Through his efforts, the Secretary of War in 1804 sent a deputation from the Society of Friends in Maryland to a location near Andrews, Indiana to instruct Indians in the arts of agriculture.<\/li>\n<li>Fifty-eight years passed before the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 took place, which allowed for creation of Land Grant Colleges such as Purdue.<\/li>\n<li>The first recorded organized high school class in agriculture started at Westfield High School in Hamilton County in 1906 and that between the years of 1906 and 1911 the teaching of agriculture developed locally.<\/li>\n<li> On August 11, 2012, Purdue\u2019s Agricultural Education program held Agricultural Education\u2019s Centennial Celebration on the Purdue campus. It was determined that 2012 would mark the date for the Centennial Anniversary based upon the fact that one hundred years ago, in 1912, Samuel S.
