Amherst, a town of nearly fivethonsand inhabitants, is beautifully located in the valley east of the Connecticut river and north of the Holyoke range of mountains. It is the seat of two noted educa- tional institutions - Amherst College and Massachusetts Agricul- tural College - and contains several high grade private schools. Originally a portion of the town of Hadley, it bore a part in the early conflicts with the Indians. At the time of the Revolutionary war it sent its own citizens into the field, and thus by action as well as by word aided in the cause of independence. Again, when the Re- public was threatened by rebels, Amherst freely gave of her men, and on the battle-fields flowed the blood of her brave sons. In every national crisis she has taken her place with the foremost. Her history is intensely interesting, the more so as one learns of the details. (See History of Amherst, 1896, by Carpenter and

To-day Amherst is one of the most delightful towns in Massa- chusetts. There is a healthy public sentiment, while the character of the people is most excellent. Public improvements are con- stantly being carried forward, and the intellectual and moral inter- ests keep pace with all else. T^e architecture of residences and of public buildings expresses in no small degree the ideals of the

Nor is the town at all isolated. The Boston & Maine railroad (Central Massachusetts Division) affords quick connection with Boston, Worcester, Northampton, the county-seat (8 miles distant), with Springfield (about 25 miles distant), and with New York. The New London Northern railroad provides connection with Fitchburg and North Adams (via ^Millers Falls), with Worc*?ter and Springfield (via Palmer and Boston & Albany railroad), and with New York (via New I^ondon steamboat or Boston & Albany

The town is especially desirable as a place of residence. Its pub- lic schools and its churches are of the very best. The atmosphere is wholesome, alike to bodv and mind.

Amherst College was founded in 1821, and at the openins:, Sept. 19 of that year, forty-seven stndents were admitted into the four regular classes. Its charter, received Feb. 21, 1825, confers upon the Corporation the right to perpetuate itself, together with the provides that the nnmber of trustees shall never exceed seventeen, seven of whom shall he clergymen, and ten laymen, and that the five vacancies first occurring shall thenceforward he filled by the Legislature of Massachusetts. This provision was maintained for nearly fifty years, until the Legislature, in 1874, conferred the power of fining these vacancies upon the Alumni, by whom it is now exercised.

The college has had in all nearly 6,000 students and nearly 4,000 alumni, of whom more than one-half are now living. Little aid has been received from public funds. The edifices, grounds and endowments, which now exceed $2,000,000 in value, are almost entirely due to private munificence.

The Presidents of the college have been:

The four-year curriculum of the classical course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and that of the scientific course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science. A student whose recommen- him qualified for admission to Amherst College, is received as a memher of the College and is trusted to conduct himself as a gen- tleman, in ohedience to law, in maintenance of order, and with that regard for Christian institutions which becomes a member of a Christian college.

Xo one can he admitted to the Freshman class until he has com- pleted his fifteenth year, nor to advanced standing without a cor-

responding increase of age. Special stiidents are not received un- less they have siihstantially completed the preparatory studies re- quired for one of the courses leading to a degree; and exceptions to this regulation are made only in case of men whose exceptional maturity, or exceptional fitness for certain lines of college work, makes it evident that they are prepared to profit by college work rather than by worlc in a preparatory school. Such students are required to take as many hours of work each week as do candidates for degrees.

Detailed information concerning the institution may be obtained by addressing the Eegistrar of Aniherst College. The tuition fee is $110. Other expenses vary with the character and habits of the student, $350 annuallv being the minimum. Most students spend

In methods of instruction each member of the Faculty has the greatest freedom to choose and use what seems to him wisest.

The aim of the College is, by a liberalizing course of study, to develop power and character in the student, rather than to make specialists in any department. The liberally educated man, it is believed, is best fitted for success in special work in his subsequent life. While not sectarian, the College is distinctively Christian. When the first building was dedicated, and the first president and professor were iuaniynrated, "the promotion of tlie relujion of Chr\-^t" was declared to be the special object of the undertaking,

and this still remains the first and chief aim of the College. En- deavoring to provide the best means for the highest attainable cul- ture, it also seeks to aid its students in the formation of a character of Christian manliness and in the preparation for a life of. Chris- tian usefulness.

The Christian life of the College finds expression through the College Church and the College Young ]\Ien's Christian Associa- tion. A service for public worship is held in the College Church every Sunday morning at quarter of eleven, and there are prayers in the cha])el every week-day morning at half past eight o'clock. Other religious services are held reaularly.

The college grounds embrace about 87 acres; and the more prominent of the college buildings are as follows, with the year of their erection:

South college domitory.

North college domitory,

Johnson chapel.

College hall,

Hitchcock hall,-

President's house.

Observatory and Woods Ca-jinet,

Morgan Library,

Appleton cabinet.

Barrett gymnasiiim, (1859)

Pratt gymnasium, (1883)

Physical and chemical laboratory, (1893)

Other real estate of the college embraces Blake field, Hallock park, and the Pratt athletic field, all within five minutes' walk r.f the college campus.

The Johnson chapel is used chiefly for recitation and class-room work. The view from the top of the tower, in clear weather, is unsurpassed. College hall is reserved for commencement exercises and occasional lectures and entertainments.

The Observatory contains an 8 1-2 foot telescope and numerous other astronomical instruments. In the Woods cabinet is an ex- traordinary collection of meteorites and minerals, and a well-

e(]iiipped room for geological lectures. Hitchcock hall is a dor- mitory and hoarding house.

The Morgan library contains nearly 65,000 volumes, and is the fourth in size of the college libraries of the country. It is open an exceptionally large number of hours, free to all members of the college. In the porch of the library is a fine collection of early Assyrian sculptured slabs, dating back to 900 B. C, and obtained from the ancient Nimroud.

