The Capitol Buildings of Kentucky
In April, 1792, a convention assembled at Danville and
prepared a Constitution of Grovernment; and on the fourth
day of the following June, the territory theretofore known
as West Fincastle County, Virginia, was admitted into the
Federal Union, as a sovereign State, the Commonwealth
of Kentucky. On Monday, the fourth of June succeeding,
the first session of the First General Assembly was held at
Lexington, the seat of government of the new State, and
on the fifth of November of the same year the second
session was held. These meetings were held in a rude
two-story log building which was the first temporary State
House. On December 22, 1792, the General Assembly
adjourned to hold its next meeting in the House of Andrew
Holmes, at Frankfort, and thenceforth Lexington ceased to
be the seat of government.
The second State House of Kentucky, also temporary,
was a large frame house, in the lower part of Frankfort.
In this the session of 1793 was held.
The third State House of Kentucky (the first perma¬
nent one) erected for the purpose, was occupied for the
fir^t time as the capitol by the third General Assembly on
Monday, November 3, , 1794. This is described by his¬
torians as being of stone, very rough and unsightly, and
three stories high. The first floor.was occupied by the
public offices; on the second floor were the hall of the
House of Representatives, and the several courts of jus¬
tice ; the Senate chamber was in the third story, and hence
the distinction of that early day of the "upper" and "lower"
house. The records show that the State paid not exceed¬
ing $3,500 toward the erection of the first permanent
capitol, the remainder having been subscribed by Andrew
Holmes and others to secure the location at Frankfort.
It was destroyed by fire November 25, 1813.
The fourth State House of Kentucky was, of course,
temporary, a building having been rented by the State
until the completion of a new capitol.
The fifth State House of Kentucky (the second perma¬
nent capitol), was built in 1814-16. Us construction was
authorized by act of January 31, 1814, when a commission
was appointed to cdhtract for and superintend the erec-

tion of a new capitol. It was constructed at a cost of
140,000, of which $20,900 was realized from individual
subscriptions and the balance was appropriated by the
State. The building was of brick, two stories high, with
two rooms on the first fioor, which were utilized by the
Legislature, while the courts of justice were accommo¬
dated on the second fioor. There were two wings de¬
tached from the main building used as offices by the
State officials. On November 4, 1824, the second perma¬
nent State House was burned, leaving only the wings
intact.
The sixth State House (again temporary), and rendered
necessary by the recent fire, consisted of the seminary
building on the east side of the capitol square, where the
Senate held its session, and the large meeting house on
the west side, which was occupied by the House of
Representatives. On December 12, 1825, the latter body
was again forced to move, as the meeting house burned,
and the sessions were held in the Methodist church, for
the use of which a voluntary rent was paid.
The seventh State House of Kentucky (the third per¬
manent capitol) was first occupied by both houses of the
Legislature on December 7, 1829. and the same in which
the sessions were held until 1908. Six different appro¬
priations were made for the erection of this capitol, of
sums amounting to about $85,000 in the aggregate. Col¬
lin's History, published in 1878, describes it in the follow¬
ing manner:"It is q large and very handsome structure,
built of polished Kentucky marble, with a portico in front
supported by six columns of the Ionic order. The Senate
and Representative halls are in the second story, each of
moderate capacity, handsomely finished."
Probably nothing about the State House has been so
universally admired as the marble stairway under the
dome and leading to the legislative halls.
The same authority described the Governor's Mansion
as follows: "A large, plain building o^brick—no longer
creditable to the wealth, pride and public spirit of the
people of Kentucky."
In 1869, new and more commodious State buildings
were projected. An appropriation of $100,000 was made
and a commission was created to formulate plans for the
new capitol. The plans adopted contemplated handsome
east and west wings of three stories, built of dressed

