The disease prevails in European countries and occasions great economic losses. The mortality is quite Ioav, the serious losses depending chiefly upon the diminution of the milk secretion and the loss of flesh in the affected animals.
Ophthalmology has been awarded to several candidates since 1913. Arnold proposes the degrees of Master of Science in Medicine (M.S.Med.) and Doctor of Science in Medicine (D.S.Med.), which in scholarship are essentially equivalent to the well known graduate degrees, Master of Arts (A.M.) and Doctor of Philos¬ ophy (Ph.D.). In addition, he proposes a degree of Doctor of the Practice of Medicine (D.P.Med.). "The requirements for this degree should be essentially the same as for the D.S.Med., except that the time devoted to research and to the preparation of a thesis would be devoted to the development of higher technic and skill in practice." The latter proposal, to establish a practitioner's degree without research or thesis, is open to serious objections. It would tend to sacrifice scholarship in favor of skill, and thus to yield an unbalanced and undesirable type of specialism. Rather would it seem better to insist that no specialistic training without scholarship requirements involving at least some orig¬ inal work should be crowned by a university graduate degree.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