In the Appleton cabinet are the unique Hitchcock collection of fossil tracks in stone, the Adams collection in zoology, the Gilbert museum of Indian relics, and the famous Audubon collection of birds. Also, this building contains the lecture rooms and labora- tories of the biological department.

Williston hall contains Greek and Latin class-rooms, and on the third floor the Mather collection of art, mainly casts of statuary illustrating historical sculpture.

The Barrett gymnasium is the first college gymnasiimi built in America, and in it was inaugurated the Amherst system of gymnas- tics and anthropometry, now widely imitated in America and for-

Walker hall contains mainly recitation rooms and the president's room, where meetings of the Boards of the Trustees and the Faculty are held. On the third floor is the exhibit of the college which was at the "World's Fair in Chicago, 1893.

The college church, the gift of William French Stearns, is re- served exclusively for Sunday services. The Pratt gymnasium is used for the gymnastic exercises and physical training of all the students of the college, for numerous gymnastic exhibitions, and for festivities of Commencement week. The collection of special- ized apparatus is ample, and the building contains a billiard room, bowling alleys, sparring room, abundant bath rooms, an athletic museum, a large collection of banners and pennants won by the student organizations, and the rooms of the professor of hygiene, where the records of the bodily statistics and measures of all the students are made and preserved.

The recently-erected laboratories for physics and chemistry are large and substantially constructed, at a cost, with their equip- ment, of $100,000; and the facilities for original research and teaching in these departments are unsurpassed.

By an act of Congress of Jnly 2, 1862, public lands were do- nated to all states and territories that would provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. Massachusetts accepted the grant, and appointed a Board of Trustees, who voted. May 25, 1865, to locate the institution at Amherst. The buildings were erected by the state, and the college opened its doors to stu- dents in 1867, graduating its first class in 1871.

The college is situated one mile north of the center of the town of Amherst, on an area of land approaching four hundred acres in extent. The princijjal college liuildings are eight in number. There are two brick dormitories, capable of holding one hundred and fifty students. The well-equipped chemical and physical lab- oratories are located in a large wooden building. The new stone chapel occupies a well-chosen position and is a decided ornament to the college grounds. The lower story contains the college library, and the upper one is used as a general assembly room for tlie en- tire student-body. The library contains 17,000 volumes, and with

one exception is the most complete of its kind in the country. The commodious drill hall is used during the winter for various mili- tary and gymnastic exercises.

A large barn, with dairy school attached, is the latest acquisi- tion to the college. It is a model of its kind, and well worthy of

Situated on the hill, on the opposite side of the college grounds, is the botanic museum, together with the glass houses of the bo- tanical and horticultural departments. Besides recitation rooms, this building contains a valuable herbarium and a great variety of models and charts. In the rear wing of the building is a finely- equipped botanic laboratory. The entomological department, not

far distant, has recently been housed in a new building, and is fully equipped with all modern improvements and apparatus.

The grounds about all of the college buildings are very taste- fully laid out. In the agricultural department a large area is kept under cultivation for purposes of instruction. The grounds im- mediately in the vicinity of the greenhouses are devoted to orna- mental gardening. Here may be seen a very large variety of flowers and shrubbery. The extensive orchards and vineyards of the horticultural department are close b}^ as well as the large area devoted to market gardening.

The regular course of study occupies four years, and the degree of Bachelor of Science is awarded to those completing it. In the

senior year, all studies, excepting English and ]\Iilitary, are elect- ive. Advanced stndy leads to the degree of Master of Science.

The stndy of the various sciences, such as chemistry, botany and zoology, upon which agriculture is based, form a prominent part of the course. Thorough instruction is also given in mathematics, mechanics, physics, practical surveying, as well as history, political economy and modern languages. All students, not physically dis- abled, are obliged to drill three hours per week, and they receive in addition various kinds of military instruction. A religious ser- vice is held on Sunday with preaching by the College pastor. The College Y. M. C. A. also holds services.

While the instruction is primarily intended to fit young men for agricultural pursuits, the course is so arranged as to furnish a broad education to all students. Such a training serves also as an excellent foundation for those desirous of taking up some special line of work, be it teaching, investigation, medicine, or of a me- chanical nature. From statistics gathered in 1892, of the 313 men who had then been graduated, more than one-half were engaged in agriculture or kindred pursuits. Most of those not thus engaged were in various lines of business.

Massachusetts students can, in most cases, obtain a scholarship granting free tuition by applying to the senator of the district in which they live. Students of economical habits will find $250 per year sufficient to cover all expenses, a portion of which can be earned if desired.

Situated upon the college grounds is the Hatch Experiment Sta- tion. It is supported from funds supplied by both the national and state governments. The station was instituted for the purpose of aiding the farmer, by investigating the manifold problems con- nected with the various lines of agriculture. The official control of the sale of commercial fertilizers centers here, and all kinds of fertilizers, cattle feeds, dairy products and drinking waters are tested, free of cost. The Experiment Station officers furnish in- formation free to farmers on all topics connected with their calling. The two brick buildings on the" north of the college grounds are devoted to investigations in chemistry and vegetable pathology. There are also separate barns for storing crops and for animal ex- periments. A considerable area of land is devoted to experiment plats for the purpose of stud}ring the growth of plants under differ- ent methods of treatment. The station has a director and seven distinct departments as follows:

President Henry H. Goodell, LL.D., Director. Prof. William P. Brooks, B. Sc, Agriculturist. Prof. George E. Stone, Ph.D., Botanist.
