During the past academic year the

conferred on 253 candidates by the va

as compared with 233 in 1900. 224 in 1889
and 243 in 1898. This is probably the
largest number of degrees conferred
during any one year since the Develop
ment of our university system. There
has been steady advance of late years
in the number of doctorates in the
sciences. A few years back the humani-
ties had decidedly the call, but the in
creasing number of students in what
may be termed the exact and natural
sciences is beginning to tell. This fact
is evident in looking over the lists of
some OF the older institutions. At Yale
and Harvard, for instance, where in
former years the humanities had a
large preponderance. things seem to be
changing. and now the doctorates may
be said to be evenly divided, while at
those universities where science studit.s
have usually predominated, there HIS
been a marked increase in the canSi-
dates. 1t is worthy of note of the 253
degrees conferred this year. three were
doctorates in science, one each being
given by Cornell. New York and Van
derbilt. In regard to this latter, there
is growing wish among university
men that IL should be used as an hon
orary degree and not as a practical
equivalent for the PHI. ID. This seems 10
be emphasized by the fact that in no
case has the Pm. d. been given this
year eausa honoris by any of the twen-
