MEMBERS OF AMERICAN SOCIETIES 289 



Boston, 11; New York, 8; Philadelphia, 5; Cincinnati, 2. Of 105, 41 

 come from New England and 26 from the Middle States, making nearly 

 two thirds, in all. Of class A, 6 were born in New York, including 3 

 in New York City; 5 in Massachusetts, 4 of them in Boston; 3 in 

 Maine, and 2 in Connecticut. 



A grouping of the colleges where these men got their education led 

 to unexpected results, as follows: Harvard College, 12; Lawrence Scien- 

 tific School, 12 ; Yale College, 9 ; Sheffield Scientific School, 6 ; Cornell, 

 Michigan and common schools, 5 each ; Columbia and Princeton, 3 each. 

 Nine colleges educated 2 each. Harvard and Yale, therefore, educated 

 39, or rather more than a third of the whole. The numbers of living 

 graduates in the four institutions, Harvard College, Lawrence Scientific 

 School, Yale College and Sheffield Scientific School, are about 12,000, 

 1,200, 8,000 and 4,000. Accordingly, the proportion is 1 out of 1,000, 

 100, 900 and 700, for the four institutions, respectively. The average 

 numbers of societies are 2.5, 3.3, 2.6 and 2.5, respectively. Evidently 

 the greatest possible number is 4.0, and the least, 2.0. The number of 

 graduates of the other institutions is too small to determine averages 

 with accuracy. The average 3.3 for the Lawrence Scientific School is 

 only surpassed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2 mem- 

 bers, average 4.0, and Williams College, 2 members, average, 3.5. Of 

 class A, 5 are graduates of the Lawrence School, 2 of Yale College and 



2 as just stated of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 



The present residence of these men according to cities is as follows : 

 Boston, New York and Washington, 15 each; New Haven, 8; Balti- 

 more and Chicago, 6 each ; Princeton, 4 ; Berkeley, Ithaca and Stanford, 



3 each; Philadelphia, Williams Bay and Worcester, 2 each. The sub- 

 urbs of each city are included in it. Thus, Boston includes Cambridge, 

 and represents, practically, Harvard College. Of class A, 6 are resi- 

 dents of Boston, 3 of New York, 3 of Washington, 2 of Chicago and 

 2 of New Haven. While birthplaces indicate conditions of about sixty 

 years ago, and colleges forty years ago, residences indicate nearly pres- 

 ent conditions. 



The other columns of Table I. are better discussed in connection 

 with the corresponding columns of Table II. The latter gives a list 

 of the foreigners who are honorary members of two or more of these 

 societies. The successive columns give the name, residence, specialty, 

 year of birth, age at time of election into each of the four societies and 

 number of the seven national societies of which each man is a member. 

 The numbers in the last column are taken from the article already 

 mentioned. 



In Table II. the residences are distributed as follows: Germany, 

 16, of which 8 are in Berlin and 3 in Leipzig; England, 15, of which 

 7 are in London and 4 in Cambridge ; Erance, 4, all in Paris ; Holland,
