This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

He found that all but 26 of the men who replied had come to some decision as to their life work. As to the time of choosing, he found that of the 493 who had made up their minds, 216 had reached their decision before entering college, 43 had chosen after graduation, 208 had decided during the college course, and 32 failed to specify the time of choosing.

In checking up the answers the investigator apportioned these pro rata so that the answers represent not only whole votes but one-half and one-third votes.
