REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESEARCH.

The Annual Census of Research yielded 763 reports on projects in progress. In replying to the Census, members were requested to classify their projects by fields of sociology, indicating for each project a first and second choice among the twenty-one categories listed on an instruction sheet. These twenty-one categories were those used in taking the 1949 Census when members were last asked to classify their own projects. The number of projects reported by fields is given in a Table. The other category provided on the instruction sheet yielded sufficient numbers of reports classified by members as in the fields of communications and medical sociology to make adding these categories advisable in Table. Most of the remaining projects in the other category were classified by members as in the fields of alcoholism, aging and retirement, social psychiatry, and social stratification. If these categories are added to the instruction sheet, when the 1953 census is taken, the number of members using the other category should be reduced greatly.
