2. Barzun, Jacques. "The Ph.D. Octopus." In Teacher in America, 175-93. 1945. Reprint, Indianapolis: Liberty Press, 1981. Barzun repeats William James's attack on the "three-letter fetish," arguing that good research and good college teaching are separate skills and that it is pernicious (not to mention counterproductive) to combine them into one degree. His sympathies are with the teachers who are forced to muddle through a Ph.D. when their true desire is to teach.
3. Bent, Henry E. "Professionalization of the Ph.D. Degree." Journal of Higher Education 30:3 (March 1959): 140-45. Bent rehearses the history of "confusion with regard to the professionalization of the Doctor's degree... [arising] in part from uncertainty as to the meaning of the terms involved." The Ph.D. has many uses, and he resists any effort to restrict it to being a teaching and research degree. Yet he notes that "the most important reason for seeking to change the training for the Ph.D. degree arises paradoxically from the fact that the degree carries with it such great prestige [outside the academy]" (143).

A longer version of the authors' argument appears in The Academic Revolution (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1968). Jencks and Riesman worried that "the nation's colleges have been corrupted by vocationalism" (197). Many of their points are still valid, even though they wrote them at a time when "the academic graduate schools [were] the primary force for growth within the modern university" (216).

Fite's 1983 presidential address to the Phi Alpha Theta honorary society, in which he reviews the history of the profession from the 1940s to the 1980s and includes pointed observations on changes in graduate education, especially the expansion of graduate programs in the 1950s-1960s.

This was Freidel's Organization of American Historians presidential address, which he devoted to the "problem of the Ph.D.'s" (i.e., the worsening job crisis). He suggested both supply-side solutions to the problem (encouraging the larger graduate programs to voluntarily restrict the size of incoming cohorts of students) and demand-side solutions (developing new employment opportunities in secondary education, public history, the business world, and government work-including a call to lobby Congress for a "new WPA" to provide temporary work for recent Ph.D.'s).
31. Herrick, Francis H. "The Profession of History." Pacific Historical Review 31:1 (February 1962): 1-20. In this presidential address to the Pacific Coast Branch of the AHA, Herrick discussed the training of future historians and the expansion of Ph.D. programs as two (among many) issues facing the profession. Noting that "we do not train historians to be independent practitioners, [so] the doctorate should assure [sic] a reasonable expectation of an academic appointment," he warned his colleagues to "look critically at any proposals for expansion of graduate enrollment" (7-8).

34. Holt, W. Stull. "Si jeunesse savait; si veillesse pouvait." Clio 8:2 (winter 1979): 267-74. Holt, a former editor of the American Historical Review, reflects on six decades of the historical profession. Included is a pointed comparison between the new Ph.D.'s of the 1920s and the new Ph.D.'s of the 1970s; in his view, the overexpansion of Ph.D. programs in the 1950s-1960s diluted the quality of the degree. He suggests that the AHA ought to accredit doctoral programs as a way of improving the quality of graduate education.

Meneely, who taught at Dartmouth, addresses recurrent problems in the history of graduate training in a paper he originally delivered at the 1940 annual meeting of the AHA: "One hears it argued that there is excessive specialization, overemphasis upon research, too much of the belt-line method and too little supervision in training graduate students, a failure to equip them properly for the kind of teaching that they must do, and an insufficient effort to limit the production of degree-holders to somewhere near the demands of the academic market."

The conference included: (1) a comparative session, during which the panelists discussed the graduate training of historians in the Iberian countries, Germany, England, and France; (2) a session on "American Methods," during which Dexter Perkins laid out some of the themes that would guide his work as chair of the AHA's Committee on Graduate Education in the late 1950s; and (3) a session on the institutional impediments to real reforms in graduate education. Despite the attendance of some of the nation's leading historians (nearly all from the leading research institutions), this conference seems to have had little impact.

Webb's presidential address to the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, in which he reflected on the history of the seminar as a training mechanism for future historians. He concluded that "a great deal of attention has been paid to the external characteristics, the outer shell, and not so much to the inner life and spirit of the historical seminar.... [But] the great seminars have been animated... not by any method but by the inner purpose, the great program, and the dominating idea of him who conducted it" (3). He is thinking here, primarily, of a "history seminary" in the Herbert Baxter Adams tradition.

Abstract: "Data are used on all graduate students who entered Ph.D. programs in four fields [economics, English, mathematics, and physics] during a twenty-five-year period at a single major doctorate producing university [i.e., Cornell] to estimate how graduate student financial support patterns influence their completion rates and times-to-degree. It is found that completion rates, and the mean durations of their times-to-completion and to dropout are all sensitive to the types of financial support the students received. Other things held constant, students who receive fellowships or research assistantships have higher completion rates and shorter times-to-degree than students who receive teaching assistantships or tuition waivers, or who are totally self-supporting."

McWilliams, a Ph.D. candidate in U.S. history at Johns Hopkins University, complains that graduate study has too narrow a focus: "Even the best graduate students start off with a flimsy grasp of the past. However, instead of taking courses that initially promote a broad understanding of American history, we are quickly submerged in 'historiography' classes. These courses do not survey American history per se, but rather investigate how historians have argued over interpretations of narrowly framed issues."

A comparative study of job satisfaction among graduate teaching assistants (GTA's) in English, biology, and history at sixteen southern universities. According to the abstract: "Findings suggest significant relationships between job satisfaction and several independent variables, including degree level, discipline, salary, teaching experience, and teaching load. However, no significant relationships were found between job satisfaction and training or course load. However, the amount of training and number of courses currently taken did not significantly influence job satisfaction of GTA's. In addition, findings suggest that Master's level GTA's were more satisfied than Ph.D. level GTA's. In addition, those working in the fields of biology and history were more satisfied than those working in the field of English."

When one offers advice designed to discourage an aspiring young scholar, he may be placing serious intellectual as well as psychological obstacles in the path of someone who, a few years hence, may well contribute more to knowledge than the 'wise counselor' himself" (265).

According to the abstract, "In history, a large number of very small programs exist, producing less than five Ph.D.'s per year.... Size and quality ranking are positively correlated in economics, history, and physics, but no such relationship is apparent in psychology." The authors also suggest that "unless history Ph.D.'s can be efficiently produced in very small programs, then the production pattern of the 1980s [and 1990s] cannot persist" (36).
