Amherst was settled in about 1730, by English immigrants who moved from Boston into Connecticut, and then north along the Connecticut River into Hadley and its surrounding areas. In 1734 the eastern inhabitants of • 1I Hadley became a separate settlement called the "Hadley Third Precinct. In 1759 Massachusetts Governor Pownell officially changed the name of the settlement to Amherst, in honor of Lord Jeffrey Amherst, hero of the • Battle of Quebec. The name "Amherst ll is of Saxon origin and signifies IIborder of a forest. 1I • Throughout the Revolutionary War, Amherst was an agricultural town. Later, industry developed through the use of water and steam power available from the town's two major streams--the Mill River and the Fbrt • River. Major industries were the production of carriages, textiles, tools, bricks, wood and paper products, and hats. Today education is the major industry in Amherst, industrial pro­ • duction has been almost discontinued. Amherst1s minor industries today are basically facilities supporting the educational community. In fall 1975 there were 25,884 students enrolled at the University of Massachusetts • at Amherst, as well as several thousand students at Amherst and Hampshire • Colleges. Most of these students live in and around the town of Amherst. I I II I -1­ II ,. ... II • -2­ HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF THE • UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AT AMHERST • The University of Massachusetts. the state university of the Common­ wealth of Massachusetts. was founded in 1863 under provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862. This land grant act endowed colleges in every • state of the union to meet the demand for technical education. The original bill was formed by Senator Justin L. Morrill of Vermont. It provided that public land be assigned to the several states and territories, • the funds from the sale of which were to be used to establish and maintain colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts. Although the main objective of such colleges was training in agriculture and mechanical arts, they • were to include other scientific and classical subjects in order to promote both the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes. • Massachusetts accepted the provisions of the Morrill Act in 1863 and im­ mediately began to plan for a new college. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was already organized. and it was decided that instruction • in mechanical arts should be given there. For this reason. the college. when founded. was an agricultural school. The General Court required that $75.000 be raised and presented to the trustees by the town in • which the college was to be located. Northampton. Lexington. Springfield and Amherst complied with this request. After much discussion. Amherst was finally selected as the location for the college and a 310 acre • tract of land was purchased. Incorporated as Massachusetts Agricultural College in April 1863. the institution first opened its doors to 56 students in 1867 with four • faculty members and four wooden buildings. Admission requirements were: "students to be sixteen years of age. and to pass such examination as is I required for admission to Normal Schools. and such further examination as shall be prescribed." The eXisting departments in the first year were: Agriculture and Horticulture; Physics. Mathematics and Engineering; I Natural History; Chemistry; Political Economics. Intellectual Philosophy and Christian Morals; Comparative Anatomy and Animal Physiology. in­ cluding Veterinary Surgery and Medicine; Modern Languages and Literature; I and Physical Education. including Military Tactics. Reflecting the broadening interests of the institution's students. the University was authorized to grant graduate degrees in 1892. The first I two graduate degrees were awarded in 1896. In 1908 the Graduate School was established as a separate unit of the institution. The General Court of Massachusetts authorized a new name for the college--Mass­ I achusetts State College--in April 1931. In May 1947. the name was changed again to the University of Massachusetts. at that time having an .enrollment of 2,407 and a faculty of 160. I The years since 1947 have been years of rapid growth for the University. I, This growth and the simultaneous increase in the quality of education I • -3­ have been made possible largely by the changes that have taken place in the system of governmental controls that previously hampered academic • progress. The IIFreedom Bi11 11 of 1956 gave the University authority to appoint properly qualified faculty members at any salary within the established range for the rank in question. The IIAutonomy Bill II of 1962 transferred full control (within the limits of the budget and of the • state salary scale) over professional personnel policies to the Board of Trustees; many governmental controls over purchasing were also transferred • to the University. Rapid expansion began for the campus in 1960, a year in which the student population was 6,495 and a total of 366 faculty and other academic pro­ • fessionals were employed on campus. In 1970, to facilitate the coordin­ ation of the three growing campuses at Amherst, Worcester, and Boston, the President's office was moved from Amherst to Boston. At the same time, the administration of the Amherst campus was reorganized and the • position of Chancellor as Principal Administrative Officer was created. By this time, in 1970, the Amherst campus enrollment had reached 20,462 • and the faculty had grown to 1,134. Currently there are 25,884 students enrolled at the Amherst campus, and 1,476 faculty members. Students may enroll in 95 degree programs at the • undergraduate level, including 12 two-year programs. Fifty-nine degree programs are offered at the master's level and 46 programs at the doctoral level. During the past fiscal year a total of 5,874 degrees were conferred: 4,305 at the undergraduate level; 224 from Stockbridge; and 1,365 at the • graduate level. We are in the final stages of construction on the Graduate • Research Center. • • •Ii • •Ii I: I: • -4­ UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AT AMHERST • ESTABLISHMENT OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES • College of Arts and Sciences (established January 12, 1949) Faculty of Humanities
