Comments on Apendix Table A

Comments refer only to the data reported for number of faculty members.

Rank	Comment
5	Composers were apparently excluded
8	The reported number does not correspond either to the narrow or broad definitions of "Doctoral-Research Programs"
15	May include emeritus professors, or all faculty
17	Three lecturers in Music History/Musicology may have been counted
18	The three numbers represent the Dept. of Music (Ph.D. in Composition only); the Dept. of Ethnomusicology and Systematic Musicology; and the Dept. of Musicology. It is plain that the f aculty members of the Dept. of Music were counted, even though their program awards no Ph.D. in Theory, Musicology or Ehtnomusicology. The eight faculty members teaching in those areas in the Dept. of Music are included with "Professors Outside Field."
20	Only Musicology/Music History were reported, omitting Music Theory (as well as Ethnomusicology, which is taught in the Anthropology Dept.)
21	All fields were counted
36.5	Reported count apparently omitted 7 Music Theory professors
40	Three "adjunct professors" may have been counted
49	Four adjuncts may have been counted
