The author of this paper assumes that more persons will desire to enter the field of physics than will be able to find employment in this field. The question is how and at what stage in their careers should some of these prospective physicists be "deflected" from their chosen field. A case is made for this decision being made at the entrance to…

Many graduate programs in communication are plagued by "schizophrenia": a wish for relevance to today's problems on the one hand and an allegiance to objective research on the other. Rather than scrapping traditional practices, graduate programs should continue to emphasize the training of research scholars. The research tradition has…

Current data on graduate student support and manpower resources in graduate science education are important to science administrators, educators, and others concerned with the education of highly qualified scientists and engineers and other related manpower issues. They are also of interest to prospective graduate students, vocational counselors,…

In order to fill the 171 new community colleges opened between 1965 and 1970, more teachers are needed - especially innovative teachers who put student success in learning first. To meet these needs, community college leaders are seeking the support of colleges and universities, accrediting agencies, professional organizations, and government for…

PRACTICES OF 132 INSTITUTIONS IN 43 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ACCREDITED TO OFFER PROGRAMS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL WERE COMPARED. EIGHTY-ONE INSTITUTIONS OFFER BOTH THE 1-YEAR MASTER'S DEGREE AND THE 2-YEAR SPECIALIST IN EDUCATION DEGREE PROGRAMS, 37 OFFER THE MASTER'S PROGRAM ONLY, NINE…

A SURVEY WAS MADE OF 18 UNIVERSITIES WITH ACCREDITED PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR PREPARATION TO ASCERTAIN HOW THE SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES HAVE BEEN INTEGRATED INTO THEIR PROGRAMS, AND TO EVALUATE THE HYPOTHESIS THAT INCREASED EMPHASIS UPON AN INTERDISIPLINARY APPROACH WOULD PRODUCE MORE EFFECTIVE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. FINDINGS WERE…

Reasons behind the fact that there are fewer women scientists than men scientists are explored in this paper. Data on the number of women Ph.D.'s in each field of science for the years 1966 through 1974 are presented and analyzed. Graduate school admissions policies and the greater attrition rate for women in graduate school compared to men are…

The rates at which men and women attend graduate and professional school were compared in a large national sample of college seniors followed up a year after graduation. Women attended less often, even women with very high grades. Women were particularly underrepresented in law and medicine. When the attendance rates of individuals who had planned…

This workbook is designed primarily for graduate library school students in a supervised laboratory setting as an adjunct to a formal course on computer based reference services. The DIALOG system has the capability to search several large on line files, and the workbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the Lockheed DIALOG Manual. Eight…
