Hi Thanks to everyone for the leads (and also to google, which was a big help as well).
The Newman reference is: Newman, J. H. (1998). Rapprochement among undergraduate psychology, science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education. Amer Psychologist, 53, 1032-1043. The NSF document titled "Undergraduate origins of recent (1991-95) science and engineering doctorate recipients" is available at www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/nsf96334/htmstart.htm The results vary across disciplines (e.g., only 46% of psych doctorates received their bachelor degrees at research universities) and are complex in other ways as well (e.g., the new Carnegie classification of institutions). A short piece arguing for more funding of Undergrad Science Education was written by Tobin, President of Hamilton College. It is at www.acenet.edu/hena/issues/2000/11_20_00/opinion_tobin.html He states (addressing the base rate issue) "The NSF found that although only 4 percent of Americans attend liberal arts colleges, these institutions produced 15 percent of those who earned doctorates in the sciences and engineering between 1991 and 1995." There is also a related article that cites earlier data at: www.the-scientist.com/yr1992/nov/prof_921123.html Thanks again for the help.
