T
HE Tenth Census of Graduate Research Students in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (covering the academic year 1933-34) continues the annual compilation, the iirst of which was issued in 1924.* The present compilation includes returns from 141 universities, of which 12 have reported members of the faculty only engaged in chemical research. The figures in the column headed total in Table 2 refer to the graduate students only; i. e., they do not include the figures for the faculty. The academic year 1933-34 shows,a decrease in the number of research workers for the first time since this compilation was started. There are 278 less masters and 47 less doctors than in the preceding year. This may be due in part to the fact that it is known that many universities and colleges have greatly diminished fellowships and scholarships the number of maduate ZANETTI, Ind. Eng.

during the past year or two. There is also a decrease of 65 faculty members reported, probably due, in part, to the increased teaching load brought about by a depleted staff. The more pronounced decreases in special fields are: general and physical, 73; catalysis, 26; inorganic, 24; metallurgical, 37; organic, 81; pharmaceutical, 21; agricultural, 32. On the other hand, there were increases in the following field: colloid chemistry, 20; subatomic and radio, 17; foods, 14. It was planned to discontinue this survey with this compilation, it being felt that a ten-year period would answer the purpose for which the survey was started. However, the answers to the question-"Should this compilation be continued?"-were overwhelmingly in favor of the continuation and so, with the cooperation of the heads of the departments of chemistry of the colleges and universities and the editor of the JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL EDUCATION, the compilation will be continued from year to year as long as it seems to meet a need. ..
