...fourth edition of the Biographical Directory of American Men of Science a table is printed showing the ten strongest departments in each science and their gain or loss since 1906. Harvard shows its leadership not only as a whole but in nearly every department. It stands first among universities in physics, chemistry, geology, botany, zoology, physiology and pathology, second in mathematics, third in astronomy and psychology, fourth in anthropology. There has been a gain since 1906 in every department except anatomy and psychology, though in several cases the gains are due only to the increased number of individuals...
