The President's Annual Report
To,
The Trustees of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Sirs':
, '
In presenting thIs 'report of the condition and progress of the Institute during the
session 1900-1~Ol, 'I have the 'honor to state, there were registered 414 matriculates
the -largest number ever enrolled' in one session. Of these, 341, were .froID ' Alabama
23 from Georgia, 17 from Fl orida, and the remainder f r om ten other states, with two
from Nicaragua and one from Cuba.
Among t he number were 12 young women, who, by their faithf ulness general ly, ranked
high in their classes.
The general conduct of the students has .been exceptionally praiseworthy, and earnest
attention to educational work has been given by the majority, though 'an unusual
number has been .dropped from the rolls for neglect of study. '
The lat ter cadets were from those of t he lower classes who were not qualiffied by
training and discipline to appreciate t he advantages of a collegiate institute,
and who were by nature not fond .of .study.
The ,defi9i:enCY of good rural schools of high grade in our state requires us 'to
maintain a sub-freShman class in .order' to train those ' who ar-e not qualified, and
have not .had the opportunity of qualifying,"themselves, for regular college ·work~
When education in our State is suffieiently developed, it will not be -necessary .
to retain this sub-coll ege class. But for the present, and until then we deem it
our duty to ·continue the admissiQn of worthy applicants ~lmmissiMK

who are not prepared for the
cation. During this session
aga from 15 to 22 years.
freshman class, and t o make provision for their eduabout
fifty were adrrdtted £ ~ that class, varying in
• J , J
'ATHLETICS
The students have taken the usual interest in- the exercises ~f the gymnasium and
in general athletics. This is encouraged so far as beneficial. But care is. taken
that these exercises are not permitted to interfere with their studies, by limiting
the time for athletics t~ the hours after 4 p.m. and also by limiting the
number of public games.
SCHOOLS OF ¥JNES AND MINING ENGINEERING
During the first ses'sion of the) 66th Congr.ess a Bill to establi·sh a School of
Mines an~Yiining Engineering in connection with each land-grant college was passed '
in the U. S. Senate~ without a dissenting vote; subsequently, though unanimously
recolDlIlended by the Committee on lUnes and ¥.tinfng of the. House of Representatives,
it failed t o become a law, because political necessities required that it should
not be introduced. Unless unforeseen conditr ons in~ervene, it is believed that
a similar measure will. early be enacted into a law.
114
~fuen that is done, and the school for Alabama is established at this Institute,
the technical education given will represent the four main departments of engineering,
and with each mutually aSSisting the others, they will become potent factors ·
in promoting the industrial development of the State.
ENDOWMENT PERl-1ANENT .
As a relief t o the apprehension in regard to the permanency of the endowment f~om
the gnenral government, I would state that the Homestead Bill, approved May 17,
1900, . contains the provision that lIif at any time ~the proceeds of the sale of
_p~bliQ l~ds are insufficient to pay the ,C'ollege Annuities of the .Act of 1890, such
deficiencies· should ,be paid from the Treasury of the. U. S.II This provision places
the endowment beyond any contingency~
H~.LTH OF CADETS
/ .
The Surgeon has been prompt and regular in attendance to meet .the demands of the
students. The number of cases of siclmess arising from la grippe and the mumps
vas· unusually large, but in no case serious. Several were ill with pneumonis, but
in only one instrance was there a fatal result. ~ This was, the fourth death of a
student that has occurred at the College in the last eighteen years. The uniformly
close attention paid the health of the students by the Surgeon merits your commendation.
THE Y. M,CH A.
The Y. Iv1. C. A. has been cenduated by the stUdents with .efi'~ciency and with ~ood 1
results .for the College. They have been assisted by ·ministers· of the- different
chuz:ch,es, and, by the .laciies' auxiliary, in ·t 'heir Sunday afternoon meetings. They-.
have a ~eparate room set apart for their private meetings, and ,the use of the
, Assembly Hall for their public lectures.
