Early in 1948 the authors began a study of the content of the usual course in freshman chemistry in the United States. We hoped at the same time to gather a good deal of information about the status of inorganic chemistry in relation to chemistry as a whole. Accordingly, a survey questionnaire was sent to 60 departments of chemistry accredited by the A. C. S., selected from the list published in Chem. Eng. News, 25, 3888 (1947).Fifty replies were received, although some were not complete. All figures are for the year 1947. PART I-FACTS OBTAINED IN REGARD TO FRESHMAN CHEMISTRY INSTRUCTION(1) Total Faculty (Asst. Prof, and up) = 671 (49 departments reporting).(2) Total faculty (Asst. Prof, and up) teaching freshman chemistry = 220 (49 departments reporting).
