Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel relates the life of Thomas Tims also known as Big T between 1957 and 1962. At the beginning of this period, he acquired a Bachelor of Science degree from a small southern African American college. At the end, he began his first professional position after obtaining a PhD degree from the University of Minnesota in Nuclear Physics. The novel begins at Thomas' college graduation, where we learn that during his four years at college he did not sever ties with his low class background, which many at his college, students and faculty, looked upon with varying degrees of concern. They noted his disregard for social norms and his sexual licentiousness and feared that they might lead to his ruin in addition to tarnishing the reputation of his alma mater. Nevertheless, in the Fall after his graduation, he entered the University of Minnesota Graduate School in Physics with a strong belief in the American dream and in his eventual success. However, it became evident that his fellow physics students, who mostly came from prestigious northern colleges were better prepared than he and their social culture was different from his. He was besieged with loneliness and fears that maybe he was inferior, morally and intellectually, to his white colleagues. Partially out of desperation he married an African American girl, with whom he separated while she was pregnant for a white mistress, Barbara Goodbody. During Thomas' stay at Minnesota, a vigorous debate was taking place in the United States on the position of African Americans in the country. Thomas entered this debate with other African Americans. The African Americans on campus were divided among those who were for complete assimilation of African Americans in the existing American society, others who sought both assimilation and a revolutionary improved American society and others who wanted complete separation of the two groups including division of the territory. Questions of current interracial relationships along with assorted difficulties of African Americans matriculating in predominantly white institutions were frequently discussed. When Thomas was close to graduation and looking for employment, it became clear to him, that having a white companion or wife would severely limit their opportunities. After suffering a serious frustration crisis, he made an extraordinary gesture to prove his love for Barbara then left her.

Download or read book In Pursuit of the PhD written by William G. Bowen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What percentage of graduate students entering PhD programs in the arts and sciences at leading universities actually complete their studies? How do completion rates vary by field of study, scale of graduate program, and type of financial support provided to students? Has the increasing reliance on Teaching Assistantships affected completion rates and time-to-degree? How successful have national fellowship programs been in encouraging students to finish their studies in reasonably short periods of time? What have been the effects of curricular developments and shifts in the state of the job market? How has the overall "system" of graduate education been affected by the expansion of the 1960s and the subsequent contraction in enrollments and degrees conferred? Is there "excess capacity" in the system at the present time? This major study seeks to answer fundamental questions of this kind. It is based on an exhaustive analysis of an unparalleled data set consisting of the experiences in graduate school of more than 35,000 students who entered programs in English, history, political science, economics, mathematics, and physics at ten leading universities between 1962 and 1986. In addition, new information has been obtained on the graduate student careers of more than 13,000 winners of prestigious national fellowships such as the Woodrow Wilson and the Danforth. It is the combination of these original data sets with other sources of national data that permits fresh insights into the processes and outcomes of graduate education. The authors conclude that opportunities to achieve significant improvements in the organization and functioning of graduate programs exist--especially in the humanities and related social sciences--and the final part of the book contains their policy recommendations. This will be the standard reference on graduate education for years to come, and it should be read and studied by everyone concerned with the future of graduate education in the United States.
