Tóm tắt
The primary purpose of an academic farm at any college or university should be to enhance agricultural learning through demonstration and research. At a private liberal arts institution such as Wilmington College, the purposes of an academic farm are sometimes expanded to include revenue for the college, food for the dining halls, and, at times, a location for students to work. Most land-grant colleges and universities, and their farms, have a common genesis in the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The farms at independent colleges, by contrast, were not mandated legislatively but have separate histories as to how their farms became part of their respective educational institutions. Usually, there is a common denominator of an individual faculty member or college administrator who championed the purposes of a farm for the college. To truly appreciate a specific college farm, one has to identify and understand the roots of both the college and its agricultural program. This chapter will provide a history of the farm system at Wilmington College, which has persevered since its founding in 1946 and continues to flourish today.
