Harvard's faculty ranks first in the possession of outstanding scientists, according in a survey recently made by Professor Stephen S. Vicher of Indiana College. The survey determined that 58 Harvard men have been chosen as leaders in their field from 20,000 scientists listed in "American Men of Science" during the last 12 years.
The University of Chicago was a poor second with 41 men, while the University of California, with 31, had a narrow edge over Columbia's 29. Yale ranked fifth with 28, and Princeton was twelfth with 22. When the ranking was adjusted to the size of the colleges, Harvard dropped to ninth place, having 3.28 men honored for each 100 on the staff.
