Abstract
A pamphlet of the March 25, 1848 report made by the Joint Standing Committee on Education to whom was referred a request made by the president and fellows of Harvard College and the presidents and trustees of Williams College and Amherst College along with other petitions all requesting that state aid be given to these institutions. The report is signed "by order of the Committee" by Erastus Hopkins. The report provides information on the request and on the three colleges including their current financial status and previous state grants received. Hopkins also discusses the role of the State in supporting higher education, the relation between colleges and common schools, and the relationship between the public and colleges. The Committee concludes that state aid to the colleges should be increased and an accompanying bill regarding the School Fund is included.
