The data for this report were supplied by key persons in each state who reported them to the monthly newsletter "Grapevine." The data include sums appropriated by states for operating expenses, taxes preallocated to institutions (that is, not requiring periodic appropriation), sums for all state scholarships, appropriations to statewide governing and coordinating boards, and appropriations made separately for medical centers, agricultural experiment and extension stations, and other decentralized facilities. Appropriations for capital outlay and sums clearly originating from sources other than state taxes are excluded. Data are given for each state by year and by institution, and presented in graphs to show trends since 1960. Forty-eight consecutive issues of "Grapevine" (April 1972-March 1976) are included.
