COMMITTEE PuRLIc FpUCAr1oS,
New Orleans, February II, 1876.
o the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
Your committee have had under consid-
ration Senate bill No. 80. entitled an act to
mite the Louisiana State University, as now
established and located near Alexandria,
L the parish OF Rapides, and the Agricul-
ural and Mechanical College, as now es-
ablished aud located in the parish of St.
'ernard, into one and the same institution
learning, to be known and designated
nder the name and title of the Louisiana |
tate University, and to establish and locate
ne same at Baton Rouge, in the parish of
.ast Baton Rouge, and herewith submit a
ubstltute therefor, and respectfully recon-
lend the passage thereof, and for the fol.
owing reasons:
Your committee believe that the passage
f an act which would, as Senate bill No.
proposes to do, merge the Louisiana
.grlculturai and Mechanical College with
Le Louisiana State University, would VIC
ate the provisions of the act of Congress,
pproved July ,, 1862, under and by virtue
which the Agricultural and Mechan-
al College derives its land grant
md. That such union as proposed
-ould therefore cause the forfeiture
} the United States of said fund,
nd defeat the very objects sought to be OBJ
aimed by the bill, and plunge both institu-
OnS into irrpVOcable ruin
Your committee believe that by removing
10 location of the Agricultural and Ne
hanical College to Baton Rouge, and rem
ering necessary the resale of it's property
cquired in st. Bernard parish for an ex-
erlmental farm, loss would be sustained
