             SUBCHAPTER II--COLLEGE-AID ANNUAL APPROPRIATION
 
Sec. 323. Racial discrimination by colleges restricted

    No money shall be paid out under this subchapter to any State or 
Territory for the support or maintenance of a college where a 
distinction of race or color is made in the admission of students, but 
the establishment and maintenance of such colleges separately for white 
and colored students shall be held to be a compliance with the 
provisions of said sections if the funds received in such State or 
Territory be equitably divided as hereinafter set forth: Provided, That 
in any State in which there has been one college established in 
pursuance of subchapter I of this chapter, and also in which an 
educational institution of like character has been established, or may 
be hereafter established, and is on August 30, 1890, aided by such State 
from its own revenue, for the education of colored students in 
agriculture and the mechanic arts, however named or styled, or whether 
or not it has received money prior to August 30, 1890, under said 
subchapter I, the legislature of such State may propose and report to 
the Secretary of Agriculture a just and equitable division of the fund 
to be received under this subchapter between one college for white 
students and one institution for colored students established as 
aforesaid, which shall be divided into two parts and paid accordingly, 
and thereupon such institution for colored students shall be entitled to 
the benefits of said sections and subject to their provisions, as much 
as it would have been if it had been included under subchapter I of this 
chapter, and the fulfillment of the foregoing provisions shall be taken 
as a compliance with the provision in reference to separate colleges for 
white and colored students.
