AB The study reported in this volume was conducted at the sociology department of the University of Chicago through funds provided by the Rockefeller Foundation. The supervising committee included Prof. Everett C. Hughes and Prof. Philip Houser, of the department of sociology, and Prof. Franklin C. McLean, of the department of physiology, with the author directing the study, which extended from Oct. 1, 1955, through March 31, 1957. The first section of the report presents a statistical analysis of certain facets of medical education for Negroes. Data dealing with this analysis of Negro students and applicants were obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges, the registrars of Howard University School of Medicine and Meharry Medical College and a questionnaire survey of the other approved medical schools in the United States. Statistical information indicates that between 1938-1939 and 1955-1956 the number of Negro medical students in the United States increased 117%
