Abstract
IN 1958, with the support of the Carnegie Corporation's Committee on Graduate Education, the American Historical Association launched a major study of the graduate education of historians. Involving hundreds of questionnaires, interviews and site visits, the project was directed by John Snell of Tulane University and overseen by AHA's Committee on Graduate Education, whose chair was Dexter Perkins. The study's purpose was discover and describe-as objectively as possible-practices and problems in graduate training in history and suggestions for their improvement. 1 The final report, coauthored by Perkins and Snell, was published in 1962. It provides an opportunity both to illuminate our present discussion and to appreciate the need for humility on the part of those who venture to make projections into the future.
