 We are just now suffering from a malady not without

precedent, but not incurable. We are afflicted with a mania

for change, for revolution. Change and revolution are not
always synonymous with progress. Witness the Republic of
Mexico and the republics of South America. Change, revolu—
tion, reorganization, to be legitimate, must conform to the
fundamental laws of thought, the Law of Sufficient Reason
and the Law of Parcimony.

The first requires that a Sufficient Reason exist
for change, revolution, reorganization, before these are
undertaken, and that the reason therefor be set forth clearly
unambiguously and fully. The burden of proof thus rests upon
those who propose change. This principle was followsi in
the Declaration of Independence and formed the justification
for the revolution. A declaration of rights, with an argumet
expressed or implied, and a preamble, precedes every constitu
tion of every state, and an appropriiie?p;e:nble precedes
every important piece of legislation.

Second, the Law of Parcimony provides that as few
changes as possible be made until the wisdom of the change is
made manifest and still further change is required for ef-
ficiency. When did it become apparent that a sweeping
change and reorganization of the University was necessary for
its effective work? How did it become apparent? What com-
mittee of Trustees was appointed to investigate and take
testimony? Were all the parties who were interested in the
proposed change consulted? Is this document prepared and
submitted by parties wholly disinterested? It is said to be
the work of the Deans. What Deans were consulted and what”"““5
ignored? It seems to me that the conclusion is manifest.

The alleged need of reorganization was obtruded on the Board
by interested parties and on ex parte information, and than

a duty was delegated to these interest parties which should

have been undertaken primarily by the Board,and after inves—

tigation by'e committee of Trustees appointed by the Board,
reported upon by'this committee to the Board itself. This
is a cut? anda function within the exclusive comratenoy of
ti 8 Boar-i. A fair interpretation of the duties of Trustees
as outlined in the charter and in the bylaws unmistakably
sustains this contention. The plan actually pursued is like
that of a proprietor of a large establishment, an Astor, a
Vanderbilt or a Carnegie delegating to his butler, and chief
cook and major donLO and hone 1:- e or rend on .r.lcyecs and houseu
raids tie organization and nanacenent of his establishment.
Organization, like light, should come from above and not
from below.

It has not been made apparent that the Civil Engi-
neering should be swallowed up and suborcinated to the Mech-
union 1 Engineerin'r. Indeed, it is in distinct contravention
of the daily arnunnnon and inns ortnnities of the bean oi tn:

ecneviozi hevartnont twenty veers ago, when he was struggling

to emancinate himself and his department from the control of

the Engineering School. Prof. J. P. Nelson was then the Dean, > _,

J/H. fun-3* ~ '7
of all the existing engineering courses. .He‘convincei me by

his reiterated argument that Civil and Heohanicel Engineering
though having much in common, ehould be separate and distinct
organizations, and thus convinced, I set myself to bring

about their-their separation. What has occurred since then
to require new the amalgamation? How could efficiency be pro—
moted thereby? What economies could be effected? This in,
formation could have been elicited by an unbiaseeﬁ and impar—
tial committee of the Board and embodiei in a report and then,
if it became apparent from an impart ial investigation and re-
port that the efficiency of Mechanical, Electrical and Civil
Engineering could be promoted by their consolidation into one,
the consolidation could then have been brought about with the

consent and to the advantage of all concerned.

Deans of Colleges wao hold, noﬁ a full meeting, and at the

o heads of the Law and Agricultural Colleges,
:olid Geometry and Physics were droppcﬁ from the required
cohciulc. ?hic was cone without the knowledge or concur—
r nee of ﬁho other colleges and universities. meanwhile
I received a letter from the ?rcsident of one of the Col-
leges of the Intercollegiatc Association, ﬁecloring the
action of our self-const§tuted tribunal. He said: “ I re-
gret the action of State University in breaking up our urﬁ—
form entrance requirements." On the 13th inst., there was
a meeting of the Intarcollcgiatc Committee which had cormed
the ochcﬂulc and of the S perinténdcnts of High Schools which
had been ondcavcring to lift up thcir standards to meet the
requiromcntc of ﬁhc adopted ochcdulo. It was quite apparent
from tho speeches made that they felt keenly thh abandonment
by the State University of the cchcﬂulc which under happier
auspices she had induced them to aﬁcyt. It could not be re—
garded otherwise ﬁhan as a breach of faith, as well 33 a
marked discourtaay. And yet this ic the State University
which aspircc to the leadership in education in Kentucky.

