Did you know?

Did you know that when UMass first started as Massachusetts Agricultural College that tuition was only $36? Of course this was in 1867.
This picture is of the Durfee Conservatory which was built in 1867. The picture is facing where the library stands today. This is before the pond was put in.

I found all this information at this site http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/youmass/doku.php. It has interesting information all about campus. It has information on buildings, people, publications, and more. You may not get too many questions where this would be helpful but thought you may find it interesting.
