the A.M. degree since January, 1908, being 563, of whom 399 are men and 

 164 women, the per cents of men and women are nearly 70.8 per cent and 

 29.2 per cent. For the departments, this ratio of the sexes among the persons 

 who received the degree A.M. obtains only in Botany. 



In nine of the departments 100 per cent of those receiving the A.M. 

 degree are men. The ratio of men to women as given below is of value in 

 proportion to the number of individuals concerned. Evidently the ratio 

 given means nothing for Astronomy, Fine Arts, and Surgery, where only 

 one or two persons are concerned. It is distinctly significant for Economics, 

 Physics, Chemistry, Education, Mathematics, History, English, and Latin. 



The departments in which 100 per cent of the persons on whom the A.M. 

 degree was conferred are men are: Anatomy, Astronomy, Economics, Fine 

 Arts, Pathology, Political Science, Physics, Physiology, and Surgery. 



The departments in which from 90 to 95 per cent of the persons on whom 

 the degree A.M. was conferred are men are: Chemistry, Geology, Education, 

 and Philosophy. 



The departments in which from 66 to 80 per cent of the persons on whom 

 the degree A.M. was conferred are men are: Zoology, History, Botany, and 

 Journalism. 



The departments in which from 40 to 50 per cent of the persons on whom 

 the degree was conferred are men are: Comparative Philology, Greek, Psy- 

 chology, and Sociology. 



In the departments of German and English, about one-third of the persons 

 on whom the degree was conferred were men. 



In Latin, about 21 per cent; in Romance Languages, 16 per cent. 



One hundred per cent of the persons on whom the A.M. degree was 

 conferred for work in Social Service were women.
