Report of the President of the Agricult.ural aoo Mechanical College submitted at the annual r.Jeeting of the Board of Directors held in the CollaeeBuildingJulyJ:l, 1.87). Gentlelllentof t he Board of Directorsf Auburn, Alabama July,l87) The secord 58ssion of the A. &: M. Colleee of Alabama now closing, opened on the lst of January last un:Ier circumstances of peculiar diseourage!lll'lnt. The college was in debt - the faculty unpaid - its nnancial reoources undet.9nnined. We had 00 desk. or other furniture suited to the wants of the students and no money to buy with. For the first week or two , Cadets C8!'le in slowly - even those in Auburn lar;ged behind. ~arraS:ll:lcnts unparalled in the histo ry of our pcople oppressed the land and ewrything wore an aspect cheerless and dreary. The officers of the College addrossed thenselves to tlx! d1fficulttask =~:s~em arxl by patience and coura". . have achieved an encouraging The action of the Boardatitslastllleetingtogotherwiththepersevcrine effort~ of your treasurer has resulted in a rlaterial imprCl'lBlllllnt of the financialcordi\:'ionofthacollege. One hundred and three sbJ.dent" haw been tBtriculated within the session of seven !'!!Onths. Tho avera!,:e attendance has been abou\:. 95, comparing very favorably in this respect with tha older institutions of tha state. The discipline of the College has been excellent an::!. the procress of tre stUdents generaJ.l,y satisfactory. IJ.NDS All! BUIWI1(lS. The offer of the East AlaballlQ College and of citizens of Auburn to the state included the College Buildings and two hundred acros ofland - thirteenacresofland,onwhichthecollece st.andstogetherwith saventy- five acres lying aboat three fourths of a mile Southwest of the Building, have been deeded t.o the A &: M Collegg . A subscription of twelve acrns of 11ll'Xi llIade by a cUhen of Auburn by my advice was exchaneed for one acred and the building thereon adjoinin(l the colleee COums. '!he ColleE" has tJ1us received the equivalent of one hundred acroe of land. It was un:Ierstood that Mr. Adrian Frazer WJuld e;!.ve the reJllllinin(: one hurdred acres to the CellaE" and on this subs.:ription the pled{;e of two hundred acres was I'\ade to the gt"te. It >ms afterwards ascertained that Mr. Frazer wa!! Willin.:: to eive only the right of use of such lam. A!! these lands from their distance and other consideration could not at present be ma.de avaUable, no action wa5 taken to perfect the arrangement. It was preferred to refer the whola mattor to the BOard. The seventy five acres purchased by Citizen" of Auburn for t.I)e Celle!,:e are not united to its wants. At the last 1118etill3 of the Board, it was stated that the individuall<lho acted as aeent for the citizenll of Auburn in the purchasa oftheselarrl!l hadaereedtotak eth!!mfrol!ltheColleeeattl)f: ~prlce paidforthem . Actineun:ierinstructionsfrO!.ltheBoardandre~upontheir provision, your treasurer proceeded to bareain for the lands desired for the Colleee. A.rter it vu too lat!'! in good faith to 1101119 of the partiee troll! whoI'! wch lAnds W()re purchased to recede troll! the contracts, he l earned that the individual upon wbc>80 proI'llise he had 00 eonr1dmtly relied, was u nw:l.lline to take the la~s purchased by him tor the Coller:e at /!lOre than one fifth Uleircost. 1 careful oonsiderat.ion of the Wlole question brought us to tm COlle&'O to ooneludetho purehaseandthecontractsweroacC()!"'d1nglyco~leted . This vas done With mluctmlce as it d1Jo.inished over lUdte<l l118ans and prevented us trom makillll such ilTIprovel'lents as vere UeatJ.y meded. The land purchased by your TreaS'llrer a short d1stance to the eouthwest ot the Coll.e~ bi1l.dill,'; turn1shed the but location tor a S!W.l.l tanl convenient to the instiwtion. As it NY btl desirable to have SOI!Ie other lams lyin& adjacent to these and u these lands III&Ybc thrown upon the IIIIlrket at a tille when i t h impossible to have ~diate .ction by the Board, it is n\COJaended that