long line of scholars to carry
out a prescribed schedule of
work in the graduate school, the
man to whom goes the credit of
receiving the first Doctor of
Philosophy degree i3 William
Battle PhiUips.
Phillips obtained the degree
of Ph.B. as a member of the
class of 1877. In the field of
chemistry he exceUed as an un
dergraduate, and f oUowing his
graduation he worked as an as
sistant under Dr. Albert R.
Ledoux, who had been selected
by the board of trustees to head
an experiment station at Chapel
HU1 to conduct research in fer
tilizers for the state agriculture
department.
Received Degree in 1SS3
The first doctorate was con
ferred on him in 1883. He had
specialized in the fields of chem
istry and geology. In 1885
PhiUips was elected to the chair
of agricultural chemistry and
mining at the University. But
since the University had not the
struction in this department,
the entrance of Dr. PhiUip3 to
the faculty was postponed. He
was said to be too young he
was 28 at the time and not
sufficiently trained for hi3 au
gust position. To prepare him
self he spent a year studying at
the School of Mines in Frei
berg, Germany.
He attained professorial rank
in 1886 and for two years wa3
on the faculty. From 1891 to
f 1893 he was professor of chem
istry and metallurgy at the Uni
versity of Alabama. He held
many other positions of trust,
including the directorship of the
University of Texa3 mineral
survey, 1901-1905, and" was
president of the Colorado
School of Mines, 1914-1916. Be
fore his death in 1918, he had
written over three hundred bul
letins in scientific and technical
productions on many topics.
Research Established Early
Graduate work at the Uni
versity may be said to have
been started when in 1792 ap
paratus was purchased to facil
itate research in physics and
astronomy. No formal division
of graduate study was estab

plan for instruction designed
for such establishments at least
as far as the Master of Arts de
