DOCTORATES IN CHEMISTRY CONFERRED BY AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES, 1927-1928 COMPILBD BY CALLIEHULL AND CLUIBNCE J. WEST, RESEARCH INPORMATION SERVICE, NATIONAL REsBnncn ComaL, WASHINGTON, D. C.
Continuing the compilation which has appeared in THISJOURNAL for the past three years [3, 77-99 (1926); 4, 99-109; 1303-13 (1927)1, the Research Information Service of the National Research Council offersthe following statistics of doctorates in chemistry conferred by American universities during the academic year 1927-1928. In this compilation, the doctorates granted by the Universities in engineering or metallurgy have been listed separately, and also those granted in physiology which are of chemical interest. These are included with those granted in chemistry in the statistical tables. The universities granting ten or more doctorates in chemistry during the past year show certain changes; California, Ohio State, Harvard, and Pittsburgh have given place to Iowa, Minnesota, and Iowa State College. Such variations in the number granted occur every year and probably have no real significance, although it is interesting to note that only two of the fifteen universities which have conferred ten or more during the nine years for which statistics are available have not once fallen below that number. These are Chicago and Johns Hopkins. A fairly representative picture of chemical research in the universities of the United States is presented through the statistics on graduate students in chemistry in the United States [THIS JOIJRNAL, 5 , 8 8 2 4 (1928)],the survey of thesupport of graduate researchin chemistry [Ibid.,5,1005-14 (1928)1, and the statistics given in this compilation. As the first and last of these compilations appear annually, the growth in chemical research in universities may be followed by those interested.
