aThis is an abbreviated version of Table 3 in
Albert Somit and Joseph Tanenhaus, American
Political Science: A Profile of a Discipline
(New York: Atherton Press, 1964), p. 34. It differs
from the original by dropping rankings for 1925 and
by only listing the top fifteen departments in
1963.
bHayward Keniston's 1957 survey of
opinions of 25 departmental chairs, reported in
Graduate Study and Research in the Arts and
Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania
(Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press,
1959), p. 142.
cSomit and Tanenhaus report sending 832
questionnaires to every fifth faculty member of the
American Poltiical Science Association listed in
the 1961 Directory. A total of 431 usable
questionnaires were returned. This ranking is based
on responses to the question, "How would you
characterisze the over-all quality of the doctoral
program in political science now offered at each of
these universities? (Check 'excellent,' 'good,'
'fair,' 'poor,' or 'can't say.')"
