THE 1910 CHERRY TREE The Morrill Acts The Editor of The Cherry Tree has asked me for a story of the Morrill Acts in their relation to the District and the University. The First Morrill Act (1862) distributed over 10,000,000 acres of the public lands among ' the various States and Territories of the Union for the purpose of lending Federal aid to collegiate education in subjects related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, Beginning with the Second Morrill Act of 1890 and continuing with the Nelson Amendment of 1 907 the Federal Government has made an annual appro- priation of money for these same purposes— amounting this year to $40,000 for each State and Territory, $45,000 for next year, and thereafter $50,000 a year. The Gall inger- Bout el l Bill amending the Morrill Acts has two parts: (1) The first section , which would he the act of the Federal Congress as representing the citizens of the various States, would make 1 ‘available for the District of Columbia” the same annual appropriation now granted to each State and Territory, including even Hawaii and Porto Rico, The justice of this feature of the bill is universally admitted. Where there is no “State university or college and the State is not ready to create one, the Interior Department has always permitted the States to utilize the services of existing in- stitutions upon private foundations. For many years this plan was followed by South Carolina, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and it is still followed by New York, New Jersey and Massa- chusett — Cornell, Rutgers and Boston Tech, administering the funds for their respective States. (2) hi the remaining sections of the bill. Congress as the legislature for the District of Columbia would designate this university (there being no State university or college in the District) as the agent of the District legislature in providing the young people of the District with the forms of practical collegiate education contemplated in these Acts. This bill was passed unanimously by the Senate of the last Congress on March 3, 1909 too late for action in the House. The Senate Committee of the Sixtv-first Congress has reported the hill favorably and we are now awaiting the action of the House Committee. President James of the Illinois University, who has been strangely diligent in organizing the opposition against this bill, has asserted that we are a sectarian 1 RICHARD 1). HARLAN
