CHAPTER IV. UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES, AND TECHNOLOGICAL SCHOOLS. For the year ending June, 1913, this bureau received reports from 596 universities, colleges, and technological schools. States or municipalities control 94 of these institutions, and 502 are controlled by private corporations. A few colleges have each year failed to report, and when this occurs for two years in succession their names are dropped from the tabular lists. Others, as New Windsor College, Maryland, cease to exist; or are combined with other institutions, as in the case of the union of Baldwin University and German Wallace College in Ohio; or become academies or junior colleges, as WardBelmont School, formerly known as Belmont College for Young Women, Tennessee. Additions to the tabulated list include those institutions newly opened for instruction, as Roanoke Woman's College, Virginia; and those from which reports are received after the lapse of two years. The names of the institutions thus dropped or added will be found in the following list: CHANGES IN TABULATED LIST OF COLLEGES.
