*[The source of these professors’ academic credentials are the Columbia University annual catalogs for the years 1904 through 1907. Most probably, Boas’ degree was a ‘Dr. rer. nat.’, as his dissertation on Beiträge zur Erkenntnis der Farbe des Wassers (published in his home town, Minden: Korber & Freytag, 1881) was in natural sciences, not the arts (where the regular doctorate would have been a ‘Dr. phil.’).
