LAND-GRANT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
The requirements of land-grant institutions for the appointment
of staff members in commerce and business are summarized in
Table t17. There are absolutely no fixed requirements among land-
grant institutions concerning the number of college credits in com-
merce and business. Apparently it is felt that college credits in
commerce and business have very little bearing upon the qualifica-
tions of staff members. Nor are there any fixed requirements as to
the number of years of business experience in the field to be taught.

experience of commerce and business teachers in land-grant insti-
tutions produces many interesting results. Table 18 gives data con-
tained in the questionnaire on the number of teachers who have had
teaching experience in commerce and business, who have had teach-

who have had business experience.
Twenty-six institutions report 85 teachers that have had one year of experi-
ence in the institutions with which they are at present connected; 36 institu-
tions report 126 teachers serving in their present connections from 2 to 4
years; 26 institutions report 100 teachers serving from 5 to 9 years; 19 insti-
tutions report 47 teachers serving from 10 to 19 years; and 4 institutions report
