The convention was then address- -
ed by Hon. Judge . NTatts, of Cum
berland, who in behalf of the Board
of Trustees, presented their annual
report. This report was prefaced
by an interesting and clear statement
of the wants of the College. He
observed that since its organization
a few persons only had evinced a com
mendable interest in the success of
the institution. Many, absolute op
position. It gave him pleasure to
see so large a representation present
to-clay, and of so honored a type,
Fourteen yrars ago this school was
founded. Its originators were wholly
unselfish in its projection and were
moved by a pure desire to benefit
the public.
It was thought by them that our
literary institutions were not adapted
properly to the education of our far
mers' sons, one of the chief em
barrassments being the great ex
pense attending such education.
Another difficulty was, the kind of
education required was not furnished
by those schools. They were de
signed, seemingly, for the learned
professions. Boys receiving a train
ing at said schools became estranged
from the Miners life, and alieniated
from the fellowship and surround
ings of their homes.
The result eventually was, boys
were lured from home to seek occu
pations mord agreeable to their newly
conceived ideas, tastes and feelings;
ninny to make poor lawyers, worse
physicians and incompetent clergy
men. They were subject, too, to all
the vices incident to town and city
lite, so that an average of three out
of four thus situated were lost to the
farm, and in many instances the fa
, tiler lost his money and the boy, too.
The minds of the movers of this
institution was to train the youth so
that the, results would lead to a pa ac
tical acquaintance with the theory
and duties of the farmer,
,so that the
agricultural interests of the country
might be promoted thereby. It is
candid in us to say, ilia:, though we
have earnestly striven to establish
this institution on such principles,
we have failed. We have failed
because the agricultural community
have not seconded our efforts. There
is no place in the United States
where a boy can receive a liberal
education at so slight a cost. There
is no kindred institution located and
endowed better than this, and though
the receipts are annually four. and
twenty thousand dollars, independ
ent of tuition ; and the fitculty has
been composed of efficient educa
tors, yet our classes are unsupplied
with students. He, nevertheless,
believed the institution would yet
become prosperous and recommend
itself to every citizen of this Com
monwealth.
He proceeded to read the address
prepared by the trustees, which is
herewith presented.
To the delegate electors from the email/
and State Agricultural Societies, the Trus
tees of the Agricultural College of Penn
syleaula most re.cpectfutly report. •
That they have so lessened the
mank - T of the professorships and so
changed the course of instruction in
the College, sa to bring the expen
ditures within the income of the 'in
stitution.
It is right that you and the indus
trial classes of Pennsylvania, whose
representatives you are should know
the reasons which have induced these
changes. The Trustees take great
pleasure in sttbmitting the n through
you to the public.
The Farmers nigh SchoOl of Penn
sylvania had its origin in a sincere
desire to promote the welfare and
elevate the character of theindustri:l
classes of Pennsylvania, by the asso
ciation of manual labor with the ac
quisition of scientific knowledge—lt
was organized upon the principle
that all labor, manual or mental,
which conduces to man's comfort and
happiness is honorable. In all the
changes through which the institu
tion has passed the Trustees have
striven to preserve and maintain this
principle. Unfortunately it is a prin
ciple in conflict with the feelings and
prejudices of a large majority of . the
learned men 'of our country--and
with no class of learned men any
where is it more unpopular than with
professors in colleges. The Farmers
High School of 'Pennsylvania was
fortunate however in securing for its
first president, Dr. Evan Pugh, a
learned man, elevated above these
prejudices, who. co-operated most
heartily with the Trustees in the
enforcement of the principle until
his death which occurred on the 29th
day of April 1864:: During the
terms of his presidency the number
of students ranged from about one
hundred and forty-two. Ho was
succeeded ley Dr. William 11. Allen,
who was elected president and en
tered upon the duties of his office in
the year 186-1. During that year the
students numbered one hundred and
forty-six. During Iti6s they num
bered one hundred and, thirty-two.
In September of that year Gen. John
Fraser was elected professor of math
ematics.
