Russ taught in 1828. In this year, two lots in Spruce Street were bouglit for $370, on which a new Academy (now, with an addition built to it afterward, the Morgantown Public School building; see illustration) was erected between 1828 and 1831.
On the 28th of January, 1829, (principally through the exertions of Thomas P. Ray,) an act of Legislature was secured, allowing the trustees of Monongalia Academy to raise as much as $20,000, by lottery, for a part of the en- dowment fund of the Academy. Thomas P. Ray was ap- pointed to secure lottery drawings under this act; and, on January 26, 1832, contracted with Yates & McIntyre, of New York City. These drawings were held for several years. The board of Trustees, when the new Academy opened in 1831, were Mathew Gay (president), the Rev. Joseph A. Shackelford, Henry Lazier, Fielding Kiger, William Griffey, John Rogers, Nicholas B. Madera, Thomas P. Ray (treas- urer), Alpheus P. Wilson (secretary) and Ralplı Berkshire.
They divided the school into two departments and estab- lished ten classes .*

Monongalia Academy, for over half a century, was an educational center in Western Virginia. It was during the latter years of its long career of usefulness that it attained its greatest prosperity and height of honorable fame, under the administration of James R. Moore. Fourteen States were represented by the students in its halls, who, in num- bers, were always above 100, and once as high as 176. The thoroughness of preparation of those who left its portals for college was such, that Monongalia Academy, every year, had an honor man in the college graduating classes. No list of its graduates can be found, but among them were Thomas Brown, of Kingwood, and some of the Wilsons, of an early day. Later, were Chauncey F. Black, Lieut .- Governor of Pennsylvania; the Hon. J. M. Hagans, John J. Brown, Esq., Joseph Moreland, Esq., Prof. A. W. Lorentz, Prof. W. P. Willey, George C. Sturgiss, Esq., Col. W. A. Hanway, Dudley Evans, E. M. Wilson, L. W. Wilson, W. S. Cobun, L. S. Brock, and a great number of others.
In 1850, the trustees agitated the project of merging the Academy into a college, but failed. But, in 1867, they offered the State their entire possession of property and money amounting to $50,000, if the State would locate the West Virginia Agricultural College on the lands of the Woodburn Seminary, which they had just bought. The offer was accepted, and Monongalia Academy passed away that the University might come. But while the generosity

of the trustees closed the halls of Monongalia Academy to open the portals of the University, a spirit of commendable enterprise opened them again in the establishment of the first and so far the only graded school in the county. For in 1868, the commissioners of Morgantown Independent District bought of the State the Monongalia Academy building for the sum of $13,500, which has been known since as Morgantown Graded School.
SCHOOLS FOR FEMALES.
Those public spirited citizens who founded Monongalia Academy for the education of their sons, were not forgetful of the education of their daughters; and at the same meeting (January 3, 1831), after selecting a teacher, and ordering rules of government for the new Academy, it was ordered, "that Rev. Joseph A. Shackelford, John Rogers, Henry Lazier and Alpheus P. Wilson be appointed a committee to prepare a memorial to the Legislature for authority to convey the old academy lot and apply the pro- ceeds of the sale to the erection of a female academy."
The Legislature, on the 23d of March, 1831, passed an act granting the authority to the trustees to establish a separate school for females. Thomas P. Ray and A. P. Wilson, on the 5th of September, 1831, selected a part of lot No. 113 as the site of the new building. On the 7th of- November, a proposition was made to the Baptists that if they would give $350, lot No. 1 would be selected, and the seminary built upon it, and the building would be allowed the Baptists for church purposes when the school was not in session. This proposition was not successful; and, in January, 1832, the trustees contracted with John Rodgers to build a female seminary on lot No. 113. The building,
398

