In accordance with the provisions of the land-grant act of 1862, the Morrill Act of 1890, and the Nelson amendment of 1907, the land-grant colleges and universities of the United States make annual reports to the Secretary of the Interior on the condition and progress of the institutions. Each year the Bureau of Education analyzes these reports. The purpose of this annual study is to set forth, in detail, information on staff, students, income, expenditures, improvements, and other factors which tend to show the progress that the land-grant institutions are making. Contained herein is the report for 1926-1927 in three parts: Part I. General; Part II. Land-grant colleges attended by white students; and Part III. Negro land-grant colleges. (Contains 28 tables.)
