List of universities and colleges from which no information has been received. Table 43 presents the statistics of 48 schools of science endowed with the national land grant. These report 527 instructors and 5,822 students, 417 of the former and 3,468 of the latter belonging to the regular course. Table 44 presents the statistics of 42 schools of science not endowed with the land grant, having 447 instructors and 4,263 students; of the former 439 aud of the latter 3,789 are reported in the regular course. The extent to which the schools reported in Table 43 are fulfilling the leading purposes specified in the act of 1862, viz, the teaching of such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, is a question constantly recurring. An especial effort was made during the year to ascertain the number of students in each of the schools engaged in the study of agriculture. The result is set forth in the following table, collected from the most recent information: TABLE 40.-Number of collegiate and agricultural students in the "colleges of agriculturs and the mechanic arts." The following statement shows the number of schools of science and departments of this class, with instructors and students, as reported to this Office each year from 1876 to 1886, inclusive (1883 omitted). These numbers' include the national Military and Naval Academies : Number of institutions. Number of instructors.
