60 [Senate 



This college was chartered in 1811, and has peculiar and strong 

 claims to the favorable consideration of the Legislature. It has about 

 $15,000 invested in college buildings, which are worthless for any 

 other than educational purposes. The experiment then, if any choose 

 so to regard it, can be tried at this institution cheaper than to erect a 

 new establishment. The trustees are eminently practical men, and 

 will be under the strongest inducements to give success to the under- 

 taking. The college has a library and chemical apparatus worth 

 about $2,000, and many conveniences which will be valuable to an 

 agricultural school.
