...2012 College Land Grants: More Education for More People According to the United States Department of Agriculture, there are over 100 land grant colleges and universities in the United States (“National Institute”). Major universities such as the University of Arizona, Nebraska, Washington State, Clemson, and Cornell were chartered as land-grant schools (“100 Milestones”). Land grant colleges and universities are institutions that receive the benefits of the Morrill Act of 1862 and similar acts of Congress (“100 Milestones”). This paper will discuss the origins of college land grants through the Morrill Act of 1862; give brief historical overview of the application of this and other college land grant acts; and the relevance of college land grants in the United States during current times. Initially, the idea of college land grants was debated during the 1850’s. However it wasn’t until The Morrill Act of 1862 that the idea became law (Mansoor). The law was named after U.S. Congressman from Vermont, Justin Smith Morrill (Mansoor). Justin Morrill’s overall goal was to provide for at least one college in each state where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific or classical studies, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts ... in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes. (Mansoor) He also wanted to assure that education would be available to those in all social...

...Animal Science is described as "studying the biology of animals that are under the control of mankind".[1] Historically, the degree was called animal husbandry and the animals studied were livestock species, like cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and horses. Today, courses available now look at a far broader area to include companion animals like dogs and cats, and many exotic species. Degrees in Animal Science are offered at a number of colleges and universities. In the United States, the universities offering such a program were Land Grant Universities and include University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Cornell University, UC Davis, Michigan State University, Purdue University, The Ohio State University, The Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Minnesota. Typically, the Animal Science curriculum not only provides a strong science background, but also hands-on experience working with animals on campus-based farms. Professional education in animal science prepares students for career opportunities in areas such as animal breeding, food and fiber production, nutrition, animal agribusiness, animal behavior and welfare, and biotechnology. Courses in a typical Animal Science program may include genetics, microbiology, animal behavior, nutrition, physiology, and reproduction. Courses in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects, and the environment also are offered. All of these courses are essential to entering an animal science...

...These deeply American themes are present in all the eras of student employment. The Colonial Period Admission to the professions (law, medicine, ministry, teaching) had traditionally been via lengthy apprenticeships in which the training was employment, albeit at steadily increasing levels of responsibility. Universities added a classroom component, but because of transportation difficulties and geographic isolation of the period, much training was still in the form of apprenticeships or on the job training . While apprentices were supported financially by their masters during the period of apprenticeship, universities had no such arrangement. Universities even expected the student to pay them. But the quality of education, the opportunity to be exposed to a wider community of scholars, the desire to emulate Europe, the increasing population and improving transportation all worked toward the rise of universities. They attracted young men of ambition but not always of means. In the earliest cases, these students often just hired themselves out. Many well-to-do families sought private tutors, particularly for daughters. Lawyers hired clerks. The jobs provided welcome extra money, and less need to be dependent on family. But many students either arrived at the university without means, or illness or other factors interrupted the support of the family. In these cases, faculty at the university often became involved. Small jobs, such as maintenance or agriculture...

...P R E FAC E THE ACCOUNTING ENVIRONMENT Accounting is the most employable, sought-after major for 2009, according to entrylevel job site CollegeGrad.com. One reason for this interest is found in the statement by former Secretary of the Treasury and Economic Advisor to the President, Lawrence Summers. He noted that the single-most important innovation shaping our capital markets was the idea of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We agree with Mr. Summers. Relevant and reliable financial information is a necessity for viable capital markets. Without it, our markets would be chaotic, and our standard of living would decrease. This textbook is the market leader in providing the tools needed to understand what GAAP is and how it is applied in practice. Mastery of this material will be invaluable to you in whatever field you select. Through many editions, this textbook has continued to reflect the constant changes taking place in the GAAP environment. This edition continues this tradition, which has become even more significant as the financial reporting environment is exploding with major change. Here are three areas of major importance that are now incorporated extensively into this edition of the text. A New Way of Looking at Generally Accepted Principles (GAAP) Learning GAAP used to be a daunting task, as it is comprised of many standards that vary in form, completeness, and structure. Fortunately, the profession has recently developed the Financial Accounting...
