College Of Kentucky met June 9th, and
continued in session two days. The re-
ports submitted covered the most pros
perous.year..in the history of the insti-
tuition.
In 1873, when the College was Ide-
tachedEby1 the Legislature fromx
connection with KentuckyE University,
the matriculation for the whole year
amounted TO only seventy-eight. The
catalogue issued for the year 1866
shows an enrolment Of 8l5. During
the Intervening period. the attendance
has increased: more than ten-fold.s Its
courses Of study have multiplied, its
teaching staff in corresponding proper
tons, and instead Of graduating small
classes Of one. two and three, II has
for years past, graduated an average
Of not less than sixty-fve each year.
II now possesses real estate consisting
Of College grounds, farm buildings and
equipment. amounting to $3.50, 900.
All It's Departments are well manned
and doing excellent work.
A report was submitted by a com
mission consisting Of the President. the
Director Of the Station. the Chairman
Of the Board Of Trustees. and three
members OF the Board. who visited. a

University Of Illinois, and the Uniyer-
sity OF Wisconsin. II was shown that
the State College Of Kentucky. with a
much less income. Is doing work equal
IN degree. though not IN quantity. to
any OF its sister institutions. The re-
port brought out the humiliating fact
that the annual income OF the tate
College is much less than that Of any
other land grant college in the west or
north. For example. the income Of the
Ohio State University, founded under
the same act OF Congress. is $3.50. 600,
the annual income Of the Illinois Uni
versity $4,000. the annual income Of
the University OF Wisconsin 500, 900.
