Ph. D., LL. D ., President of the A. and M. College, Lexington, Ky.: Dear Sir: I submit herewith the biennial report of the Experiment Station for the report to the Legislature, being from July 1, 1903, to July 1, 1905. The Experiment Station is a department of the State College. The Board of Trustees of the College has general charge of its affairs. This Board appoints annually a committee, called the Board of Control, to take im- mediate charge. The work of the Station is done by the Station staff. Its members consist of the following: President of the College. M. A. Scovell, Director and Chemist. A. M. Peter, Chemist. H. E. Curtis, Chemist. H. Garman, Entomologist and Botanist. *J. N. Harper, Agriculturist. W. H. Scherffius, Chemist. R. M. Allen, Secretary Food Division. J. D. Turner, Secretary. J. O.

Averitt, Assistant Chemist. *D. W. May, Animal Husbandman. O. M. Shedd, Assistant Chemist. *G. In. Keller, Assistant Entomologist and Botanist. Since the last report a new Station building has been erected. The building was completed early in 1905, and we are now comfortably quartered in it. Under the crowded condition of our old quarters it was difficult to do satisfactory work. We had two small chemical laboratories for research work, for fertilizer analysis and for food control work. Our books were stacked for want of shelf room, making our library almost useless. Several of our Station force were without offices. This condition had existed for the last few years, and the difficulties grew more each year as the work of the Station increased. The work of preparing the farm for experimental purposes is nearly completed, and we have now a considerable amount under experiment. In order to carry on the work of the Station systematically, the work has been divided into the following divisions: Division of Correspondence. Division of Chemistry. Division of Entomology and Botany. Division of Horticulture. Division of Agriculture. Division of Animal Husbandry. Division of Fertilizer Control Work. Division of Food Control Work. Under these heads the Station is doing work for the farmers of the State in various ways. It is endeavoring to keep in touch with them by corres- pondence. The farmers send in inquiries, and the Station takes pains to give them all information at its command. The inquiries cover a large and varied field. Probably the greatest number, however, are in regard to the improvement of tne soils, closely followed by inquiries about injurious in- sects and diseases of plants. The Station is, and has been for several years, making a careful study of the soils of the State in order to show the farmers how their soils may become more fertile. In order to do this, careful experiments have been carried on in different parts of the State with the farmers to show what the soils in certain sections really needed to restore them to their original fertility. Some positive results have been obtained. For instance, it has been shown conclusively that in the bluegrass region where the soil is worn it needs most of all potash to restore its fertility, and some instances potash and nitrogen, but the phosphoric acid is in sufficient quantity in our bluegrass soils. In the southern part of Ken- tucky, as in southern Christian county, the soil has been found to be deficient in phosphoric acid; while in some sections of the State all three of the Resigned to take better positions. 224 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. essential fertilizer ingredients, namely — nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, are needed to increase the productiveness of the soils, and, if used intelli- gently, can be applied profitably to such soils. The Station recommends that where nitrogen is needed a careful rota- tion of crops will bring about renewed fertility of soils — one of the rotations to be clover, cow peas or alfalfa, as clover and leguminous plants, in gen- eral, are able to gather the nitrgen from the atmosphere and give it to the soils for future crops. In all cases it has been shown that the rotation of crops is essential to permanent soil fertility, but of course it is not al- ways necessary that this rotation be made in order to supply plant food, as, for instance, a soil that needs phosphoric acid can receive this by using bone or acid phosphate, but if the fertilizer be applied continually from year to year on the same crop, the physical condition of the soil becomes such that the crops do not grow well, in spite of the fact that they may have plenty of plant food. Consequently, our experiments have demonstrated that where artificial fertilizers are used, either to supply phosphoric acid, or nitrogen, or potash, or any two or all three of them, a judicious rotation of crops is essential to produce best results. The question of soil fertility is of the greatest importance, and the Station realizes that it will take years to reach the results desired with the funds at its disposal, and at present it will be impossible to do the work as rapidly as we wish it might be done. The Station has called the attention of the farmer also to the waste products that may be used as manure, as tobacco stems and other waste products of the farm. It has recommended, from time to time, that the best possible way to give and maintain