We believe, therefore, that Dr. Woods"s conclusion--that 'there
have been a few notable exceptions, but broadly speaking all
our very capable men of the present day have been engendered
from the Anglo-Saxon element already here before the beginning
of the nineteenth century'--should be modified. A sounder
conclusion and, in fact, the only one that could be reached
through the results established above, would be this:
Achievement in those activities represented in 'Who"s Who in
America' is acquired disproportionately by stocks predominantly
Teutonic in comparison with the Irish.
