Second Report on Pending Ph.D. Theses in Art History

In The College Art Journal issue of last Winter (Vol. X, No. 2, p. 162f.), there appeared a first report on the survey of pending Ph.D. theses in the field of art history, listing replies to the Journal's questionnaire received up to November 1, 1950. This second report covers replies received by September 1, 1951. In addition to further listings from American institutions, the present report includes notices of recent Ph.D. work at institutions in England and Holland. This is a first step in broadening the scope of the JOURNAL survey; sincere thanks are due to Professor Blunt of the Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of London, and Dr. A. P. L. M. Kreykamp of the Netherlands Ministry of Education, Arts, and Sciences, for their cooperation in making their records available. In further reports, the Journal survey hopes to include notices from other countries of Europe and the Americas; anyone now engaged on work in art history on the Ph.D. level not hitherto listed is invited to send a notice of it to Professor Alan Gowans, Department of Art, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
