greatly. One half of all the instructors at 

 Clark are among our leading men of science, 

 whereas in certain institutions there is but 

 one in fifty. The institutions which stand 

 the highest are Clark, the Johns Hopkins, 

 Chicago, Stanford, Bryn Mawr, Harvard, 

 Wesleyan, Case and Princeton. These insti- 

 tutions have at least one scientific man of 

 standing among each ten instructors. It is 

 of interest to note that the five institutions 

 that have the best record are of comparatively 

 recent establishment. They have given a rel- 

 atively more prominent position to science 

 than the older institutions and have selected 

 better men. At certain other institutions the 

 ratios are: Yale, 10.6; Michigan, 12.3; Wis- 

 consin, 13.2; Columbia, 13.3; Cornell, 16.5; 

 California, 21.3 ; Pennsylvania, 25.2. The in- 

 stitutions having more than forty instructors 

 to one scientific man of standing are George 

 Washington, Pittsburgh, Tufts, Tulane, Syra- 

 cuse, ]Srorthwestern, Indiana and Cincinnati. 

 These differences are truly remarkable and 

 should be widely known in the interest of 

 scientific education and the advancement of 

 science. Institutions differ in the relative 

 strengths of their departments, but it will be 

 found that those which have men of distinc- 

 tion in the natural and exact sciences also 

 have such men in other subjects. Students 

 should certainly use every effort to attend in- 

 stitutions having large proportions of men of 

 distinction among their instructors. It will 

 be ordinarily the case that in such institu- 

 tions the younger instructors are also of 

 higher standing. Scientific men, especially 

 those beginning their careers, should try to 

 accept positions only where the higher stand- 

 ards obtain. 



In general the institutions which have a 

 large proportion of scientific men of distinc- 

 tion among their instructors will also have a 

 large number in comparison with the student 

 attendance. But institutions vary greatly in 

 the number of students for each instructor — 

 from 3.9 at the Johns Hopkins to 18.1 at 



teachers, and Pennsylvania to have an annual 

 income of $589,226, and to spend $-433,311 on 

 salaries.
