SCIENCE. 



323 



Table II. shows the number of degrees 

 that have been conferred in the natural 

 and exact sciences by the several institu- 

 tions. The last column gives the per cent, 

 of doctor 's degrees in the sciences that each 

 institution has conferred. It is thus seen 

 that the study of the natural sciences is 

 relatively emphasized in certain institu- 

 tions, some universities conferring more 

 than half the degrees in the sciences and 

 others less than half. 



The third table gives the degrees con- 

 ferred in each of the sciences. Chemistry 

 maintains the position of having more than 

 twice as many doctorates as physics, which 

 stands next on the list. Psychology this 

 year passes zoology, and mathematics makes 

 a considerable gain.
