Forty-third Legislature. House. No. 6 On February 9, 1864, Governor Cony forwarded a letter. On February 5, 1864, Mr. Francis O. J. Smith offered
his 90 acre property with a large house and outbuildings near roads and railroads outside of Portland if the state would use it as Primary Agricultural
College Campus and sustain it in perpetuity. He suggested the recent federal Morrill grant funds could be used to establish smaller facilities in
various parts of the state to get diversity of soils, weather, etc. He wanted the school to be non-sectarian. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of