HONORARY. DEGREES
The faculty have presented for your consideration some names for honorary academic ·
degrees. This recommendation was made before they discovered that there was a law
on your books prohibiting the conferring of such degrees. With the propriety of
this law, I think they unanimously concur. I, therefore, recommend that you direct
to be published in the catalogue that IINo honorary degree of any character will be
given by th~s Institute." This will give the Institute a distinctive character
of one conferring honors only for . work done, and .not a. s a compliment. I also
recommend that you by special order approve of the de-grees nvw given, . .as. stated ltn
thepresent catalogues, and of t~e ~hanges made therein.
EXPERIMENT STATION
Professor F. S. Earle, Professor of Biology and Horticulture, has rewigned his
positiop to take effect. July 1. He has been an efficient and taithful' officer,
who is widely and favorably known· as an expert in his Department of Botanyl He~
has noW' been called to a similar position in Columbia University, N.Y. . I will
for. his successor, submit the names of competent persons for your censideration.
Dr. P. I. IvIurrill, the Acting ·Pr9:fessor· of Chemistry, who has .for the past year f
filled the position occupied by ~rofessor B~ B. Ross, now, witn your. approval,
absent at a German University, has with faithfulness and ability conducted in a
satisfa~ty manner the large classes under his charge. Professor Ross expects to
return in time to take charge next session.
115
FA~~' INSTITUTES
Under the directiol'l of Doctor Cary, assisted ~"by other officers at the EXPeriment
Station, seventeen Institutes have been conducted among the farmers of --the State,
in sixteen different counties.
I regard these farmer's institutes of much value asa means of diffusing a know- ·
ledge of scientific agriculture among the people, and recommend for your approval
a renewal -&f the appropriation made for that purpose, and would recommend an increase
were means available. The officers perfor.m this work without remuneration, the
appropriation being used only to pay for necessary expenses.
IMPROVEMENTS
The forge and foundry building has been enlarged and improved and supplied with ·
additional equipment, the forge department being furnished with additional Buffalo
forges with hoodS, and underground smoke drafts. The boiler house has been enlarged
and a new 100 H. P. Heine water tube boiler installed. A safety tank of boiler
iron has been placed in the upper room in the tower, instead of the old unsafe _
sheet iron tank formerly used. With the approval of the Executive Committee, application
was made to the Legislature for funds sufficient to construct a steel tower
with large tank for protection· against fire. This.:application was -not approved for
want of funds.
D~PROV~~TS NEEDED
The large increase of students in Mechanical Engine~ring has so filled the room -at
our disposal as to require an enlargement.
It is -prop:o:sed to enlarge the machine department by extending the wing fifty feet.
This is necessary to provide f or the increased classes. It is estimated that this
buildigg with the necessary fixtures will cost $1,930 -
and the machinery required 1,450 $3,380.
I recommend that this amount be appropriated for the purpose specified.
LIBRARY
The Library contained in three adj oining rooms is open to students and officers
daily from 9 to 5. The General Library is much used by students as a reading
t oom and contributes greatly ~o the general education and interest. It is recognized
as an important feature in the collegiate equi pment, aBd receives monthly
accessions in valuable works and periodicals published.
PHARMACY . ,
Pr ofessor Hiller of the Department of Pharmacy, presents an application to be
granted a leave of absence for -one year, in order that he may attend a German
University . He requests this provided "a satisfactory and acceptable substitute is
furnished to conduct "the .department. I recoro.mend that this application be -
granted.
The i ncreased knowledge and enlarged views acquired by coming in contact with the -
leading men of the world in sC:ience, will add greatly to the educational strength
of your faculty, and hence to the benefit of the students.
116
FREE-HAl':JD DRA\VING
This , subject has not been taught in our Ins~itut~. It should be • . 1 propose
th~refore, with your approval, instea~ of employing an exp~rt with a .large salary
to require the young graduate who may be selected to ~ssist in Drawing~ to attend
the summer school at Harvard to obtain instruction therein, and for the purpose
I r~commend an appropriation of $125.00.
