DOCTORATES IN CHEMISTRY AND RELATED FIELDS CONFERRED BY AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES, 1931-32 COMPILED B Y CLARENCE J. WESTAND CALLIEHULL.RESEARCX INPORMATION SERYICR, NATIONAL RESEARCRCOUNCIL, WAS~NGTON, D. C.
The Research Information Service of the National Research Council again offas the following statistics concerning the doctorates in chemistry and related fields conferred by American universities during the academic year 1931-32. This is the eighth year in which this compilation has been made; previous lists have been published in the JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL EDUCATION, 3,77-99 (Jan., 1926); 4,99-109 (Jan., 1927); 4,1303-13 (Oct., 1927) ; 5,1450-63 (Nov., 1928): 6,2209-23 (Dec., 1929); 7,2966-82 (Dec., 1930); 8, 2259-78 (Nov., 1931). In this compilation the doctorates granted by the universities in agricultural chemistry, biochemistry, engineering, and metallurgy have been listed under the separate headings but are included in the totals by university in the statistical tables. In selecting the titles to be included, those doctorates have been used, which, if published, would probably be abstracted in Chemical Abstracts. Attention is again called to the fact that the compilers have only the title of the thesis and, in most instances, the department in which the doctorate was granted, to aid them in the subject classification. I t is not always possible to classify correctly from this information which may account for the inclusion or the omission of a given thesis. Corrections and suggestions as to this publication are always appreciated. There are nineteen universities whichrreport ten or more doctorates in chemistry and related subjects during the past academic year, the same number as last year. This year Chicago and Wisconsin tie for first place, each having granted 44 doctorates; Columbia and Iowa State tie for second place with 30 doctorates each, with Johns Hopkins a close third with 29 doctorates. The places of New York, Stanford, and Maryland are taken by Pittsburgh, Princeton, and Pennsylvania. In this connection it must be remembered that an examination of the dissertations probably would make a diierence in this table, since some of the titles of doctorates give no clue as to their contents. I t is also true that some of the doctorates granted in physics might properly be included in this list, with as much justification as we now include some of the doctorates in biochemistry. The order given above is, therefore, relative only but it still is an indication of the amount of graduate study being carried on at these institutions. Information concerning all the doctorates granted in the sciences (1241 for the year 1931-32) will appear in a forthcoming number of the Reprint and Circular Series of the National Research Council (No. 104), copies of which may be obtained from the Publication Office.
