Indiana University Studies 



The Doctorate in Philosophy 



The Graduate School was organized in 1904, and the advanced degree of 

 Ph.D. was given for the first time, after a lapse of years, in 1908. Since 

 then, the degree Ph.D. has been conferred on 12 women and 31 men, a total 

 of 43 from the departments and on the date indicated in Table 5. 



The maximum number conferred at any one time was in June, 1915. 

 The maximum conferred by any one department was 7; 13 departments 

 have been represented by one or more candidates. 



The number of persons carrying on more advanced work in the various 

 departments is not proportionate to the number doing first-year work. This 

 may be seen by comparing the numbers of doctorates conferred by the 

 various departments with the number of Masters' degrees conferred from the 

 same departments, Tables 2 and 3.

Source of the Graduate Students 



The per cent of students receiving the Master of Arts degree, who received 

 their first degree in other institutions, has increased with the years. 

 From 1908 to 1911, the per cent was 12.5. 

 From 1912 to 1914, it was 20. 

 Between 1915 and 1917 it was 29.5. 

 Between 1918 and 1920 it was 36.3. 



In 1918 half of the students receiving the Master's degree had received 

 their A.B. from Indiana University, the other half from other institutions. 



The following institutions have contributed the respective number 

 of graduate students on whom Indiana University has conferred the degree 

 Master of Arts, since January, 1908. All others received their A.B. or B.S. 

 degree from Indiana University.