the fertility of the soil is to feed the products of the farm on the farm rather than sell them off of the farm; that where the products are fed to cattle, either for beef or dairy, there is very little soil fertility removed from the soil, and where a large number of animals are kept on a farm, so that the farmer is compelled to buy bran, corn and fodder to feed the animals, such farms are being enriched con- tinually, if the manure is preserved and judiciously applied. The Department of Entomology and Botany has been of great benefit to the farmers in preventing the ravages of insects and the destruction of crops by fungus diseases. A large quantity of chinch bug fungus has been distributed, and this distribution has now extended over six years. In many cases reports have come in of the good effects of this fungus. Almost daily, specimens of weeds, grasses and insects have been sent here for iden- tification. All such specimens have been examined and the parties sending them have been given all the information possible. Not only the name of the specimen is given, but if the specimen is injurious to crops, the best method of destroying or eradicating the same is fully discussed for the bene- fit of the party sending the sample. In the chemical division, the samples of minerals, clays, rocks of various kinds, waters and fertilizers which are sent by the farmers, are identified free of charge. In the case of mineral waters, we examine the sample to see whether they have mineral properties or not, but we do not determine the amount of each ingredient unless it is of public benefit. FOUNDRY. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 225 On the farm the station is carrying on series of experiments endeavor- ing to improve the wheat plant, especially as to its yield and quality as a flour producer. Repeated experiments have shown that a careful selection of wheat heads from year to year and the selection of the best kernels in these heads will produce increased yields and quality. The same experiments are being made with corn. These are being car- ried on in coperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. The results along this line obtained by the various stations in the corn belt have shown that corn will readily respond as to yield by a judicious selection of seed. It has been shown that in general farmers lose much every year by carelessness in selecting seed corn. The time will come, I believe, when the station will be asked to determine the germinating quality of the seed corn in the State. It has been shown that of two ears selected from the same field and planted under the same conditions in the same soil, one will produce much the greater yield. Then how important it is for the farmer to select his seed corn. It is confidently believed that the farmers of the State would save thou- sands of dollars every year if they would scientifically select and plant only the very best corn as seed. Another plant which is responding rapidly to scientific treatment is tobacco. The tobacco plant is very susceptible to improvement by the judic- ious. and careful selection of seed. Enough experiments have been made to conclude that if care is taken in order to self fertilize good plants in a to- bacco field, the seeds of such self-fertilized plants will produce the same quality of tobacco as the parent "plant. Whereas, if the seed is not self fertilized, an inferior plant may be produced. The station is making many ex- periments in this line. Kentucky raise a large portion of the tobacco of the country, but the average price is far below what it should be on account of the quality produced. Our study so far shows that the farmer gives very little attention to raising a good quality of tobacco. Beside the work of the station proper, it has charge of the enforcement of four enactments of the Kentucky Legislature. 1. An act regulating the sale of fertilizers in the State. 2. An act regulating the manufacture and sale of the foods in the State. 3. Inspection of nursery stock in the State. 4. Inspection of seeds. THE FERTILIZER CONTROL WORK. The fertilizer control work is of much importance to the State, and I am pleased to state that the regulation as to the sale of fertilizer is well un- der control. We have no complaints as to the manner of the enforcement of the law, and few as to inferior goods. In order to make thorough in- spection, we do not depend upon the samples sent here by the manufac- turers, but send inspectors in the various parts of the State to take samples in the hands of the retail merchants, or sometimes from the wagons as they are sold to the farmers. These samples are analyzed and the results are published in the form of a bulletin giving the name of the fertilizer, the 226 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. name and address of the manufacturer, from whom obtained, the guaranteed analysis, the amount found of each fertilizer ingredient and the estimated value per ton. If any sample falls below the guaranteed analysis, attention is called to the fact in the bulletin. The income from the fertilizer control work in 1903 was $15,976.50; for 1904, $18,040.30. In 1903, the number of tags issued was 659,734; in 1904, 636,284. There have been over 50 samples sent in by the farmers for analysis during