or. e shall begin our story back in 1862, when, on July 2, the National Land-Grant Act was passed. West Virginia University originated from that act when on January 9, 1866, the board of trustees of the Monongalia Academy at Morgantown tendered to the legislature all its property, including Wood- burn Female Seminary, on condition that the college should be located at Mor- gantown. The legislature accepted the property and on February 7 passed an act permanently establishing The Agricultural College of West Virginia and authorizing the Governor to appoint eleven suitable persons as a Board of Visi- tors. Classes for the College of Agriculture were held until 1918 In Martin Hall and In what Is now Oglebay Annex. The Experiment Station building was acquired in 1873 and was the Armory. On the second floor, where the agronomy labor- atory Is now, was the drill room and ihe Commandant, his family, and other officers lived in the front of the building. In this building now are the labora- tories of agricultural chemistry, physiology, nutrition, and agronomy.
