One h01'S9 given to the Representative from Boulder County on condition that he should win in his effort to locate the University here. Eighty acres of land, Tyler Addition. A Five hundred dollars in cash. Four acres of the land now comprising the Campus. Mr. Charles G. Buckingham was afterwards founder of the University Library. Marinus Cr. Smith headed the subscription list with by far the largest sum. From his zeal he became known as 'CUniversity Smith? Dr. Dennett used to say that he was the patron saint of the University, and that his portrait should be hung in the chapel. He was born in Oneida County, New York, May 6, 1819, served in the Mexican War, prospected in California, and came to Boul-- der in J une, 1859 5 his wife taught in the first Sunday school. In 1861, in company with Horace Tarbor, he started in pursuit of seine Boulder horse thieves and caught two of them at Plattsinouth, and two more at Rockford, Missouri. The thieves joined the army? In 1863-4 he was captain of the home guard. He owned two hundred and twenty acres in Boulder, a part of which was given for our Campus. He died January 12, 1901. His last thoughts were for the University. He said to a relative: MAH that institution needs over there is more property. If I had kept my health a little longer, they should have had itf' His house is, perhaps, the oldest frame building in the County, standing on an original site. He surrounded it with a wild paradise of shrubbery, fruit and shade trees. So dense were the approaches that a man might pass three sides of his park for years without knowing there was a house in it. He was the first to test the climate and soil of Boulder for vegetables and fruit. In September, 1859, in company with William G. Pell, he plowed where Seventeenth Street now is 5 in November, built the first irrigating ditch, and the next season, proved that any kind of seeds would grow and bring fort-h abundantly. Between the street and sidewalk along his land he planted cherry trees for the boys? He was generous, and he had a quick answer. Once a - Q..
