ADMINISTRATION HISTORY EVENTY years have taken their place in history books since Ezekiel Webster Dimond arrived at a cold, deserted railroad station at Hanover for the opening of the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. With the aid of seven in- structors and the cooperation of Dartmouth College, Ezekiel worked energetically until his death in l876 to foster the aims of this youthful organization and to prove to the New Hampshire legislature that this was more than wishful thinking - that it was a practical, purposeful undertaking. lnterested friends, advantageous offers by Dartmouth College, sums appropriated by the state and personal gifts were used to the best advantage and went toward es- tablishing and forwarding the name of the college. Gradually, the prestige of the college began to take more tangible forms-depart mental organization, larger enrollment and more appropriation from the legislature. Such men as leremiah Sanborn, Charles H. Pettie and Clarence W. Scott came forward to ac- complish the seemingly impossible and set a high standard for future leaders to work upon. Probably the most interesting personage connected with the history of the college and the cause of its removal from Hanover to Durham was Benjamin Thompson. Benjamin Thompson was a shrewd and relatively wealthy Yankee farmer and after certain disagreements with his relatives he so ar- ranged his will as to provide money and land for the construction of a well laid out campus. ln l89l, the college accepted the terms of the will and work was started on the erection of the most necessary edifices. With its removal to Durham, change and growth proved to be the underlying theme of the college and the spirit of the ol' Alma Mater was never far behind. An outline of the program upon which the college has grown is found in the principles set forth by Rev. Charles Summer Murkland, a Con- gregational minister who assumed the presi- dency in l893. This college stands for char- acter as well as for scholarship, and skill: and in whatever other respect failure may attend our efforts, we must not fail to send out men and women who shall have learned that intelligence and faith, scholarship and devotion, walk hand in hand. This sincere faith in the future success of the college did much toward building up a lasting reputa- tion. Each successive president did his share in the maintenance of the platform advanced by his predecessor. We are fortunate to be the recipiants of this rich intellectual and social background and it is our privilege to be contributors of the future as well as receivers of the past.
