According to documents obtained by The Crimson,in the spring of 1989 only seven of the 42 peopleteaching Expos classes had Ph.Ds. Last spring, 24of 40 held Ph.Ds.
Statistics to show the value of hiring Ph.Dsare scarce, but the available numbers show thatmany of the best teachers in Expos are thosewithout PhDs.
