PROGRESS OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. 
All the States have now accepted the congressional grant, made un- 
der the act of July 2, 1862, for establishing agricultural and mechanical 
colleges, and the dates of their acceptance were all given in the report 
for 1867, except the following: Alabama, December 31, 1868; Arkansas, 
January 31, 1867; Florida, January 30, 1869; Georgia, March 10, 1866; 
Louisiana, March 5, 1869; Mississippi, October 30, 1866; Missouri, 
March 17, 1863; Nebraska, February 13, 1869; North Carolina, Febru- 
ary 24, 1866; South Carolina, December 14, 1866; Tennessee, February 
18, 1868; Texas, November 1, 1866; and Virginia, February 5, 1864. In 
more than half the States agricultural colleges have been established, 
and most of them are in operation. 
CONNECTICUT. 
In the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, at New Haven, 
no material changes have been made since our last report. It is con- 
templated by the trustees to bring together professors and students in 
every department of study, and to build up a national central school of 
pure and applied science. 
The faculty consists of Theodore D. Woolsey, president; William 
Norton, professor of civil engineering and mathematics; William D. 
Whitney, professor of linguistics and German; Samuel W. Johnson, 
professor of agriculture; Daniel C. Eaton, professor of botany; Ches- 
ter 8. Lyman, professor of physics and astronomy; William P. Trow- 
bridge, professor of dynamical and mechanical engineering; Geo. H. 
Brush, professor of metallurgy and mineralogy; Daniel C. Gilman, pro- 
fessor of physical geography and history ; Othniel C. Marsh, professor 
of paleontology ; Addison E. Verrill, professor of zodlogy and geology; 
Eugene C. Delfosse, instructor in French; Louis A. Bail, instructor in 
drawing; Oscar D. Alien, instructor in metallurgy and assaying; 
Daniel H. Wells, instructor in analytical and descriptive geometry; 
Sidney I. Smith, instructor in zodlogy; Mark Bailey, instructor in elocu- 
tion; Thomas R. Lounsbury, instructor in English; William G. Mixter, 
instructor in elementary chemistry ; Albert B. Hill, instructor in sur- 
veying and mechanics; Charles S. Hastings, instructor in physics; 
Joseph H. Adam, instructor in determinative mineralogy; F. Bacon, 
instructor in the laws of health; J. F. Weir, instructor in arts of de- 
sign; General B. 8. Roberts, instructor in military science. The profes- 
. Sors named constitute the governing board of the institution. 
The regular courses of study occupy three years. For admission, the 
student must pass a thorough examination in Davies’s Bourdon’s alge- 
bra as far as the general theory of equations, or its‘ equivalent; in 
geometry, in the nine books of Davies’s Legendre, or their equivalent ; 
and in plane trigonometry, with analytical trigonometry inclusive; and 
also in arithmetic, including the metrical system; geography, United 
States history, and English grammar, including spelling. An acquaint- 
ance with the Latin language is also required, sufficient to read and 
construe some classical author, and Allen’s Latin grammar is recom- 
mended.
