Book excerpt: For the school year 1923-24 reports were received from 913 universities, colleges, and professional schools. Of this number 144 are under public control and 769 under private control; 150 are independent professional schools. There are 165 schools of theology, 124 schools of law, 80 schools of medicine, 43 schools of dentistry, 63 schools of pharmacy, 6 schools of osteopathy, and 12 schools of veterinary medicine. In 1922 reports were received from 780 universities, colleges, and professional schools. The addition of 133 reports of schools in 1924 is due in part to the efforts of field agents of the Bureau of Education, who secured many reports by personal visits. This bulletin provides statistical data on: professors and instructors, students, degrees, property, and receipts from reporting universities, colleges, and professional schools in the 1923-24 academic year. Comparative statistics are also provided. (Contains 31 tables.) [This bulletin represents Chapter XXII (p575-735) of "Biennial Survey of Education, 1922-1924." Best copy available has been provided.].
