phj'sics, zoology, psychology and mathe- 

 matics. Botany comes next and there is 

 then a considerable drop to geology, fol- 

 lowed by physiology and astronomy. In 

 the case of the subjects not ranked under 

 the natural and exact sciences, most de- 

 grees have been given in English, history, 

 economics and philosophy. The number of 

 degrees in the languages appears to be 

 small, when the large number of teachers 

 in these subjects in our colleges and schools 

 is considered. Teachers of French and 

 German are, however, largely foreigners, 

 and Americans who study these subjects 

 would perhaps be more likely than others 

 to take their degrees abroad. 



The institutions which this year con- 

 ferred two or more degrees in a science are : 

 in chemistry, Chicago, 8; Johns Hopkins, 

 7 ; Illinois, 6 ; Wisconsin and Yale, 5 each ; 

 Cornell and Pennsylvania, 4 each; Co- 

 lumbia, 3 ; Harvard, 2 ; in physics, Cornell, 

 6; Chicago, 4; Clark and Pennsylvania, 

 3 each; Illinois, 2; in zoology, Cornell, 4; 

 Columbia and Johns Hopkins, 3 each; 

 California and Harvard, 2 each; in psy- 

 chology, Clark, 9; Cornell and Harvard, 3 

 each ; in mathematics, Chicago, 4 ; Cornell, 

 Harvard, John Hopkins, Kansas, Prince- 

 ton and Yale, 2 each ; in botany, Cornell, 3 ; 

 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, 2 each: in 

 geology, Wisconsin, 3; in physiology, Chi- 

 cago, 3; in agriculture, Cornell, 2; in 

 anthropology, Columbia, 2. 



The names of those on whom the degree 

 was conferred in the natural and exact sci- 

 ences, with the subjects of their theses, are
