Qollege oilf Agriculture HIsToRY GF THE COLLEGE HE legislative consideration by this state of a New 1 ' Hampshire agricultural college was promoted in 1862, when the Congressional land grant act of that year gave to the state of New Hampshire 150,000 acres of public lands to be used for the support of a college of agriculture and mechanic arts. In 1866, New Hampshire passed a law instituting the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. lt authorized the location of this institution at Hanover, though not specifically to be affiliated with Dartmouth college. In 1868, the official opening of the college, Ezekiel . - VVebster Dimond became the first professor. Until his death in 1876, he worked energetically and ably to foster the aims of this youthful institution in order to prove as practical what had been regarded as only an experiment. The proceeds of the script representing this land grant was not available for building purposes, and no other provision had been made for housing. Dartmouth college opened its classrooms and laboratories for the work of the new college. At the end of one year, Professor Dimond issued this statement: A building of some sort we must have, in addition to all the facilities Dean Eastman that Dartmouth college can furnish .... there is a pressing demand for its im- mediate use. This rapid growth is a tribute to the efforts of Professor Dimond. Hari' Rr : l'oull'rod, Colby Tirrcll.