the two years. The total number of analyses made was 720. THE FOOD CONTROL WORK. The new work which the act of 1898 presented, with no precedent rules to guide its organization, is being brought under an effective sytem as to our knowledge of the manufacture and distribution and adulteration of food increases. We are now beginning to get substantial results. By strict en- forcement of the law, coloring matter and antiseptics have been taken out of fruits and vegetable products. The elimination of coloring matter and antiseptics from these products means that Kentucky is getting jellies, catsups and canned stuffs made from fresh, ripe materials instead of stored pulp, starch, cores, peelings, or the green and sometimes the rotten fruits and vegetables from which it is possible to make such products when coal tar dyes and preservatives are used. Formerly, most of our honeys were adulterated, but now there is scarcely an instance of adulterated honey in the market, and better grades of New Orleans and sorghum molasses are found in the Kentucky markets. Each regular inspection of the milk supply of the State shows the effect of the enforcement of the law. In our first inspections, we found many samples of milk containing formaldehyde, freezine and iceine and other preservatives, and many samples that were colored and looked like milk or cream which often had less than 2 per cent, fat in them. Now our inspectors rarely find watered milk or skimmed milk sold as milk. Heretofore, we have found sausage, ham and cured meats of all kinds containing boracic acid, but lately the packers have agreed to eliminate boracic acid from the meats sent into Kentucky. This is certainly a triumph for the food law. It means the elimination of all but the best meats, as only the best cured meats can be preserved without the addition of antiseptics. The labeling provision of the Kentucky pure food .law was a wise enact- ment. The manufacturers sometimes dispute the attributed reason for using coal tar dyes and antiseptics as to the effect of these substances upon health, but they have been unable to show any reason why the consumer should not know it whenever these substances are used. It has been difficult at all times to enforce this provision of the law, and some of the manufacturers try to evade it by giving the information in technical terms or small type, and often inserting it in the body of other reading matter. The station insists that all labeling must be plain so as to be readily understood by the average purchaser. In this we have been upheld by the courts. During the year of 1904, 465 samples, and in 1905, 671 samples, were taken for analysis. Three hundred samples collected in 1903 were analyzed STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 227 in 1904, and, in addition to the samples collected, 49 samples were sent to the station for analysis by consumers, making 814 samples enalyzed in 1904, of which 221 were found to be adulterated. Of the 671 sample collected in 1905 for analysis, 392 have been completed. Out of the 392 samples, 102 were found to be adulterated and so were reported to the Commonwealth attorneys over the State. The results show that there is a large decrease in the percentage of adul- teration. This summary is given as an example of the work. As required by law, a detail report of the work is in preparation to be submitted to the Governor. INSPECTION OF NURSERY STOCK IN THE STATE. Professor Garman has charge of the inspection of the nursery stock in the State. Only expenses are allowed by the State for this work. Professor Garman’s salary is paid out of the Federal fund and the Department of Agri- culture which has supervision of the Federal funds, is of the opinion that Pro- fessor Garman should not give directly his time to the inspection of the nursery stock, as the Federal fund from which his salary comes is for the purpose of investigation rather than inspection. The law therefore in re- gard to the inspection of nursery stock of the State should be changed and, if the State desires that this work should be continued, an appropriation should be made to pay an assistant to help do this work. INSPECTION OF SEEDS. The last Legislature has passed a law in regard to the inspection of seeds and placed its enforcement in the hands of the Experiment Station, but pro- vided no funds for the inspection. The station, however, has undertaken the work without funds specially appropriated for this purpose and in 1904 examined 119 samples. In 1905, 281 samples were collected, making a total of 400 samples since the law went into effect. Most of the samples have been found to be adulterated. The law, as it stands, is very imperfect, but the results of our work have shown the necessity of having the seeds of the State examined. PUBLICATIONS. The station publishes from time to time bulletins giving the results of the station’s work and sends them to every citizen of the State who may express a desire of receiving them. Our mailing list is increasing contin- ually and it is hoped that the time will come wdien at least 50,000 farmers of the State may receive these bulletins. The following bulletins have been published since July 1, 1903: Bulletin No. 108. — Some Results in Steer Feeding. Bulletin No. 109. — Commercial Fertilizers.

