3 The decrease from 49 in 1912 to 25 in 1913 accords with a general tend- 

 ency: the number of doctorates in the "natural and exact sciences" decreased 

 from 273 in 1912 to 231 in 1913, whereas the doctorates in the " humanities " 

 increased from 209 in 1912 to 230 in 1913 — totals of 482 in 1912 and 461 in 1913.
