made by the people generally.
The plan would not give satisfaction
The conclusion reached was that sepe-
rate institution, devoted exclusively to
agriculture would best meet the want of
the state. He gave his own view of
what an agricultural college ought 10
be. 1t should not be free to all without
expense, but an institution that men
would be willing TO patronize and pay
for. ......
Mr. Lane of Cornwall was opposed to
the reconsideration of the vote in ques-
tion because the bill repealed did not
propose TO carry out the true idea of an
agricultural college, or the design OF
Congress In donating the land, To unite
the agricultural institution with clas-
steal institution would be to lessen its
scope and value as an agricultural in
stitution. Experience had shown that
such anion was not desirable. The
classical overshadowed and depressed
the agricultural department. OF three
hundred and tifty-two agricultural col
leges in Europe only fourteen were con-
nected with universities, and these were
but little known. In Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, New York, and other
states, there were established, or about
being established, separate agricultural
colleges. The fair inference was that
such institutions should be disconnect-
ed from any other leading interest. He
gave at some length his own views of
what the institution should be; and dis
cussed at length various agricultural
matters bearing on the question under
consideration. .. .......
Mr. Keith of Northfield said that the
act of Congress contemplated institu-
tions where agriculture should be the
leading interest. The bill repealed pro-
posed to unite an agricultural college
department with others, not as first, or
second, but third,-because Vermont
University had already medical depart
ment as second That was the whole
argument; and the vote repeating the
act of last year ought not to be recon-
sidered.
Mr. Dolph of Warren moved the pre-
vious question and it was ordered.
Mr. Wires of Underhill, demanded the
yeas and nays:-yeas 81, nays 158.
So the House refused to reconsider.
