Probably few people realize the extent and value of the land in
the University. At present the University has the second largest cam
pus in the world. The largest school campus is found at Mount Berry
Schools, Home.
The University was endowed with
40,000 acres of land In 1784. Since
that time It has decreased to 16,000
acres. Much off-campus land has been
and is continuing to be added to the
University through various acquisi
tions and gifts.
Over 4,000 acres of land has been
added to the Institution since 1914.
A grant from Wood-Flemlng Cor
poration added 120 acres, valued at
813,066, to the University In 1963.
The present value of off-campus land
is $280,486.
The major portion of the Univer
sity's land Is devoted to agriculture.
North and South campuses comprise
only about 320 acres. The remaining
portion is devoted to farms and ex
periment stations.
Much of the land Is devoted to
farms operated by the agronomy, ani
mal husbandry, dairy, horticulture
and poultry departments. The poul
try department also maintains a mod
ern experiment station on Whitehall
road. Approximately 15,000 acres of
land is used for agricultural educa
tion, research and experiment. Near
ly all tho farms have the latest and
most modern equipment available.
The smaller portion of land, which
comprises Franklin Campus, Is val
ued at $197,600.