which is now a part of the residence of Henry Hayes, on Bumbo Lane and Long Alley, was finished in 1833, and the records show the letting of the upper room to Miss Louisa, and the lower room to the Misses Green. In 1834, Sarah Green was to have the upper room ; in 1836, Mary Thomp- son was to have a room to teach in; and in 1838, Miss Henderson seems to have been in charge of the institution.
The trustees of Monongalia Academy, on the 22d of December, 1838, to give greater efficiency to the female seminary, petitioned the Legislature to incorporate it as the Morgantown Female Academy, and allow them to give towards its endownment the lot, building and $2000. The Legislature, the next year, granted their request, and incor- porated the Female Academy, but as the "Morgantown Female Collegiate Institute "; which, in later years, was known as " Whitehall Female Seminary," on account of a white coat of paint having been applied to the buildings. The board of trustees appointed were William Lazier, (president), Guy R. C. Allen, W. T. Willey (secretary), George Hill and Reuben B. Taylor. In 1843, an addition was built to the Institute ; and, in 1852, the building, being out of repair, the trustees proposed to erect a new building and the contract was let to Harrison Hagans for $3500, and the front portion of the present Morgantown Female Seminary was erected. Monongalia Academy aided in the construction with $1750. In 1858, an addition was ordered built, and, when completed, it comprised the present Seminary building. School was continued in the building until about 1867. On June 22d, 1869, the last board of trustees-W. T. Willey (president), R. L. Berkshire, John J. Brown, George M. Hagans, A. L. Wade and William Wag- ner (secretary)-met for the last time. They sold the

The legislature incorporated, on the 4th of January, 1858, the Woodburn Female Seminary Company. It was authorized to hold not exceeding twenty-five acres of land, and to have a capital not exceeding $50,000. The incorpa- rators were the Rev. J. R. Moore, W. A. Hanway, E. W. Tower, and others. The residence and grounds of Mrs. Thomas P. Ray were purchased, and an additional building erected, and school opened in May, 1858. The school increased rapidly, and another building was added. The Rev. J. R. Moore was the superintendent, and Mrs. E. I. Moore the principal, with from three to four assistant teachers. Upon Mr. Moore's death in 1864, Dr. John W.

Scott became superintendent. The institution closed in 1866. The property was bought by the trustees of Monon- galia Academy, and given to the State in 1867, and upon its grounds the buildings of West Virginia University stand to-day. The Woodburn Seminary buildings (on the site of the new University Hall) burned January 25, 1873.

Upon the transfer of the property of the Morgantown Female Collegiate Institute to Mrs. E. I. Moore, in 1869, she opened the present Morgantown Female Seminary, April 14th, 1869. Mrs. Moore has been its principal from that year to the present time, with the number of assistant teachers equal to the needs of the institution. And while the University has come to do a part of the work mapped out by old Monongalia Academy-the education of the sons of Western Virginia-The Morgantown Female Sem- inary-with an able, efficient and experienced principal- proposes to perform the other part of the work mapped out by that historic old .academy-the thorough, elevated and refined education of the daughters of Western Virginia.

In closing the history of academic education in Monon- galia, it is proper to note that some of the men called as principals of Monongalia Academy, were graudates of the highest institutions of learning in the land. Prominent among the distinguished principals was the Reverend
JAMES ROBERTSON MOORE, who was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, August 20, 1823. He was a descendant of that Scotch-Irish Presbyterian stock so noted for deter- mination and so conspicuous in the early religious and educational history of Washington County, Penn. His grandfather, Augustine Moore, married Verlinda Dawson, and settled near Uniontown, Penn., before 1767, supposing he was settling in Monongalia County. His father, William Moore, married Susana Maxwell. James R. Moore gradu- ated at Washington College in 1847, a class-mate of the Hon. James G. Blaine. He next spent some three years in teaching with Dr. Scott at the Lindsley Institute in Wheel- ing. He next qualified himself for the ministry in the Presbyterian Church. Entering Princeton Theological Seminary in the fall of 1849, he studied there three years. An affection of his throat and lungs compelled him to quit public speaking, and he then turned his attention to teach- ing, and took charge of Monongalia Academy. In 1853, he was married to Miss Elizabeth I. Moore, of Wheeling, who was a graduate of the Wheeling Female Seminary, and who is now the principal of the Morgantown Female Semi-

