How does he see himself?

WE START THIS STUDY of the graduate student, logically enough, with his own view of himself. Eight graduate students, representing schools from New Mexico to Cornell, tell us of their hopes and frustrations, their exams and research, their attitudes to national politics and campus administration. We learn of their motivation to physics and the reasons for their choice of a graduate school. In one case the wife of a contributor adds a comment of her own.
