From Graduate Education in the United States

Abstract

The enormously ramified system of graduate education in the United States is only 85 years old. It has seldom been appraised as a whole and in detail. Professor Bernard Berelson of the University of Chicago has provided the latest and perhaps most com prehensive of surveys of the subject. Some of his results, many of which hold special interest to our readers, appear in the following figures, tables, and quotations. They are presented here with the permission of the publishers and copyright holders (1960), McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., New York.
