Abstract
In Oxford, all psychiatric cases among undergraduates are referred by their general practitioners and therefore tend to be selected by them. There is no group they are more ready to pass on to the psychiatrist than the student complaining, in whatever guise, of homosexuality. It is not therefore surprising that homosexuals form a high proportion of the 100 Oxford students referred on psychiatric grounds and studied in the research underlying this paper (the mode of selection is described in Davidsonet al., 1955 and Spencer, 1957, p. 93). Opportunity was afforded also for the examination of 100 freshman controls from three Oxford Colleges (for mode of selection, seeloc. cit.). These students agreed to answer questions about their sexual development, including possible homosexual practices or interests.
