THE COLLEGE BUILDINGS.
Kendall Green is an Incorporated institution.
its foundation dating back to the year 1857,
when Congress passed an act CT incorporation.
At first the institution was designed to give
free education to the deaf children Of parents
residing in the District Of Columbia or con-
nected with the army or navy. Since then, in
response to a pressing demand for more ad-
vanced education for the deaf. collegiate de-
partment was organized, and in 1864 Congress
amended the original act and conferred au-
thority upon the institution to confer collegiate
degrees. Two departments were formed, and
the advanced department is known as the
National Deaf Mute College The object in es-
tabllshing school of this grade. thus taking a
step unprecedented in the history of deaf mute
instruction, was in part to prove what had been
doubted by some, that persons deprived wholly
or in part Of hearing and speech could in spite
OF their disability, engage successfully in
the advanced tudies pursued in col
leges for the hearing. The more
important end in view, however. was to afford
to class of persons in the community. already
numerous and increasing steadily with the
population. an opportunity to secure the ad-
vantages of rigid and thorough course OF in
tellectual training in the higher walks of
literature and the liberal arts.
The hberality of Congress toward the institu-
ton has been marked and uniform Within
week after the formal public Inauguration of
the collegiate department an appropriation of
10000 was made for the addition of fourteen
acres to the grounds of the institution, the pur-
chase so provided for including temporary
buildings for the accommodation Of the college
The year following $4,000 was appropriated
for the erection of dormitory building. Two
years later (ls6O provision was made for be-
ginning the central building, designed to con-
tain public hall and refectories for both de-
partments Of the institution. This building
was completed in 1870, at n cost of about $780,
600. In the meantime two commodious dwell
ing houses had been erected for officers of the
college, and a further addition of three acres
made to the grounds.
In 1872 and 1874 Congress made appropria-
tions, amounting to more than $50. 900, for the
purchase of the beautiful country seat OF the
late Amos Kendall, comprising eighty acres of
land. and adjoining on two sides the grounds
previously owned by the institution With
this addition the domain of the institution.
which is called Kendall Green. embraces 100
acres. all lying within two miles of the Capitol
and on the immediate northern boundary Of
the city.