the Tmasurer of the College with thlt advice of t he President and Ull approval at the Pl-esident at the Board of Director s be empowered to lIIake purchases at land not to elCC&ed one hundred acres. COIJ.EG1" FA:~. It is des1£ned to devote the lands recentl,y pu.rehased to the purpose of an e"f)erinental f ara. i'!Ost of the ground which had not beon in rultivation tor SOllie years has been planted in cotton with the viev of prepar!ne it to begin operations tlUs tall. $)ne crasses am fO I"a11l plants have been tried, but the seaoon was 90 tar ad"anced berore tho ooU could be prepared thDt but little wne elCJ>!'!ct.ed frolll than. They hue fully r<lalized our eXpectations. The lands in rear of the collega bu1ld1ncs Will ba set 1n tr.,~ and planted in trees and shrubbery, tlms NkinE tho. a pleasant addition to the campua. The spot just north or the collelle nov under cultivation 1s designed tor a stlall flovor garden in ltdch it is hoped the studentll will take no little interest. A considerable su:a Il1ll be needed the cOJ:U.ne lI.utunn to bep,n the uperilllent.al farm itlpllBents, seeds terlUU6r", twoo (pod JII\lle.s or horses - everythil\8 necessary to equip a sr:a.l.l t'rnll'Wst be purchased. The Boud 1:1 a.sked to appropriate at least t,1IIl toousand dollars tor the purpose. ADDITIOUAI. PROFE~li:)RS{IPS . Next year tlw;J 19riC'llltural depcrlment will :roquire all wor k thl! full tin03 or II proflt3sor . If it h oontemplated by the Bo.rd 1.0 continue the dutlos of t.hb chair in connectionvith tOO3e of Prnsidont or the college, it vill be neceaauy to releaM that officer of a.ll other duties of i nstruction. A Professor or Enelilil Uterature is greatly needed in the COllege • .in assistant Pl'ot esllOr of Physical Sciencea who should teach draving would Ilreatly pl'OIDOh thll efticioney of the faculty. 'Ihe labor of the COnnandant who in addition to the duties of that ottice ltall been teaching tour clasMa; sivinc instruction to tventy-nim yannI': lllan in the Ene1neeru. course has been &reat and it 18 recOlDended to allov thia ottica add1tional compensation. As Professor O. D. Smith haa pe r £on:aed an 3fIIount of labor fully equal to that. of other professors, it is hoped the Board will allow him the SaJ:18 salary, both for the past. session and tor the future . His continued connection with the in:lt1tution is vcry desirable. 'i'he College o\lf)1t to have a librarian .mose principal duty for the present would be the collection of hooks . MaJ1y works of gr'lIst. value could be obtained from the U. S. Govern'Dent and from prlvate Slurces by an efficient officer with comparatively little expense tc the Colleee. If t!:tl.s duty were enforced upon tho Secretary of tho Board of Directors, giving hila such co;npensation for it as mieht be door.l8d proper, it would btl perhaps the Illest efficient and ecol'lOl!!ical arrangement that could be =de. The faculty have referred to the Board cerlain rules, defining t he duties and powers of till! President am the Cor.wandant, which Will be GUbmitt.ed for your consideration. A source of sorno embarrllSsmont. might be r~oved if the Board would def1~ the duties of the President in arother Te"'P8ct. When in the absence of chargesagaill$t an offieerof the College , t.he President of the Colleee should conclude that the best interest of the institution would be 1l'Uhserved by his removal in how far does dut.y require that he should JDake known to the Board lIIlch conclusions. His duty t.o the College might sor.wtimes seem to conflict ldth the duties growing out of his personal relations to other of ficers of till Institution. PUliS FOR TIlE lo'UTUltE. The history of the movement which rewlted in the establbmant by the Congress of the Uw-ted States of Agricultural and KecMnical Colleges shov that the leading design vas to oonefit the Agri_ cultural intarflsts of the country. This interest of OUr state n9(!ds the greatest assistance. A double duty thus descends upon us to mice this the