The Congress of the United States
in its session Of 1862, passed an ac
providing for the endowment of Ma
tioual Colleges 10 each State. now gen
orally knewn in some States, as Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Colleges. Tt
each State agreeing to provide build
ings and suitable accompapiments FOL
the practical study of agriculture and
the mechanical arts, 10000 acres o.
land were granted for each Cougression
al District. t q
Section 4th Of the act reads: THE
leading object Chat of the Agricultur'
/, and Mechanical College, shall be-
without excluding other scientific and
classical studies and including military
tactics, to teach such branches Of learn
ing as ure related to agriculture and
the mechanical arts, 10 such manner
as the legislatures Of the States may
respectively prescribe 10 order to pro-
mote the liberal and practical educa-
cation of the industriai classes in the
several pursuits and professions Of
life."
Under this act, some States have
originated Independent Institutions,
and others have made the Asricultur.
al and Mechanical College q special
department.
The State of Illinois has established
Illinois Industrial Unise ersity" at
Champaign. Lard and Buildings ra-
ted at $4OO. 900 are owned, besides 25,-

bracirg two schools; 4. College Of
Literature and Science. embracing two
