HE Ninth Census of Graduate Research Students in Chemistry (covering the academic year 1932-33) continues the annual compilation which was first issued in 1924.* The present compilation (Table 1, pp. 50&3) includes returns from one hundred forty-three universities, of which fifteen have reported members of the faculty only engaged in chemical research. I t should be mentioned that in Table 2, while a column is given to the faculty, the numbers given there are not included in the totals, as those numbers refer to the graduate students only, and are comparable with the totals for previous years. The academic year 1932-33 shows an increase of 87 research students over that of 1931-32 as compared with a gain of 466 for the preceding year; there is a gain of 103 in the number registered for a doctorate and a loss of 16 in those registered for a master's degree. The fact that there is an increased enrolment of 553
in 1932-33 as compared with 1930-31 probably is best explained by the lack of professional occupation for the graduates of the B.S. course in chemistry during these two years. The columns headed "Faculty" in the tables show an increase of 94 over the previous year. This is accounted for, in part, by the inclusion of 35 post-graduate students and National Research Council Fellows in the faculties of Chicago, Columbia, Ohio State, and Princeton. This probably does not mean an actual increase of 59 in the faculties of the universities reporting, since it is felt that some faculty members, interested in two or more fields of research, may have, been reported under each subject. This compilation will be made again next year, at which time an effort will be made to evaluate the statistics for the ten-year period. It is hoped that this will show the research trend in the various fields of chemistry as well as in the universities in which the work is being done. * ZANEITI. Ind. Eng.
