APPENDIX E. 



A LIST OF STATE UNIVERSITIES AND FEDERAL LAND-GRANT 

 COLLEGES, ^A'ITH THE DATES OF THEIR ORGANIZATION. 



Note. — -IVIost of the State universities owe their origin wholly or in part to Fed- 

 eral land grants in connection with the Morrill act, or by special acts passed by Con- 

 gress. The thirteen original States and six others have received no land grants, 

 except for agricultural and mechanical colleges. All the Territories have had land 

 grants for educational purposes except the District of Columbia and Alaska. Of 

 the thirteen original States only four — Virginia, Georgia, and North and South Caro- 

 lina — have founded and maintained State universities; six — Massachusetts, Connecti- 

 cut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire — founded in 

 colonial days in.stitutions which have become practically State universities; New 

 York, though fairly liberal to its colleges, has never concentrated its patronage; 

 Maryland and Delaware have practically ignored the university question. In the 

 other States without grants — Vermont, Maine, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, and 

 West Virginia — the efforts to found State institutions have been attended with nmch 

 difficulty, and it is evident to one who studies the subject that their educational sys- 

 tems are probably much less prosperous than they would have been had they received 

 assi.stance from the General Government similar to that given their sister States.' 



In the following list institutions wholly or in part supported by the State are des- 

 ignated b)' the symbol f. Institutions organized or extended in scope in connection 

 with the Morrill act of 1862 are designated by the .symbol *. Institutions main- 

 tained in connection with the Hatch act are designated by the symbol A. Institu- 

 tions whose names are indented are subordinated to those which precede them. 



The total amount of land given by the General Government for State educational 

 work has been 1,995,920 acres. The total amount appropriated by the vStates for 

 higher education is shown by Blackmar to have been ^27,475,646.
