Morehouse Doctorates

FACULTY ADDITIONS ANNOUNCED

When Morehouse College began classes for the academic year 1956-1957 on Wednesday, September 19, virtually 50 per cent of its teaching faculty and administration were holders of doctorates from the greatest universities of this country and Europe. No member of the Morehouse faculty has less than a master's degree, and almost all of those who do not yet have the doctorates have already done considerable work towards the highest academic degrees and some are very close to it. Twenty of Morehouse's 42-member teaching faculty have earned the doctorate (Ph.D., Sc.D., Ed.D., and the D.Th.) from the following universities:

The University of Chicago (6), Columbia University (3), the University of Pittsburgh (1), Cornell University (1), Harvard University (1), Johns Hopkins University (1), the University of Kiev, the Ukraine (1), New York University (1), the Pacific School of Religion (1), the University of Paris (1), Syracuse University (1), the University of Texas (1), and the University of Wisconsin (1).

By departments these teachers are distributed as follows: Biology, 2; Chemistry, 1; Economics and Business Administration, 2; Education, 2; English, 2; Foreign Languages, 3; History and Political Science, 2; Sociology, 1; Mathematics, 1; Religion, 2; Physical Education,
