Division of Veterinary Science: Including medicine, anatomy, surgery and pharma- cology. The department of college extension is in process of development and will undoubtedly become a separate division. The state agricultural college, comprising sixty-five buildings, is situated on a farm of 711 acres, at the city of East Lansing, Ingham county. It was established February 12, 1855, and the legislature, by act approved on that date, appropriated twenty-two sections of salt spring lands, the money from the sale thereof to be used for the purchase of a site and land for farm. The purchase consisted of 676 acres, from which five acres were afterwards sold. Later thirteen acres were purchased for an athletic field, and in 1913, twenty-seven acres more were added, making the present farm and grounds 711 acres.
The legislature of 1857 appropriated $40,000 "for the erection of buildings, purchase of furniture, apparatus, implements and library, payment of professors and teachers, and to improve and carry on the farm and such other necessary expenses," etc. At each succeeding session since, appropriations have been made for buildings or current expenses or both, until the present value of the college buildings and equipment is $1,456,741.25, of which the former represents $940,200.
The sources of income of the Agricultural College are as follows: Interest paid by the state on funds derived from sale of lands granted by the general government in 1862; appropriation from the United States treasury under the Morrill act of August 30, 1890, $25,000 per annum; a subsequent act has increased this appropriation by $5,000 per annum, until the total sum shall reach $50,000; Hatch Experiment Station act, for experimental work, $15,000 per annum; Adams Experiment Station act for experimental work, $15,000 per annum; the Smith-Lever fund for college extension work, $10,000 the first year, increasing $18,000 the second year and $15,000 each year thereafter until 1923; appropriations by state legislature and receipts from farm, garden, orchards and students' fees.