The first session of the year 1866
opened with about the usual number
of students, shortly after which tna
tinal modification, changes, and addi
tions in the courses of instruction,
together with the abolition of the
rule requiring manual labor, were
mooted and subsequently unanimous
ly recommended by the faculty. It.
was argued that the extension of the
courses of study recommended were
justified by the endowments from
the Agricultural College Land, made
and expected, and it was most strong
ly urged that, the rule requiring three
hours manual labor daily, from every
student, worked badly, preventing
the entry of many, and the gradu :
ation, even of those who did enter.
This report after the must careful
and deliberate consideration was
adopted by the board of Trustees—
not however without difficulty. Al
though the board, were then, are
now, and ever have been, perfectly
willing to enlarge the education:Al
facilities of the College as the finan
ces of the institution, and the stu
dents to be benefited thereby should
justify. the enlargement, some of the
members doubted the propriety of
making a curriculum so expressive as
to Involve the college In
pecuniary embarras,ments.
To the suggestion of this doubt it
was answered, that the increased ad
vantages and facilities for acquiring
knowledge, together with the aboli
tion of the compulsory labor rule,
would attract students, and that the
Trustees might reasonably expect
students in greatly increased num
bers. It was however unanimously
determined to give the proposed ex
periment a full and fair trial, and the
Trustees at the annual meeting, on
the sth day of September 1866, sub
mitted the proposed changes to the
delegate electors by whom they were
approved. At this meeting Presi
dent Allen tendered his resignation
which was accepted to take effect at
the end of the year and Gen. John
Fraser was elected to fill the vacan
cy.
In the last session of that year,
ending in December MG, the stu
dents instead of having increased, as
was anticipated, were gradually di
minished in number, and whilst the
revenue derived from the students
for the year 1865 had well nigh met
the expenses of the educational de
partment, the educational expenses
of the year 1867 exceeded the in
come about eight thousand dollars.
To meet this large and most unex
pected deficit, individual members of
the board of Trustees advanced three
thousand dollars, and the treasurer,
Edward C. Humes, suffered Presi
dent Allen to over-draw thefunds in
his hands to the amount of about
five thousand dollars, under an assur
ance however that the money so ad
vanced should soon be refunded. At
the meeting of the board in January
1867, Edward C. Humes declined a
re-election as Treasurer and Moses
Thompson was elected to fill the va
cancy.
In the reorganization upon the
plan adopted, the aeademic year
which had began in February, and
ended in December, was so changed
as to begin about the first of August
and end about the first of June. This
occasioned an intervening session of
just half a year. Through this half
year as well as through, the ensuing
year, the students continued gradu
ally to decrease, so that in May last
they numbered but thirty. At the
termination of the financial year end
ing in _December 1867, the money
borrowed and overdrawn as above
stated, not only remained unpaid,
but it had become necessary to bor
row the limiter stun of nine thousand
dollars to meet the current educa
tional expenses of the institution.
The Trustees had confidently cal
culated upon a much earlier .invest
ment of the proceeds of the Agricul
tural College land scrip than was
made by the commissioners. By the
act of Ist April, 1863 the Governor,
Auditor General, and Surveyor Gen
eral were constituted a board of com
missioners, with fun power to sell
the land scrip, invest the proceeds
thereof, and pay the annual interest
accuring theretrom to the' Agricul
tural College of Pennsylvania for the
endowment support and, maintain
auce thereof. This act 'made no pro
vision for the payMent of the neces
sary expenses attending the sale, the
result of which was, that scrip only
to the amount of $lB,OOO- was sold
under that act, the first instalment of
interest upon which was received in
1806.
