During my first year at, I overheard my mathematical methods professor talking about the Negro gjrl in his class. The two African Americans who were here when 1 visited, transferred tojbllowing my first year. They moved with their faculty advisor. 1 think it had been twenty years before there had been a black person enrolled in the doctoral program. So, these folks didn t know what to do with me, especially one very racist professor. There were a couple of others who were just lazy. The racist was an older person. I refused to take any more courses from him. I was generally satisfied with the other courses. 

Implications for Practice. Professors in doctoral programs working in close collaboration with faculties at small undergraduate institutions can and should define the necessary intellectual competencies that are crucial to effective performance at the graduate level. Additionally, it represents an...

Hundreds of colleges and universities offer bachelor degrees in chemistry in the United States. Around 600 bachelor programs, 300 master s programs, and 200 doctoral programs are approved by the American Chemical Society. With so many...

The model mouth was developed as part of the doctoral program of Saskia van Ruth at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands between 1992 and 1995. The hypothesis was that only those volatile compounds released under mouth conditions are relevant for aroma analysis. The volume of the mouth, temperature of the mouth, mastication, and salivation were thought to be critical parameters. Those pa-... 

This is what the accused chemist vehemently disputed. He is a practicing Catholic, believes in the political order of the Federal Republic and would never have entered into an association with Remer, whom he took to be a living political fossil . In the chemist s words 7 would not have been so stupid—this would have undermined me in the final phase of my doctoral program At the time he was preparing his doctoral thesis at the Max-Planck-Institute in Stuttgart. When his expert report became publicly known, he lost his job. ... 

Ref. 13 K 1329/94. After the prison sentence against Rudolf was announced, Rudolf s doctoral supervisor commented that he would have to sit out his punishment before he could complete his doctoral program. Prof, von Schnering was apparently always ready to stand behind his candidate. 

Sylvia Hurtado We have not studied students in traditional doctoral programs. However, there has been some research on professional schools. For example, there are actually two good studies on medical students who have studied in a diverse environment and are now working in a more diverse environment because of that educational experience.

There is currently much discussion about how few women and minorities are on chemistry and chemical engineering faculties, especially in the top 50 departments. Every large company I know seeks to identify and attract minority candidates early. Some who are completing their doctoral programs we first knew as college sophomores. One wonders how many more minority chemists and chemical engineers would opt for academic careers if universities tracked them as avidly as companies do. 

D. Ronald Webb, Proctor Gamble I want to add something. We discussed the loss of incoming undergraduates who fail and do not make it through the system. We have discussed the rate of people who enter doctoral programs and do not succeed.
