Medicine lias not been a popular
profession with scholarly graduates.
The percentages range from 6 to 4 from
1840 to 1885. and are 7.5 and 7 for
1885-89 and' 1890-94. The cause of the
gain made by medicine from 1885 to
1895 Is. one It tempted to think, the
advance of medicine to the dignity of
a science and the introduction into col
lege courses of electlves In science.
The former makes the career more at
tractive to the thinker, and the latter
gives scientific capacities and Interests
a chance to become aware of them
selves. Teaching has been changing from
the casual work of young men forced
somehow to earn money for profes
sional studies, or the destiny of clergy
men who found that their learning was
worth more to the world than their
piety or sermons, to a distinct profes
sion with eecure remuneration, great
social advantages, and a chance to cul
tivate one's Intellectual Interests. This
familiar change nppears emphatically
In my records. During 1885-95 25.5 per
cent of Phi Beta Kappa men became
teachers, as against 9.4 per cent from
IS 10 to 1844. The figures by five-year
periods show a rapid Increase in the
popularity of the teaching profession
with our tiasH of men from 1840 to 1865,
a decline during the next five years,
and an Increase from 1870 on. There
Is some evidence that the tendency has
spent Itself by now, for since 1885, the
percentage has been stationary.
By far the most striking change in
the careers of scholarly men In this
country has been the decrease in the
number of them In the ministry. A
Phi Beta Kappa man was three times
as likely to become a clergyman In the
middle of the nineteenth century as he
Is today. The percentages In different
years are: 1840-49, 38.7 per cent; 1850
54, 3G.5 per cent; 1855-59. 34.5 per cent;
1860-64, 27.5 per cent; 1865-69, 28.5 per
cent; 1870-74, 22.5 per cent; 1875-79,
22 per cent; 1880-84, 19.5 per cent;
1885-89, 16 per cent; 1890-94, 14 per
cent. The steadiness of the ministry's
Iobb in attractiveness shows that its
cause has not been due to any great and
sudden crisis or crlces, but to some
factor which has worked throughout
the period. TIiIh factor, whatever It Is,
has extended Its influence widely. For
in every one of the colleges taken, sec
tarian and non-sectarian, eastern and
western, large and small, the same gen
eral change has occurred.
The future will probably witness a
steady gain In medicine, a slight gain
in teaching, a rapid but unstable gain
in the law, and a continued decline In
the ministry. We may ask what light
the records of the men graduating from
1895 to 1900 cast upon these suppo
sitions. The percentages computed
from the catalouge are: law, 15; med
icine, 2; teaching, 24; ministry, 5;
but the statements of the catalogue
concerning recent graduates are not at
all accurate accounts of what their life
careers will be. Financial studies or
post graduate study may delay a man's
entrance upon his final career. My own
estimate, based upon facta which can
not fitly be presented here, would be 25
per cent in the law, 8 per cent in medi
cine, 26.5 per cent In teaching, and 10.5
per cent In the ministry.
Law and teaching thus get a lion's
share of the scholarship of the country
today. Medicine seems from our fig
ures, as indeed it must seem to wise ob
servers of individual cases, to get a
smaller proportion of scholarly men
than its needs demand or Its opportun
ities invite. That the chance for spe
cialization, research, and consultation
work wll sometime raise this percent
age seems sure. It is certainly to be
hoped that medical practice will pass
more and more out of the hands of
ambitious drug clerks and undis
ciplined youth into the hands of care
ful and broad minded thinkers.
