 tion: Provided, That no money shall be paid out under this act to any state or 

 territory for the support and maintenance of a college where a distinction of 

 race or color is made in the admission of students, but the establishment and

 held to be a compliance with the provisions of this act if the funds received in 

 such state or territory be equitably divided as hereinafter set forth: Provided,

 the education of colored students in agriculture and the mechanic arts, however 

 named or styled, or whether or not it "has received money heretofore under the 

 act to which this act is an amendment, the Legislature of such state may propose 

 and report to the Secretary of the Interior a just and equitable division of the 

 fund to be received under the act between one college for white students and 

 one institution for colored students established as aforesaid, which shall be 

 divided into two parts and paid accordingly, and thereupon such institution for 

 colored students shall be entitled to the benefits of this act and subject to its 

 provisions, as much as it would have been if it had been included under the act 

 of eighteen hundred and sixty-two, and the fulfilment of the foregoing provi- 

 sions shall be taken as a compliance with the provision in reference to separate 

 colleges for white and colored students.