nary. Mr. Moore was a man of rather striking appearance and grave countenance-a man whose decision of charac- ter, great executive ability, and remarkable knowledge of human nature, won for him the respect and esteem of all who came in contact with him. Under his administration Monongalia Academy became an educational power, and students crowded its halls from many States of the Union. Mr. Moore died on Monday, December 12, 1864. A beauti- ful monument was placed over his grave, in 1868, ås a trib- ute of respect to his memory, by the students of Monongalia Academy, who contributed the most of the funds to pur- chase it. On the 4th of October, 1865, the Rev. H. W. Biggs delivered an address commemorative of Mr. Moore's life and labors, which, with a poem read at the Woodburn Female Seminary Reunion at the same time, was published in pamphlet form.
WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.
Monongalia Academy was the culmination of academic education in the county-the living embodiment of that idea of higher education introduced into the county at so early a period. This academy undoubtedly formed the moving spring of that great educational progress in the county which inspired its trustees to secure the establish- ment of an institution of learning on its soil, which we hope, in the future, may become the crowning glory, as well as the head, of the educational superstructure of the State, and attract to its halls by its superior merits & following from all over the Union. This institution is known to-day as West Virginia University. Its buildings are located just beyond the borough limits of Morgantown, on the right bank of the Monongahela River. Its grounds are over twenty acres

West Virginia University is the outgrowth of the West Virginia Agricultural College, established in 1867, by the combined bounty of the United States Government, the Legislature of West Virginia, and the trustees of Monon- galia Academy.
Congress passed an act July 2, 1862, (before West Vir- ginia became a State,) donating lands to the States and Territories providing " colleges for the benefit of Agricul- ture and the Mechanic Arts." On October 3d, 1863, the Legislature of West Virginin accepted the grant; and, on January 30, 1864, asked Congress to extend all provisions of this act to West Virginia, which was accordingly done by act of Congress, April 14, 1864. West Virginia received under this act thirty thousand acres for each of her Sen- ators and Representatives in Congress, amounting to 150,000 acres. On January 24, 1867, West Virginia asked for 60,000 acres additional. The Legislature now took action upon locating an agricultural college to be known as the West Virginia Agricultural College. The claims of Pt. Pleasant, Bethany, Frankford, Greenwood, Harrisville and Morgantown were presented as suitable places for the
* The grounds once belonged to Squire Benjamin Reeder, who lived on them,fin a large white frame house, and who lies buried not far from the present buildings. Thomas P. Ray bought the grounds and named the place " Beech Hill." In 1835, he built what was then considered a magnificent brick residence on the site of the University Building. It became a part of Woodburn Seminary, and was destroyed by fire in 1873.

