The school was made possible by the Federal Land Grant Act passed by Congress on July 2, 1862, which was an act donating public lands to any state which would provide a college for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts. Admission to the school was a very simple matter in those early days. The applicant had to be at least sixteen years old, and able to present testimonials of good moral character. Exam- inations were required in Arithmetic, English -Grammar, and Geography. A three-year course of study was offered, at the end of which a degree of Bachelor of Philosophy was conferred. While the college was still at Hanover, in 1876, Charles Holmes Pettee, now Dean of the Faculty, was appointed Professor of Mathematics, and has remained ever since. In the fall of 1893, New Hampshire College moved to Dur- ham, where a faculty of thirteen instructed a study body of twenty-seven. This move, which was instrumental in the rise of the College to the present day University, was made possible through the generosity of Benjamin Thompson, a wealthy Durham farmer, who left his entire estate, valued at more than S400,000 as an endowment. Ever since the establishment here at Durham the school has been growing rapidly. The first build- ings which were erected were Nesmith and Thompson Halls, and they served quite adequately for several years. Today they are but a small part of our University. In the past decade Hetzel Hall, Murkland Hall, Congreve Hall, the Charles James chemistry building, and the Hood House have been built, and work has already been started on a new dormitory for women. Under President Hetzel two great forward steps were taken. The first was the incorporation of New Hampshire College into the University of New Hampshire, which occurred in 1923. And in 1925 the Mill Tax Bill was signed by Governor Winant, establishing a permanent income which provides for the con- tinued advancement of the University.
