Excerpt from Notes on Polytechnic or Scientific Schools in the United States: Their Nature, Position, Aims Wants

Second - The general English sense, of corporate institutions, intended for purposes of instruction, and surrounded by colleges, as incorporated and endowed lodging places; but to which the university has quite abandoned the work of instruction. Thus the university is a blank form, and the colleges have advanced from merely, each, giving instruction in some one or two branches, to the rank of competitors, with each other, in giving an entire collegiate course, mostly under tutorial instruction, for an academic degree, or a professional degree, in the old professions. Efforts have been made, however, to reform the English Universities in this respect.

Excerpt from Notes on Polytechnic or Scientific Schools in the United States: Their Nature, Position, Aims Wants

It will be convenient to present, first, in these notes, a list of the existing "Scientific Departments" and Technical Schools in the United States, so far as they are known to the writer.

In reference to the first section of the following table; it should be understood that it embraces those schools, whose character as truly distinct professional schools, is most apparent. This distinctive character is more or less obscured in the case of the schools named in the second part of the table, owing to their comparatively undeveloped condition, so far as now known, or else to their being merged in the general courses of the institutions including them. Hence it has been impossible to arrange them in the same list with those of the first section, in the order of definite dates of beginning.

The familiar professional schools - Theological, Medical and Legal - are, as is well known, sometimes separate institutions, and sometimes, attached to colleges. The same is true of Scientific Professional Schools. Hence, in any case where the name does not indicate the fact, the first column of the table shows the condition, in this respect, of each school mentioned.
