The majority of institutions for higher education in this country are at present carried on under the auspices of the several religious denominations. As stated before, the total number of institutions reporting to the Bureau in 1889 90 is 415, and of this number but 99 claim to be nonsectarian, leaving 316 that are under the control of some religious sect. It must not, however, be inferred that the instruction in denominational institutions has a sectarian bias. On the contrary a large number of them state particularly that their teaching is entirely unsectarian and that students will not be disturbed in their respective religious beliefs. These denominational institutions have been the pioneers of higher education in several States, and have, at least in the Western States, prepared the way for the establishment of good State institutions. This they have succeeded in doing, not by advocating the establishment of such institutions, but by creating and fostering a desire for knowledge and making the people of the several communities realize the value of a liberal education. This much accomplished, the establishment of a State university naturally followed, the funds having been provided by the land policy of the General Government in setting aside certain tracts of land for the purpose of founding institutions of learning. The proceeds arising from the sale of these lands are generally used in the establishment of new institutions in preference to giving the money to some one of the institutions already in operation. This is rendered necessary by reason of the denominational relations of nearly all institutions for higher education not under State control. To give public money to any one of these institutions would cause a great deal of jealousy and bitterness throughout the State. Again, if the money were distributed among the different institutions of the States a great deal of its effectiveness would be destroyed. Thus it will be seen that the States have, as a rule, adopted the most feasible plan. The number of institutions under the control of the several religious denominations is as follows: Denomination of colleges and universities. 99 Nonsectarian. METHODIST. Methodist Episcopal.. Methodist Episcopal South... Zion.. Methodist Protestant. PRESBYTERIAN. Presbyterian Cumberland Presbyterian rian United Brethren Friends Evangelical Association Total. VIII.-ORGANIZATION OF A NUMBER OF LEADING UNIVERSITIES. Having shown the organization of the State universities, an attempt is here made to present in a somewhat similar manner the organization of a number of other leading institutions for higher education in the United States. These institutions are well equipped not only with able professors and instructors, excellently chosen libraries, and scientific apparatus, but with valuable buildings and large productive funds, both of which are necessary for effective work. Nearly all of the selected institutions provide for advanced work in graduate departments in addition to the regular undergraduate and professional courses. They are well supplied not only with endowed professorships, but also with fellowships and scholarships to assist students in obtaining an education As will be observed, all the institutions with two exceptions are located in the extreme eastern section of the country, and among them are included the oldest institutions of the country. They are arranged in the order of their or ganization. The number of professors and students in the several departments in 1889-90 is given. 29 5 52 16 217 2,126 Male. 55 19 101 1,274 19 69 3 112 36 77 265 310 35 3 35 1 2 22 Number of 1 74 49 |
