/by an Act of the Legislature, approved February 15, 1869, the Regents were authorized to establish a University, consisting of six departments or colleges.
1. A college of ancient and modern languages, mathematics and natural science.
2. A college of agriculture.
3. A college of law.
4. A college of medicine.
5. A college of practical science, mechanics and civil engineering.
6. A college of fine arts.
In conformity to this law, the Regents, February 7, 1871, resolved to open the first department of the University in the fall, and on the 4th of April they selected a corps of competent and experienced professors, and fixed the time of opening, Thursday, September 7,1871.
In order to increase the usefulness of the University, and to provide instruction by a tutor, a Latin School was organized, in which students not fully qualified for the college classes might receive instruction. This school will be discontinued as soon as practicable.
For the detailed statement of the names of the Board of Regents, and its officers, the Faculty and the different courses of study; chemical and philosophical apparatus, and the catalogue of students' names for the first year, see the accompanying Register and Catalogue.
