 number, but equal to the total of the pre- 

 ceding ten years. Probably the most im- 

 portant educational advance of the next 

 ten years will be the growth of advanced

 versities of the central and western states. 

 Of 3,093 degrees conferred in the eleven 

 years, 1,416, nearly half, have been in the 

 natural and exact sciences. As shown in 

 Table II., there were this year 184 

 degrees in these sciences, a gain of 41 

 over last year. Chicago gave 37 of these 

 degrees, twice as many as any other insti- 

 tution, and takes the position at the head