location of the institution. On the 31st of January, 1867, the fourth ballot was taken in the Legislature upon these different places, and Morgantown won, receiving 17 out of 22 votes cast in the Senate, and 32 out of 53 cast in the House. The offer of the trustees of Monongalia Academy, (made January 9, 1866), in case Morgantown should be chosen for the seat of the Agricultural College, was as follows (Acts of 1867, p. 12):
Property.
Estimated value.
Woodburn Female Seminary $25,000
Monongalia Academy and dwelling
15,000
Cash, bonds, bank stock, etc. 10,000
Library and other personal property 1,000
Total $51,000
The land script donated West Virginia was sold for about $80,000, and invested in Government bonds, the par value of which was $90,000 in 1867. This amount was given as a permanent endowment, and of which neither principal nor interest was ever to be used for the purchase, erection or repair of buildings. An act of Legislature was passed February 29, 1868, for the insurance of the college, and on the 3d of March, 1868, an appropriation of $10,000 was made to the endowment fund, which is about $110,000.
By an act of the Legislature passed February 7, 1867, the Governor was instructed to appoint a Board of Visitors, consisting of one person from each of the eleven Senatorial districts, to establish and have the control of the Agricul- tural College. This Board held its first meeting at Morgan- town April 3, 1867, organized the school, and elected the Rev. Alexander Martin, D.D., President. At its second meeting, (at the close of the first term of the Preparatory Department,) on June 27th, the Hon. J. T. Hoke (now of
405
EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
Kingwood) delivered an address, and made the formal pre- sentation to Dr. Martin of the college charter, keys, etc. President Martin then delivered his inaugural address, and the ceremonies closed. The College opened September 2, 1867, in the buildings of the Monongalia Academy, with five departments-Literary, Scientific, Agricultural, Military and Preparatory. Governor A. I. Boreman in a special message of January 30, 1868, recommended, and the Legis- lature, on the 4th of December following, passed an act, changing the name and title from West Virginia Agricul- tural College to West Virginia University.
From 1868 to 1882, the departments varied in number from four to six (Classical, Scientific, Agricultural, Engin- eering, Military and Preparatory). In addition to these, a United States Signal Station was established in 1872. Vo- cal music was added in 1874. In 1878, steps were taken toward the creation of Departments of Law and Medicine ; and, in 1882, the establishment of a school of Chemistry was authorized.
The Board of Regents at their annual meeting in June, 1882, abolished the Curriculum (embracing the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes), and adopted the Elective System, distributing the course of study into ten. Independent Schools-eight academic and two professional. In June, 1883, the Presidency was abolished or suspended, and in its place a "Chairman of the Faculty" was ap- pointed.
The present West Virginia University buildings "are models of architectural beauty," and are three in number : the Preparatory Hall, the University Building, and the Ar- mory. The corner-stone of the Preparatory Hall was laid June 16, 1869. It is 98x54 feet; four stories, with projec-
406
HISTORY OF MONONGALIA COUNTY.
tions and verandas on the north and south fronts, the corners of which, with the corners of the building, are quoins of neatly cut sandstone. The first story is sixteen feet, of stone; second story is thirteen feet and the third seventeen feet, of pressed bricks, openings recessed and arches trimmed with keys and blocks of cut stone; fourth story, 10 feet, mansard, and covered with alternate belts of blue and green slate; cost, including furnishing, over $63,000.
The corner-stone of the University Building was laid June 18, 1874. The central hall has been erected, and the wings are yet to be added. It occupies the site of Wood- burn Seminary, which was used as the University dining- hall until destroyed by fire, Saturday evening, January 25, 1873. The dimensions of the central hall of the University Building, as measured by D. U. O'Brien and E. Shisler, are as follows : the square of the building, 104 feet long by 61 feet wide; first story, stone, 11 feet in the clear; second story, 17} feet; and third story, 15 feet 8 inches, both of pressed bricks; fourth story, 17 feet 10 inches, mansard, containing University Hall, 55}x79 feet. The total height of the building is ninety-six feet; cost, including furnishing, over $47,000.
The Armory is a two-story brick. It is 46x28 feet, and 31 feet 9 inches high; cost, $3,800.
The campus is a large and almost a natural park.
The library is placed by the last catalogue at 5,000 volumes, of which (the Librarian states) about 1,500 are reports of the Department of Agriculture, Congressional Globes, etc. The Legislature, of late years, has made several appropriations, amounting in all to about $1,500, for the purchase of books for the library.
407
EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
" The Museum contains extensive mineralogical, geological and conchological cabinets, together with many specimens in other departments of Natural History." Two thousand specimens of minerals and fossils, and 2,300 of recent shells, have been collected.
In 1881, provision was made for the study of Practical Geology, by an annual excursion of four weeks under Prof. White, in West Virginia and adjoining States.
There are two literary societies-the Parthenon and Columbian. The Parthenon at first was known as the Monongalia Literary Society. The present officers of the Parthenon are : President, S. B. Brown; Vice President, R. F. Fast; Secretaries, Matt S. Hughes and C. S. Bennett. Officers of the Columbian : President, D. U. O'Brien; Vice President, H. Fleming; Secretaries, E. W. Lawson and F. Snider. A third society, the Willey, was organized, but ex- isted but a short time.
The Laboratory of Practical Chemistry owes its existence to Prof. Latham, who was aided in its equipment by Dr. H. B. Lazier and Jesse Fitch. These two gentlemen advanced $500 each for the purchase of apparatus, with no assurance that any appropriation would ever be made to repay them. In 1882, an appropriation of $2,700 was made. Most of the apparatus was purchased in Europe. In the Laboratory is a chemical balance (made in Berlin) which is as fine as any in the United States, and which is so sensitive that it registers the 2060 part of a grain; and another from Philadelphia, weighing the 1306 part of a grain ; a colorim- eter, by use of which certain analyses can be made with marvelous quickness by simply observing differences of color in solutions. There is also apparatus for the analysis of soils and fertilizers, and apparatus specially designated