To remedy this defect the act of
I 1 th April 1866 was passed, under
which one-third was sold and pro
e,eeds invested but the first semi-an
nual instalment of interest was not
paid until July 1867. The residue
was sold under the act of 18th Feb
r iary 1867, but the first semi-annual
instalment of interest was not paid
until February 1808. •
Of the indebtedness thus incurred
nothing had been paid at the meet
ing of the board in May last, •except
the interest and one thousand dollars
of the principal leaving due and un
paid the stun of sixteen thousand
dollars, and although clearly payable
out of the interest derived from the
Agricultural College laird scrip, there
Was not in the treasury one dollar not
absolutly required to meet liabilities
incurred for the current expenses of
the session, nor could anything be
spared out of the accruing interest
due in J ly and August, in view of
the necessary current expenses of the
ensiling session of the college and a
reasonable appropriation to the ex
perimtntal
By the second section of the said
act of 11th April 1860, the Trtistees
had been authorized to borrow $BO,-
000 to pay and consolidate the then,
existing indebtedness of the college
and to secure the same by mortgage
upon the Trustees and the better to
promote the sale of the bonds, so
much of the revenue derivable from
the students as should be required
thr the purpose was pledged fur the
payment of the semi-annnal instal
ments ofinterest. In the greatly cfi
ininished number of students, it was
manifest, the entire revenue derived
from instruction would be required
to pay the interest accruing on the
mortgage bonds. Six thousand dol
lars per annum would be required as
an appropriation towards the extra
ordinary expenses of the three eXper
imentalfiirms when established, be
ing two thousand dollars to each.-
This sum together with the entire
nett proceeds of that portion of the
lands tlirmed for profit and as a mot
el fum, being in the judgment of
the board, the very least appropria
tion which could be expected to pro
duce beneficial results. But eigh
teen thousand dollars would be left
to meet all the expenses of the edu
cational department and pay the six
teen thousand dollars, excess of ex
.muditure for this department over
receipts in the last two years:
This led to the impiiry, what was
then the actual current expenses of the
educational department of the College?
What did it cost as then conducted?
This inquiry the fbllowing statement
answered.

the urgent necessities of the educa

the money since borrowed for the
like purpose—nothing for the pur

and chemical apparatus—nothing for
the enlargement of Alick library and
nothing towards the salaries of the
three unfilled prefessorships in the
curriculum of 1867.

Professors Caldwell and Phin had
tendered their resignations and they
had been accepted months previous
ly, to take effecLat the end of the ac
ademic year—Caldwell to accept the
professorsl4 of chemistry in the
Cornell University at a much higher
salary—Phin for private reasons as
signed—President Fraser tendered
his resignation to take charge of the
Kansas University, and it was accep
ted.
Immediately upon the receipt of
Dr. Caldwell's resignation the Trus
tees took measures to supply his
place, which they did by the election
of Dr. A. P. S. Stewart, who accep
ted the position and entered upon
the duties of his professorship, but
being offered the professorship of
chemistry in the Illinois University
and higher inducements being offered
to him, he saw fit, suddenly to resign
and quit the Institution, and accep
ted the offer made to him. His place
has been filled temporarily, by A. A.
Brenetnan.
The Trustees in view not only of
the reduced number of students, but
of the reduced number •of classes—
in view of the fact .that nine of the
fifteen in the regular College depart
ment were in the Senior class, ex
pecting to graduate at the termina
tion of the session—in view of the
fact that five of the remaining Si;
should they all return, would be in
the Sophomore class—in view.of the
fact that those in the preparatOry de
part►uent would enter the Fresh man's
class, and that new students would
not be likely t' enter higher than the
Sophomore class, thus leaving -the
Junior and Senior classes without
students, and, especially in view of
the enormous excess of expenditures
over receipts during the proceeding
two years having unanimously re
solved "that the board of instruction
be and is hereby reduced to a faculty
consisting of a President and three
regular professors with such assist
ants and tutors as it should from
time to time be found necessary and
profitable to employ ;" next inquired
whO of the remaining 'professors and
assist:llAS desiring to remain it would
be most essential to the welfare of
the institution to retain. With en
tire unanimity they determined to
retain of the profeSsors, McKee,
Clark and Rothrock, and of the in
structors and tutors, Thomas and
lloffman—the former being not only
a mathematician but a good practical
engineer—making with Professor
Stewart, who was present, whom the
Trustees deemed entirely competent
to impart to the students, until they
would be greatly increased in num
bers and in,classes, all the instruction
which the most advanced and most
ambitious would desire.
They however authorized the lite
lay to employ such other assistants
as they should deem necessary. The
further services of Professor Fowler
and others employed were thus dis- -
pensed with. A. conference between
the board of Trustees and the pro
fessors thus selected resulted in an
agreement that they would nocept
the situation tendered them and en
ter upon the duties or their resp. cave
professorship;.