As stated heretofore in this report, one of the greatest problems before the Experiment Station is the matter of soil fertility. This subject has been receiving the attention of the Experiment Stations in the North and West, and the Legislature of Illinois, at its last session, appropriated $40,000 to the Experiment Station for the purpose of making a very thorough soil sur- vey of the State. Iowa has also made a large appropriation for the support of the Experiment Station in this work; so has Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri. The soils of Kentucky have been longer under cultivation than the States above mentioned, and we find that our soils in many instances do not pro- duce as good crops as they formerly did. If Kentucky is to keep apace with the agricultural States, she must learn to improve her soils in modern ways. This station is doing all it can possibly do with the funds at present available. We have always given much attention to this work, but the de- mand for it has increased beyond our ability to meet it. Within the last two years, we have made nearly one hundred analyses of soils from various parts of the State; some results have been striking. The State should be divided into various divisions and in each division should be a sub-station for the purpose of studying the soil fertility. Illinois has undertaken this work in this w^ay. The principal work, as analysis of soils, etc., is carried on at the Experiment Station proper, but the field experiments, under charge of thoroughly competent Experiment Station men, are carried on in various parts of the State. If there could be $10,000 available a year for this work, I believe in a short time we would be able to obtain results which would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to the State. In connection with the fertilizer control work, we can do some of this work. If there are no other funds available, we can at least put one man in charge who should devote his whole time in the study o# fertilizers in the various geological formations of the State, but heretofore it has been impossible to do this, as the money was needed to put up build- ings and to buy land for the station. We are now in a position to devote more time to this special feature of our work. With modern methods of STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 229 chemical analysis, much can be learned by chemical investigation on soils, but to be of value such soils should be typical. A soil survey of the State, in connection with the geological survey, would be of great help, especially if soil samples could be taken by one of our men accompanying a geologist who can give all of the detail as to the geological formation. Nothing helps more than a careful geological survey, and I would suggest that in the appropriation for the geological survey, provision be made for this work. 2. I would recommend that the inspection of the nursery stock law be so amended as to provide sufficient funds for the expense of a thorough in- spection and an assistant to assist in the work. It is impossible for Pro- fessor Garman to give the time to it that is necessary. 3. The law in regard to the inspection of seeds should be enlarged. It should cover the adulteration of all seeds and the germination qualities also; and provision should be made in the law for expenses necessary to carry on the work. 4. The fertilizer and food laws are working satisfactorily and I would make no suggestion as to changes in them, except possibly that there should be a separate law in regard to cattle feed. While our present food law covers this in some respect, it is not explicit enough. Many States have passed cattle feed laws. From our work here it is evident that it is necessary to inspect cattle feed, especially the mixed feeds. We found in many instances where bran was adulterated with corn-cob meal and being sold as bran. A striking example of this was found in Elizabethtown. A certain firm bought a mixed feed from a Louisville firm and sold it as bran. It was properly labeled when it left Louisville, and even in the store of the seller, but when a dairyman or farmer called for bran, this mixed feed was given him and, just before it was delivered, the tags were torn off the sacks. This is only one of many instances we have discovered during the last year. From the results of our work, I believe we should have a separate law covering the sale of stock feeds in this State.

Military Department A. & M. College. Lexington, Ky., November 30, 1905. To the President A. and M. College: Sir: I have the honor to render the following report of the Military Department of this Colege for the period ending June 30, 1905. Captain George L. Byroade, U. S. Army, retired, was the officer detailed at this College by the War Department during the period 1902 to 1904; under his supervision the battalion of cadets was organized and the officers ap- pointed in the fall of 1903. The Military Department was inspected in May, 1904, by Captain John W. Barker, Third U. S. Infantry, detailed from the army for the purpose. In the latter part of May, the battalion under Captain Byroade went to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition for a period of two weeks at slight cost to each cadet. It was, on the whole, beneficial, as most of those who thus visited the Exposition would probably not otherwise have seen it. Captain Byroade was relieved from duty at this institution the latter part of July, 1904, and the undersigned detailed by the War Department August 4, 1904. I arrived in Lexington August 21, 1904, and, upon the opening of the College, entered upon my duties. The battalion was organized and the of- ficers appointed after some delay, owing to the fact that I was a stranger and was not acquainted with their capabilities. The discipline of the institution has been very good, but one case of in- subordination having occurred, ihe cadet being suspended. The general con- trol of the younger cadets has been an easy task, and I look for no trouble in the future. The battalion was inspected by Captain R. B. Parrott, Twenty-seventh U. S. Infantry, detailed from the army for that duty, on May 17, 1905. It is desired to make the military