leadine feature of the Colle!:,! but ve are I'J3t in theso endeavor s by /llany and fo~idable dHficulties. Men of letters such as usually improve colleee faculties rarely have my knowledge of or taste fo r aer1cultural pursuits. There is dan.,>(lr in every s\l::h institution that tha Agricultural Oepartillent ~ aither be strane;led or starved by those who are expected to be its nurses or guardians . There is also a prejudice in the minds of many agriculturalists llC:IIinst what they call "Book Faming" and a misconception of the scope an:! design of A&ricultural Colleges which lead them to u:rlervalue if not to despise their advantages. The depressed coniition of the country renders it allIIost 1IIlpossible for many of those who am engaged 1n aericulture to !live tlE1r SQM a full collee;l.ate course. The gNat majority of such parent:! vho are able do not desire their sons tobecorne a¢culturbts. Under these cirC'.lfI!st31ces, I submit ldth diffidence and 50II1II dO'l1bt as to its wisdom but as the best that can probably be done for this depart.aent the following pun. That one youl12: man from each county in the state Who9 With the arnOO pllll>ose of becoming a1 aericulturist shall badge hilnself to take the full course in Agriculture, shall receive board, tuition, books, and '" uniform for one year a I. the rate af one hundred dailars. The general idea only is presonted if acted on by the Board, it oUl':ht to be l':Ilarded by ruch restrictions and liJllitations as will more effectiwly secure the object to be accompli~ed . The main question is can t he college afford aid to such ae:ricultural students. It cannc>t be denied that every dollar of our increase llli{:ht be profitably expended in other directions - t.hat if these plans .should be adopted, oome neods that are sore, if 001. 11nperatiw, IllUst reuin unsupplied . But one agricultural intoros-t is perishin;: - Alabama is dl'ln!:: for vant of information or proper actton upon the part of t.hose vho cantrol her soil. How best to expend oW" liJrlted :IIeans is to me a question of deep, even painful, interest. A reviow of aur finances should show that oW" incame may s.afely be entered as follows. Int.erestonendorsernent. TUition t ees. 'I"here will be r<lquired for tllefaculty ,,~ Incidental expenees Total Expenditures $20 ,000 ~ $23,000 $15, 000 2,000 ~ $20,000. This would leave but Ulree t.housand that could be ewropriatftd to such purposes. We would 001. probably need r.v:>re than this gum the first year . For subso(]uont. years SOMe means of in::reasirc our i ncrease of of r<ldllCinl:our expenditures or bot.h >ould enable us to meet the incr<lasod demand. But even it ve should for the fir."!t year or so exceed our present increase, may we 001. with oonfidence expect that an indebtedness ineu~dinfurnish:LJx: education in agriculture in sone 'Jay be Uquidated. I f a student receiving this benefit shauld influence tIC others to attend the college, he would thus repay in .rull all aid extended him. It would eerta.1nly tIIUltiply our friends throughout the state and w!len too poople of Alabana saw ve were struBf:lill3 in "lJ«K lI2:bwrx;tkll;dD;txtlolrtxi:~ _u behalfofthisereatinterest,clIlitbepoesiblethatt\lestatenerself would not come to our relief. !l<:!s1des, there h yet .rtrong hopes that Congress Will eive us additional aid and nothing would so po.,.,rfuliy plea. in our behalf u the fact that this College was e.xertin;: all its energy to promte agricultural interest s. I canrot pass from this part of my report w1thout express1ng the earnest hope, the Confident expectation, that oome measure the vtsdom of the Board of Directors may devise wUl be adopted to aid the aerleultural interests of the state. 70l' II. det.G.ll?d etetement of financial con:l.1t1on of tho colleE'l , you are rospectfully referred to the report of t he Treasure::-. ~.(: laettlty hav . instructed me to ask the concurrence ot t ~e Board in conferring the deCl"Ce ot Bachelor of Sand L upon JOlJllPh L.