9
stone, and joined by a central structure of which the old
State House proper was to constitute an integral part.
The new building was to he surmounted by a handsome
dome. Porticoes of classic style were to finish the east
and west wings, while in the main front was to he a por¬
tico of Corinthian columns, the whole to present a hand¬
some appearance and at the same time one of severe
simplicity.
The Senate chamber was to he located in the east wing
and the House of Representatives in the west wing and
in the two wings were to he provided offices for the vari¬
ous State officials. In 1871, an additional appropriation of
$55,000 was made, which hut partially completed the work
as already begun, and consequently the east wing was left
and is still in an unfinished condition, while the west
wing was never commenced. Consequently the old west
wing of the second permanent capitol building in 1814-16
still stands. The east wing was occupied by departments
and was known as the executive building.
The General Assembly of 1904 appropriated $1,000,000
for the erection of the present new capitol building, and
upon investigation the commissioners found the old site
inadequate for the building which was proposed to be
erected, and Gov. Beckham convened the General Assembly
in extraordinary session to consider the site favored by
the commission, in 1905, and a new site was chosen about
one mile South of the old building, on a prominent plot
of about forty acres, admirably located for the building.
Ground was broken on August 14, 1905, and the work
begun. The session of 1906 appropriated $250,000 addi¬
tional for marble interior and granite columns.
The session of 1908, on recommendation of Gov. Will-
son, appropriated $450,000 for power house, lighting plant,
furnishings and fixtures, landscaping, etc. Thus with the
cost of the site, for which appropriation was made at the
extraordinary session of 1905, $50,000 appropriated at the
session of 1910, for finishing landscaping and putting in
the approach, a total of $1,820,000, the present magnifi¬
cent building was erected and furnished, making one of the
most complete, handsome and modemly equipped build¬
ings in the United States. It was occupied in the fall of
1909 by public officers and the session of 1910 of the Gen¬
eral Assembly was the llrst to hold its session there.

Commonwealth of Kentucky
PREAMBLE.
We, the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
grateful to Almighty God for the civil, political and re¬
ligious liberties we enjoy, and invoking the continuance
of these blessings, do ordain and establish this Consti¬
tution.
BILL OP RIGHTS.

and have certain inherent and inalienable rights, among
which may be reckoned:
First: The right of enjoying and defending their lives
and liberties.
Second: The right of worshipping Almighty God accord¬
ing to the dictates of their consciences.
Third: The right of seeking and pursuing their safety
and happiness.
Fourth: The right of freely communicating their
thoughts and opinions.
Fifth: The right of acquiring and protecting property.
Sixth: The right of assembling together in a peaceable
manner for their common good, and of applying to those
invested with the power of government for redress of
grievances or other 4)roper purposes, by petition, address
or remonstrance.
18
KENTUCKY DIRECTORY.
Seventh: The right to bear arms in defense of them¬
selves and of the State, subject to the power of the
General Assembly to enact laws to prevent persons from
carrying concealed weapons.
Sec. 2. Absolute and arbitrary power over the lives,
liberty and property of freemen exists nowhere in a
republic, not even in the largest majority.
Sec. 3. All men, when they form a social compact,
are equal; and no grant of exclusive, separate public
emoluments or privileges shall be made to any man or
set of men, except in consideration of public services;
but no property shall be exempt from taxation except
as provided in this Constitution, and every grant of a
franchise, privilege or exemption, shall remain subject to
revocation, alteration or amendment.
Sec. 4. All power is inherent in the people, and all
free governments are founded on their authority and insti¬
tuted for their peace, safety, happiness and the protection
of property. For the advancement of these ends, they
have at all times an inalienable and indefeasible right to
alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner
as they may deem proper.
Sec. 5. No preference shall ever be given by law to
any religious sect, society or denomination; nor to any
particular creed, mode of worship or system of ecclesi¬
astical polity; nor shall any person be compelled to attend
any place of worship, to contribute to the erection or
maintenance of any such place, or to the salary or sup¬
port of any minister of religion; nor shall any man be
compelled to send his child to any school to which he
may be conscientiously opposed; and the civil rights,
privileges or capacities of no person shall be taken away,

process for obtaining witnesses in his favor. He can not
be compelled to give evidence against himself, nor can
he be deprived of his life, liberty or property, unless by
the judgment of his peers or the law of the land; and in
prosecutions by indictment or information, he shall have
a speedy public trial by an impartial jury of the vicinage;
but the General Assembly may provide by a general law
for a change of venue in such prosecutions for both the
defendant and the Commonwealth, the change to be made
to the most convenient county in which a fair trial can
be obtained.
Sec. 12. No person, for an indictable offense, shall be
proceeded against criminally by information, except in
cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia,

the consent of his representatives, and without just com¬
pensation being previously made to him.

