SEE ALSO 56453 Forty-fourth Legislature. House. No. 39. Minority report of the Committee on Agriculture, February 16, 1865. Five men responded
to the report of those commissioned to locate the new agricultural college by offering an untitled act. It was the responsibility of an unpaid Board
of Trustees to locate and obtain a site for the college and its farms, and then establish and maintain the school. The funds for it would come from
the land sales set up in the federal bill and any other monies they could find. In addition to hiring the professors, they had to arrange for practical
education and military tactics training. There would be no tuition for in-state students. The school should try to be self-sustaining. The
trustees would make two reports to the Legislature each year. The act spent quite a bit of time explaining what would happen if the trustees misbehaved,
almost as if they expected malfeasance. The act did not attempt to reconcile the big financial discrepancy between it and the report. (Digitized from
a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Maine Historical Society Library, the Maine State Library, and the Library of Congress).
