Hinds — Two Histories Hinds Junior College has two histories, that of a high school and that of a college. The main grounds now occupied by Hinds, were trampled by students for the first time in 1917 when the old home site of J. R. Eggleston, captain of the Confederate ironclad Merrimac, became a County Agricultural High School. The idea had been conceived even earlier than this, when an Act of the Mississippi Legislature of 1908 provided for the establishment of county schools of agriculture. After this act was passed, a movement was started immediately for the establishment of such a school for the boys and girls of Hinds County. From time to time, various ideas as to the location and scope of the school were proposed, but it was not until May 31, 1916, that the task of building an agricultural high school for the county was under- taken with the determination to provide a school as good as the best in the land. Attractive bids for the location of the school were presented by the enterprising citizens of Clinton, Edwards, Utica, and Raymond. After considerable deliberation, the County School Board selected Ray- mond for the site of the new institution. In addition to Raymond ' s bid, the County issued bonds in the sum of $75,000.00 to erect and equip the four handsome brick buildings and principal ' s home. The school was founded with the expressed purpose of providing educational opportunities at low cost to students willing to work. It was part of a state-wide agricultural high school program and primarily for rural students. £ $ 4$£A $$ Dormitory B — the first dormitory for men The original college dining hall ; - r-- st; ?•» £ £
