PREFACE

Although continuing the series of Yale graduate directories begun in 1872, and follow-

ing in general the plan of recent editions, the 1920 Alumni Directory contains several im-

portant changes.

In 1910 the first list of living non-graduates was compiled and printed, the names being

given in one alphabetical
list.
The second edition
(1914) grouped these former students

by schools and classes, following the established scheme of the graduate directories.
For

the greater convenience of those using the lists all living graduates and non-graduates are

included in the present volume.

In the lists of Yale College, the Sheffield Scientific School, and the Schools of Forestry,

Medicine, Law, and Divinity, non-graduate students are listed after the graduates of each

class.
In the other schools, since there is no class organization, a slightly different arrange-

ment has been followed.
A detailed Table of Contents has been prepared for the assistance

of those consulting the lists.

During the past year the Master of Science and higher engineering degrees have been

transferred from the Sheffield Scientific School to the Graduate School; recipients of these

degrees are therefore listed under the Graduate School.

An addition has been made to the locality index which should add apjpreciably to its

value.
The letters used as a key on the addressograph to
indicate
the various occupa-

tions have been printed in this index so that the number of Yale men in a given occupation

in each city and town may be readily ascertained.

Since 1916 two changes have been made in the classification by occupations, advertising

and forestry having been separated from mercantile and engineering, respectively.
Avail-

able information regarding men engaged
in
these
occupations has been
used
in
this

Directory.

Law continues to engage the largest number of graduates, 3,809 following that pro-

fession;
manufacturing
is second with 2,467; finance
third with 2,435; while the educa-

tion group comprises 2,174 and engineering,
1,913.

The statistics show little change in the general distribution of the alumni, as a compari-

son of the net totals of 1916 and
1920 on page 625 brings out in a striking manner.
The

enrollment in each section of the country has increased proportionately with the number of

graduates, which shows for four years, on account of the war, about the same change as in
the two years from 1914 to 1916.
Six hundred and
three graduates have
addresses
in

foreign countries, China claiming the
largest number
(119),
followed by Canada
(no),

Japan
(88), England
(63), and France
(42).
The distribution of non-graduates
is similar

to that of graduates.

Of a total of 20,490 living graduates addresses are recorded for all but one and three-

tenths per cent.
The number of living non-graduates (students who have remained at the

University long enough to be included in the annual catalogue) is 7,675; 832 of this number
have no addresses in this book.

During the years since 1916 there have been an unusual number of changes of location

and occupation, due largely to the war.
The completeness
of
this book
testifies
to
the

active coSperation between alumni and their organizations and officers, and the Secretary's

Office, in its effort to keep the lists as accurate as possible.
The facilities of the office are

utilized more and more by the alumni with the resultant exchange of information.

great assistance to receive prompt notification of changes of address or occupation; alumni

are urged to keep the Secretary's Office advised regarding themselves and others, in order

that the address lists and files may be up-to-date.

Miss Marion L.
Phillips, Assistant Alumni
Registrar,
has
been
responsible
for
the

alumni lists since 1916 and it is to her untiring and efficient efforts that their accuracy and

completeness is largely due.

The information in this Directory is corrected to June 30, 1920.

It is requested that the lists be used only for University and personal purposes, and
not

as a general mailing list for advertising.
