Abstract
THERE are at present four degrees in the faculty of science of the University of London which may be granted for a research thesis, namely, D.Sc., Ph.D., M.Sc., and (in exceptional cases only) B.Sc. If a recent report by a sub-committee of the Academic Council should be finally adopted by the University, these four will be reduced to two, D.Sc. and Ph.D., while a new series of examinations will be introduced for M.Sc. As I feel very strongly (with many of my geological colleagues) that this would be a mistaken Policy, I venture to ask for space in the columns of NATURE to state my reasons for that feeling.
