AMERICAN MEN OF SCIENCE 



Clark, 75. There is then a drop to universi- 

 ties that have conferred fewer than 25 de- 

 grees in the sciences during this period. 

 Relatively more work is done in the sciences 

 in some institutions than in others. Thus the 

 percentage of degrees in the sciences in these 

 universities is as follows: Clark, 95; Cornell, 

 58; Johns Hopkins, 54; Columbia, 49; Chi- 

 cago, 48; Pennsylvania, 43; Harvard, 42, and 

 Yale, 41. 



Table V. shows the institutional origin of 

 men who have pursued different sciences. The 

 Johns Hopkins University has excelled rela- 

 tively in chemistry, physics, zoology and 

 physiology; Harvard in zoology and botany; 

 Columbia in zoology, botany and mathematics ; 

 Cornell in physics and botany; Clark in psy- 

 chology, and Michigan in botany and pathol- 



ogy. Of the foreign universities, Berlin has 

 excelled in physics, Leipzig in psychology and 

 Gottingen in chemistry and mathematics. 



The table also shows that men are more 

 likely to pursue graduate studies and to take 

 the doctor's degree in some sciences than in 

 others. Of the fifty psychologists, 35 have 

 received the doctor's degree from the institu- 

 tions given in the table, and of the 150 zoolo- 

 gists 90 have received it, whereas only two of 

 the 25 anatomists and only five of the 60 

 pathologists have received a non-technical 

 higher degree from these universities. While 

 important improvements in the practise of 

 surgery and medicine have been made in this 

 country, it must be admitted that we are not 

 doing our share for the advancement of pathol- 

 ogy, anatomy and physiology.
