These colleges have won a very distinct place in American educational life, and doubtless have had much to do with the phenomenal industrial development of the past forty years. The institutions known as land-grant colleges" form the only class receiving aid directly from the National Government, except the Military and Naval academies. The first aid was given in the form of public lands; but the funds arising from their sale being insufficient to meet the growing needs of these institutions they were supplemented in 1890 by provision for an annual grant, beginning with $15,000 to each and gradually increasing until in 1900 it reached the maximum of $25,000, at which it remains. These institutions at present number sixty-five. Separate institutions for white and for colored students are maintained in each one of the South Atlantic and South Central States, thus causing a division of the fund to which the State is entitled between two institutions. The income derived from Federal sources being restricted to maintenance, it was necessary for each State to make provision for buildings, apparatus, sites, etc., and this has been generously done in each and every instance. The individual States may be said to have shared with the National Government equally in the upbuilding of these useful institutions. The Report of the Commissioner of Education for 1903 shows that 47.6 per cent of all moneys received by landgrant colleges was derived from the States and Territories. The Federal grants did not in all cases result in the creation of new institutions, but in many of the States new departments to meet the requirements of the act of 1862 were engrafted upon some institution already established.