Sec. 23. The General Assembly shall not grant any
title of nobility or hereditary distinction* nor create any

time than a term of years.
Sec. 24. Emigration from the State shall not be pro¬
hibited.
Sec. 25. Slavery and involuntary servitude in this
State are forbidden, except as a punishment for crime,
whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.
Sec. 26. To guard against transgression of the high
KfiNftTCKY DIRECTORY.
21
powers which we have delegated, We Declare that every
thing in this Bill of Rights is excepted out of the general
powers of government, and shall forever remain invio¬
late; and all laws contrary thereto, or contrary to this

THE STATE UNIVERSITY
The University af Kentucky was established by Act of
Legislature in 1865, in accordance with the Morrill bill passed
three years previously. It was then known as State College
of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. With the addition of the
College of Liberal Arts and of Law, the institution became
known as the State University in 1908.
In 1916 the name of the institution was changed to that
of the University of Kentucky. The University is supported
by Federal funds and from the one and three-fourths cent tax
on each $100 of assessed valuation and from invested funds.
The institution now has twenty-seven buildings, a student
body of fifteen hundred, and a teaching staff of one hundred
and twelve. With the University are associated the Experi¬
ment Station and Agricultural Extension work. These are
maintained' jointly with the Federal government and the
State government.
Courses are maintained in arts and sciences, agriculture,
mechanical, electrical, civil and mining engineering, and in
law. The graduating . classes average one hundred anu
twenty-five.
The direction of the University is vested in a Board of
Trustees, consisting of the Governor, who is ex-officio Chair¬
man of the Board, the State Superintendent of Public In-
structi'on, and the Commissioner of Agriculture, who are ex-
officio members. In addition three or four members of the
State Board of Agriculture are appointed on the Board for a
period of four years; three Alumni, for a period of six years
each, and six citizens of the State appointed by the Governor.
The University possesses a library of forty thousand vol¬
umes; extensive libraries for engineering, agriculture, me¬
chanical, physical and biological work. . It is a member of
the National Association of State Universities and of the
Southern Association of Schools and Colleges. It contributes
to the support of the American Universities Union and the
American Council on Education.

man of the Board.
KENTUCKY DIRECTORY.

Each county in the State is the unit of appointment, and
each county is entitled annually to appointment to free tui¬
tion in the Normal School of one white pupil for every five
hundred and fraction thereof over two hundred and fifty of
white children, based on the last official school census pre¬
ceding- the appointment. These students are appointed by

tucky after having completed their course.
EASTERN KENTUCKY STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
Richmond, Ky.
Richmond gave to the State for the home of the Eastern
State Normal School the buildings and campus of Old Cen¬
tral University, the famous Presbyterian Institution which
was removed to Danville and united with Centre College in
1.901. The campus lying between South Lancaster Avenue
and South Second Street is one of the most beautiful in the
South. It has a splendid sweep oif bluegrass turf, thickly set
with fine maples and other trees.
The Regents met on June 2, 1906, and elected Ruric Nevel
Roark, at that time an honorary fellow in Clark Uni'Oersity,
as President of the Eastern School. The Model School opened
September 7, 1906; the Normal School opened for students on
January 15, 1907. The first act gave to the Eastern School
an annual appropriation of $20,000 and $5,000 for equipment.
Under the Act of 1908 the school secured an additional annual
appropriation of $20,000 and a special appropriation of $150,000
for new buildings and equipment. In 1912 an additional an¬
nual appropriation of $35,000 was secured, thus bringing the
annual appropriation for the benefit of the school up to
$75,000 per annum. Under the Act of 1918, the method of sup¬
porting the school was changed. Instead 6f a fixed appropria¬
tion of $75,000 a year for maintenance, there was substituted
a millage of of a cent on each $100 worth Oif taxable prop¬
erty in the State to maintain the school and take care of
the erecting of new buildings from year to year and provid¬
ing new equipment.
The purpose of the Eastern State Normal is to do dis¬
tinctly professional work. It devotes itself exclusively to the
training of teachers.
The Board of I^gents at present is composed of Honorable
J. A. Sullivan, of Richmond, Ky.; Judge J. W. Cammack,
Owenton, Ky.; Senator H. M. Brock, Harlan, Ky.; Superin¬
tendent W. P. Price, Corbin, Ky.
