The existence of Cornell University is due to the bounty of the United States and of Ezra Cornell. On the second day of July, 18(52, Congress passed an act granting public lands to the several States which should "provide at least one college where the leading objects shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the me- chanic arts/' Thirty thousand acres for each of its senators and representatives yi Congress were appropriated to every State ; and the share of the State of New York was nine hundred and ninety thousand acres in land scrip. On the twenty-seventh of April, 1865, the Legislature of New York incorporated u The Cornell University," appropriating to it the income arising from the sale of this land scrip. The most important conditions were, that Ezra Cornell should give to the University five hundred thousand dollars; that the University should give instruction in branches relating to agriculture, me- chanic arts, and military tactics; and that it should receive, with- out charge for tuition, one student annually from each assembly district. Mr. Cornell fulfilled the first requirement of the char- ter, and made an additional gift of more than two hundred acres of land, with buildings, to be used as a farm in connection with the department of agriculture The Act of Incorporation satisfies the condition of the con- gressional grant by providing for instruction in such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, and in military tactics, "in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." And it further declares that " such other branches of science and knowledge may be embraced in the plan 11 X / 12 ORGANIZA TION AND GOVERNMENT. of instruction and investigation pertaining to the University, as the trustees may deem useful and proper." The University, organized in accordance with the requirements of its charter, was opened on the seventh of October, 1868. TRUSTEES. The number of trustees, when the Board is full, is twenty- three. The eldest male lineal descendant of the Founder is, by the law of the State, a trustee, as are also seven others, the Pres- ident of the University, the Governor of the State of New York, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Speaker of the Assembly, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the President of the State Agricultural Society, and the Librarian of the Cornell Library. Of the remaining fifteen, two are elected annually by the trustees and one by the alumni. The term of every trustee not ex officio is five'years. FACULTY. The Faculty consists of professors, associate professors, and assistant professors, and is aided by non-resident professors and lecturers, and by instructors and examiners. It comprises the following special faculties: Arts; Literature; Philosophy; Sci- ence; Agriculture; Architecture; Chemistry and Physics; Civil Engineering; Mathematics; Mechanical Engineering and the Mechanic Arts ; Natural History ; and History and Political Sci- ence. The several special faculties constitute standing commit- tees to which are referred questions relating to the departments under their control, but their action is subject to the approval of the general faculty. STATE STUDENTS. The ninth paragraph of the original Act of Incorporation pro- vides tor the admission of one student annually from each assem- bly district without payment of tuition. The number thus re- ceived, when all the scholarships are filled, is five hundred and twelve.

Originally, this land was part of the Louisiana Purchase, and some of the land had been reserved for Native American relocation following various treaties of the 1830s and 1840s.

    DESERT VERSUS GARDENj THE ROLE OF WESTERN IMAGES IN THE SETTLEMENT OF KANSAS by ARNOLD C. PLANK S., KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY, I960 A MASTER'S THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History, Political Science, and Philosophy KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1962 311.73 i Kilo* 'Hi fit 1 ^t PREFACE An uninhabited and relatively unknown West influenced American thought and action throughout the period of westward movement. The un- familiar, treeless plains west of Missouri intensified the impact and resulted in the formation of an image of a "Great American Desert" east of the Rockies. This study is an evaluation of the effects of this pre- conceived notion and its modification on the time and nature of settlement in Kansas, the central province on the eastern edge of the High Plains. I am indebted to the staff of the Kansas State Historical Society Library at Topeka where much of the needed material was made readily available. I also wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Charles N. Qlaab and Dr. Philip M. Rice for their patient guidance in the preparation of this thesis. H ii TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE PREFACE i LIST OF FIGURES AND TABLES iii CHAPTER I.

Lewis ___________________________ Dr. Sean O'Neill © Copyright by JOHN MARK RHEA 2012 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgments As historians we study change and continuity over time. Through our words the dead are made to live probable lives and long-past events are given possible forms. Our profession is built on the belief that the past has something to say to us, that by-gone eras can yet illuminate the present. With some trepidation we keep alive the Confucian observation, “those who do not learn the lessons of the past are condemned to relive them.”1 Yet in a really profound way history is more often an intellectual and emotional process by which we say goodbye. In this respect the historian tackles cultural myths, abuses of power, miscarriages of justice, frightful bigotry, sexism, prejudice, ignorance and invisibility. We diligently pursue the complex cultural stories hidden within chronological events so that flawed humans from the past can encourage flawed humans of the present to make wiser choices. As historians we say a great deal exerting a strong sense of moral and ethical certainty, indeed our dirty little secret is that we hope to change the course of history for the better.