In all this chore appears to be an aﬁtempt to

control the Board and the Executive Committee through
political methodc and the machincry of the caucus. I

cannot think that the Governing Boarﬁc of great Universi—

tics oontrollcﬂ by great men would abandon the initiative

in imyortant legislation to choir appointcec and oubcrdinateg
allow themselves to be cxploited by interested persons and be
content to register as low the conclusions of interested amp

ploycoc for their own individual aggrandiccment.

Fifteen years ago the State College of Kentucky was confined to an
old dwelling house on the grounds of Kentucky University,from whioj 1t
hed been severed in 1875 and left with absolutely nothing except the an-
nual income of $9900 from the U.S.

Within fifteen years seven houses have been built,the main building (fin
ished in 1983);§w0 dormitories,the President's housé,the Commandant'3,t
the Experiment Station {built,hurned down and rehuilt),the Mechan1cal
Engineering Shops,the Veterinary Building.Besides these laboratories
with abundant apparatu and other appliances have been provided for the
illustration of phys cal cicnce or for use in horticulture and mechan-
lastly a model ‘ experimental farm of 45 acres.
Since Ibe it has acouﬁulatod in arounds,huildings and equipment prop-
erty enual to $400,000.
In April Ibe there were sewen oenortments of study:History,Polit-

ical Economy and Metaphysics,Agrioulfure,80tary nno Horticulture,ﬁngliah

Militwry We1enoe,Mathematice,Chemintry and French wno'ﬁermen. Since then

eleven have been added,mekine eighteen in all;the Normal School,ureek
and Latin and the Aonnomy,ndneﬁ in I550; Civil Engineering,neology and
Paleonﬁology,veterjnary Selene3,Physios,Elooution anﬁ Oratory and the
Experiment Station eomewhat laler.

In Avril Ibuo there were seven professors,now there are twenty-
eight.

Since IoVb,the date of the severance of the College from Kentucky
University,the ma trinnlatxon of the College has increased nearly five-

fold

And during the period from 1590 to I095 it has graduated more students
than in the 25 years preceding. Nevertheless it is and has keen a matter
of earnest inquiry How we can increase the number of our students and
render the dillege still more useful. Perhaps we have relied too much
upur the qredual recognition of the superior advantages that ﬁne ”allege
undenichly offers ior instruction in all its degartments,especially in
all scirntific and printical studies. Measures hive h..2 taken,hewever.
to aivert;se the College more thoroughly,and make more clear to the
schocl superintendents and , - peonle oi '. ‘ 55‘ '* counties the pro-
vision that has oeen mane for free instruction for at least one tnuusund

of the yqung people of the State each

3F?8T.
In 1390 a committee of the Legislature with Hon.Rohern J.Hreokin~
ridge as Chairman visited the College and after a very minute and search
ing investigation continuing for days,and upon sworn testimony of nu-
merous witnesses,reported that they had found the College to he well con
ducted. Eheir report had for the College unstinted nraise,and only one
word of censure and that for a prOVisional arrangemeni which it was
hoped would prove advantageous to the College but whieh was subsequently
discontinued.
In conclusio n permit us to say that we will profit by criticism
as far as it is warranted by tact or sustained by reason. As far as our

critics are misinformed as to fact or fail in impartial judgement,a lit—

tle temcorary harm may he done,hut not much'for at last ihe Stntu Col«

lege must stand or fall or its real merits as an institution of learning

The present coupe of professors must in the course of nature grad-

The Board of Trustees has alvay been uareful.conservative and

 Educational circles throughout the United States

and so— or
of America will learn with regret/bf thgkdeath on November
39, 1910 of Matthew Henry Buckhem, eleventh President of the
University of Vermont, into which office he was inducted in
1371, succeeding James Burrill Angell, late President of the
University of hichigan in that high office. Dr. Buckham was
born in Leicesterchire, England, in 1831, and came to this
country with his parents in infancy. His father, who was
born in Scotland, was brought up in the Presbyterian Church,
but after his removal to England, became a clergyman of the
Independent or Congregational Church. Upon arriving in this
country, he settled in Vermont, continuing in the ministry of
the Congregational Church until his death.

