MEMBERS OF AMERICAN SOCIETIES 289 
Boston, 11; New York, 8; Philadelphia, 5; Cincinnati, 2. Of 105, 41 
come from New England and 26 from the Middle States, making nearly 
two thirds, in all. Of class A, 6 were born in New York, including 3 
in New York City; 5 in Massachusetts, 4 of them in Boston; 3 in 
Maine, and 2 in Connecticut. 
A grouping of the colleges where these men got their education led 
to unexpected results, as follows: Harvard College, 12; Lawrence Scien- 
tific School, 12; Yale College, 9; Sheffield Scientific School, 6; Cornell, 
Michigan and common schools, 5 each; Columbia and Princeton, 3 each. 
Nine colleges educated 2 each. Harvard and Yale, therefore, educated 
39, or rather more than a third of the whole. The numbers of living 
graduates in the four institutions, Harvard College, Lawrence Scientific 
School, Yale College and Sheffield Scientific School, are about 12,000, 
1,200, 8,000 and 4,000. Accordingly, the proportion is 1 out of 1,000, 
100, 900 and 700, for the four institutions, respectively. The average 
numbers of societies are 2.5, 3.3, 2.6 and 2.5, respectively. Evidently 
the greatest possible number is 4.0, and the least, 2.0. The number of 
graduates of the other institutions is too small to determine averages 
with accuracy. The average 3.3 for the Lawrence Scientific School is 
only surpassed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2 mem- 
bers, average 4.0, and Williams College, 2 members, average, 3.5. Of 
class A, 5 are graduates of the Lawrence School, 2 of Yale College and 
2 as just stated of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 
The present residence of these men according to cities is as follows: 
Boston, New York and Washington, 15 each ; New Haven, 8; Balti- 
more and Chicago, 6 each; Princeton, 4; Berkeley, Ithaca and Stanford, 
3 each; Philadelphia, Williams Bay and Worcester, 2 each. The sub- 
urbs of each city are included in it. Thus, Boston includes Cambridge, 
and represents, practically, Harvard College. Of class A, 6 are resi- 
dents of Boston, 3 of New York, 3 of Washington, 2 of Chicago and 
2 of New Haven. While birthplaces indicate conditions of about sixty 
years ago, and colleges forty years ago, residences indicate nearly pres- 
ent conditions. ‘ 
The other columns of Table I. are better discussed in connection 
with the corresponding columns of Table II. The latter gives a list 
of the foreigners who are honorary members of two or more of these 
societies. The successive columns give the name, residence, specialty, 
year of birth, age at time of election into each of the four societies and 
number of the seven national societies of which each man is a member. 
The numbers in the last column are taken from the article already 
mentioned. 
In Table II. the residences are distributed as follows: Germany, 
16, of which 8 are in Berlin and 3 in Leipzig; England, 15, of which 
7 are in London and:4 in Cambridge; France, 4, all in Paris ; Holland,
