universities in this five-year span. On the average, 56 full-time and part-time students intending to earn doctorates were enrolled in a program in December 1980, with an average faculty size of 28 members.2 The 123 programs, listed in Table 7.1, represent 122 different universities -- only Stanford University has two physics programs included in the assessment.

Since a large majority of faculty evaluators indicated that they were unfamiliar with this program and it is quite possible that some of them were misled by the inaccurate identification of this institution, the committee has decided not to report the survey results for this program. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 121 physics programs (and are given in Table 7.1~.
