Abstract
Averaged rankings by faculty members on scholarship and professionalism were used as criterion variables for 61 doctoral recipients. A function of the age at entrance into the program was highly negatively related to both criteria. Undergraduate and graduate grade-point averages showed statistically significant validities of moderate magnitude. The scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Aptitude Test and Advanced Education Test gave somewhat lower correlations than did the grade-point averages. Use of the GRE for various purposes is discussed.Keywords
