Book Description
Excerpt from Status of Organization and Administration of Agricultural Education Among Negroes The land-grant act of 1862 was the beginning of a new era in the American system of higher education. Prior to that time the curricula of institutions of higher learning offered little more than those subjects which would properly fall into the category of classical studies. Since the curricula in those institutions were designed primarily for persons who wished to prepare for the professions of law, medicine, the ministry, or teaching in the purely academic fields, the teachers trained in those insti - tutions had no opportunity to acquire the necessary information and profes - sional training to teach agriculture and the closely related sciences, all of which.are subjects of vital impdrtance in the programs of land - grant insti tutions.
