Table 70 presents the classified summary of degrees conferred by colleges and profes sional schools at the last commencement. Four per cent. of the whole number were honorary degrees, and of these 97 per cent. were conferred by classical and scientific colleges. Of the degrees in course 45 per cent. are credited to classical and scientific colleges, 6 per cent. to colleges for women, and 49 per cent. to professional schools. From the classified distribution the relative proportion of the various degrees in course is found to be as follows: Degrees for classical courses represented by A. B. and A. M. form the largest proportion of the whole, viz, 32 per cent. Medical degrees come next, comprising 31 per cent.; degrees in science, including those for general and for special courses, make up 12.3 per cent. It is worthy of note that 72 per cent. of the degrees conferred by colleges and seminaries for women are A. B. or A. M. degrees. These are indicative either of a classical course or of a course in which French or German has been substituted for Greek. Of 107 A. M. degrees conferred by colleges or seminaries for women 89 per cent. åre reported from the South Atlantic and south central divisions of the country. In these the colleges and seminaries for women for the most part follow the plan of the University of Virginia. They are organized in schools, and confer the degree of A. M. upon those who graduate in all the schools. It can not be pretended that the degree represents the same standards as that conferred by the University of Virginia, but in the colleges for women referred to it appears to be always the sign of a classical course. 807 |
