Faculty Have Grown In Knowledge, Number The same year, the State Legislature, which had become concerned about the welfare of its division of the University, separated the A. and M. College from the larger institution. John A. Williams, the first presiding officer of the college, had resigned in 1868 to return to the direction of his own school in Harrodsburg. Prof. Joseph D. Pickett, of the School of English Language and Literature, succeeded him on an acting basis, he resigned a year later. The difficult and burden- some position was then given to James K. Patterson who remained at the helm for forty years. Patterson's administra- tion brought the University from infancy to adolescence, secured financial support, and protected it when disaster threatened. During the first year of the actual operation of the A. and M. College, 190 men students, under the guidance of the twelve faculty members, began working a curriculum of the College of Arts, stressing civil engineering, modern lan- guages, and military tactics. The students were required to work two hours daily on the ornamental grounds, the farm and in the shops of the institutions. The 1911 UK faculty on the steps of the Administration Building. Dr. H. H.