Matthew, the subject of this brief sketch, entered
University of Vermont at the early age of fifteen, gradu—
:‘in 1351, with the highest honors. Shortly after gradu—

he became Principal of Lenox Academy, Lenox, Muses, and
tutor in the University of Vermont. Sometime thereafter
he went abroad and studied for several years in Europe, devot—
ing hinself nrincinelly to Greek, to the chair of which he was
syncinted in his alma mater on his return from abroad. In
18?1 Dr. James B. Angell resigned the presidency of the Uni—
'm1e presidency Cf the'Univcrsity of Hichi-
resignation Dr. Buckhem was unanimously

eition. His thorough education in

ride knowledge of history and his university training

experience both as student and professor eminently quali-
fied him for the duties of the high'office into which he was
inducted and in which he continued to serve the University of

Vermont until his death!

After the resignation of President Patterson of the

 

 0

-9-
State University of Kentucky, Dr. Buckham became the oldest
surviving President in point of service of any State Univer-
sity in America. The University of Vermont made marked prog-
ress in growth and in development after Dr. Buckham oceans
President. During his administration the number of students
matriculated increased seven-fold, the available resources
of the University ten—fold, and the faculty five-fold. Dur-
ing his long period of service the University grounds were
adorned and beautified and new buildings added, notably the
Billings Library, to the erection of which Mr. illings, an
alumnus of the institution, contributed $150,000., and which
is one of the nest attractige library buildings in,Aherica,
and the home for young men, erected at a cost of $200,000.,
through the munificence of the late in. Conant of Philadel—
phia.

The University of Vermont has as an integral part

of its organization one of the oldest medical colleaes in

America. Founded in 1825, it has given to the medical pro—

fession in the United States some of the most distinguished
members of the faculty of medicine.

degree, his range of information wide and hit
y with the problems of the day, civic, educational and ec~
cleeiastical, was unsurpassed in its compass and in its depth.
ingularly modest and unobtrusive in his demeanor, a great oc-
casion was required to bring out the wealth of his knowledge
and elegance
and the dignity/of his expression. The writer has frequently
remarked upon the unsurpassed beauty of his style and his easy

and graceful elocution.

For many years he was a member of the Association

 

 rr

-3.—

of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, and of

the As ssoci au ion of State Universities. When he participated
in the proceedings of these bodies, he was listened to with

the most profound respect and all who heard him felt inspired
and stimulated by his utterances. He impressed all with whom
he came in contact by his si nguler candor, his freedom from
hypocrisy and cant, his robust and manly honesty and integrity,
his devotion to educational ideals and his thoroughly safe

and sound conduct and management of educational affo.i

Dr. Buckham was ordained a minister of the Congre—
gational Church early in life. While ready to ac e1t whatever
3f permanent value was obtained through biblical criticism
and arches ological research, he adhered stoutly to the funda-
mental essentials of Christianity.

He died full of years and of honors, leaving behind
him a name and a reputation second to none of the illustrious
men who preceded him in the presidency of the University of
Vermont. The University was founded in 1790. It has been
fortunate in the great men who have been called to preside
over its destinies, men of ample scholarship, broad culture,
scientific training, university education at home and abroad,
exgerience in collegiate work and administration. They were
able to discern the wants and adjust themselves to educa—
tional problems with rare insight, assiduity and suCCoss. They
were no hep—hazard, rule of thumb empirics, but men trained to
do the work which only trained men can do. Austin e;d Marsh
and Torrey, each of whom stood in the foremost rank sarong edu~
cated men in America, did much to make the university famous.
Their mantle fell upon Matthew Henry Buckhem, who oarriedon
worthily the traditions of the great university whose founders

and builders they were, and reds its name and work still more

famous than it had been under the leadership othts illustri—

ous predecessors.