feature of this College a training school for the officers of the organized militia and as an adjunct to the National Guard of the State. To that end closer relations should be culti- vated with the headquarters of the National Guard and more and greater rec- ognition accorded the graduates of this institution, who have held commis- sioned offices in the cadet battalion. The first step has already been taken, a list having been furnished the Adjutant General of the State, at his request, containing the names of all recent graduates of the College now residing in the State who, while cadets, were officers in the battalion. The course as now laid out for the officers will cover in recitation and lecture work the following books: Infantry Drill Regulations, Manual of Guard Duty, Army Regulations, Firing Regulations for Small Arms, Field Service Regulations, U. S. Army, and a typical campaign. It is earnestly recommended that if possible recognition for the graduated cadets be obtained by conferring upon them the honorary rank of captain by brevet in the National Guard of the State. Very respectfully, W. B. Burtt, First Lieut. Fifth U. S. Infantry. Professor of Military Science and Tactics, Commandant. STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. 239 Lexington, Ky., November 26, 1905. President James K. Patterson, State College of Kentucky: Dear Sir: I have the honor to submit to you the following report of the Department of Physical Training for the past two years. On account of the broad scope of physical education, this brief report can be no more than a summary, but it is hoped that what is said will be more or less indicative of the daily work of the department. At the beginning of the collegiate year, each new student is subjected to an examination by the Medical Adviser in order to ascertain whether or not he is physically able to enter the work. If eligible, he is then subjected to another physical examination by the physical director. This examination includes strength tests, measurements, family history, etc., as indicated on the card inclosed. After this examination, he is assigned to a regular class for physical training and special exercise is prescribed, in case it is needed. Records are kept for attendance and proficiency, a certain standard being required. The work is conducted along scientific lines with a view to the drawing out of latent physical powers- and the development of all. The physiological and psychological effect of the various exercises being known, the principle of “gymnastic selection” has been applied throughout. It has been the policy of the department in all competitive sports to place the rational education of the body above victory, to discourage the “to win” idea and to encourage the “sport for sport’s sake” idea in ath- letics and games. We believe and teach that the aim of the department is mainly three fold: First, physical, developing strength, grace, activity, an erect carriage and manly bearing, steadiness of motion, accuracy of motion, and the correction of anatomical deformities; second, physiological, strength- ening and normalizing the various organs and promoting harmony in the exercise of their various functions, which condition is health; third psycho- logical, affording opportunity for recreation and developing attention, judg- ment, discrimination, etc. Aside from these, the ethical, moral and social benefits are not forgotten nor overlooked. Toward such ends we have la- bored and such results are we accomplishing. Hence, we endeavor to make victory or defeat in competitive work secondary and incidental rather than an end in itself. By prescription of special exercise, we have paid special attention to the correction of such physical deformities as flat or narrow chest, round or stooping shoulders, curvature of the spine, protruding hips, poking chin, and obesity, and in curing, relieving or preventing such functional dis- orders as constipation, stomach troubles, nervous affections, heart troubles and consumption. Along these lines, physical training is mainly preven- tive. Much of the good effect of the work can not be seen. Who can tell how many diseases have been presented and how much time and money has been saved to the students? By means of the department, students have been enabled to successfully acquire a college education who otherwise would never have been able to do so on account of tendencies to certain diseases. But it has done more, for many of such students have been sent out as 240 STATE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. graduates with even a better physical basis for life’s work than when they entered. We feel that for our farmer boys (of whom a large per cent, of our student body is composed), who have always been accustomed to an active out-door life, it were fatal to their future usefulness in life to change their environment so entirely and suddenly by cooping them up within the walls of the class rooms for months without offering them opportunities for physical exercise, and even making it compulsory upon them to take it. We also feel that it is just as important for the city-raised boy. While one unaccustomed to physical activity could probably stand the strain of ac- quiring an education better than the first class ; yet they would go from col- lege with a stooping figure, pale faces, cold extremities, weak hearts, dis- ordered stomachs and wrecked nervous systems, when they should be in the prime of a vigorous physical manhood. We have put blood into their cheeks, fresh air into their lungs, and have given tone to their nerves. Such work has been given as would benefit all, but special attention has been paid to those most imperfect physically. Class attendance has been above the average in institutions of this kind, and the large number of daily voluntary workers has been gratifying. The work this year has opened even more auspiciously than heretofore and we expect to make this department more and more a factor for good each year, as we have done in the past. Assuring you of our best service and thanking you for your earnest cooperation, I have the honor to remain Your obedient servant, W. W. H. Mustaine, Physical Director. Lexington, Ky., July 11, 1905.
