Excerpt from Agricultural College: Address of Hon. A.A. Sargent, Delivered Before the State Agricultural Society, September 21, 1865 It seems to me the Legislature will not desire the unpleasant responsi bility of allowing this grant to be lost by its failure to take the necessary steps to secure it. The time will come when there will be lands within the State available under this grant, and if not, the grantees of the State may use the scrip in other States, or in the Territories. The peculiar complications of our landed interests depending on congres. Sioual grants would disappear with judicious legislation, The General Government should act upon the principle that grants of land to the State vested an interest from their date - that the Acts of Congress operated as conveyances. This would be equitable, and solve the diffi culty, provided it would also adopt the extensive surveys made by the State officers, to which there can be no valid objection, and then list the lands to the State which the latter has selected and sold, for the benefit of its grantees.
