CHAPTER VIII. The North and the South : | ||
II.—PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS.
The condition of the Professional Schools is shown by the
following Table, taken from the same authority as the above.
From this it appears that at the South a larger proportion of
professional students are in the Law Schools than at the North.
Next in order in this respect in Medicine, and last, Theology.
Indeed, the Census Tables do not show where the great body
of the Southern clergy are educated, since but 747 are returned
from the colleges, and only 808 from the Theological
Schools.
It will be noticed that the number of Professional Schools
in the Slave States is 32, and in the Free States 65, or two
to one. The ratio of Professors is a little larger. The number
of Students in the former is 1,807, and in the latter 4,426.
The number of volumes in the libraries of the former is
30,796, and in those of the latter, 175,951; more than five to
one. The number graduated at the former, 3,812, and at the
latter, 23,513; over six to one.
