Doctoral theses represent a largely inaccessible mine of useful information. There is no simple way of finding out whether someone in another institution has written a thesis that is relevant to your own work, or of reading it. Here, we describe how this situation could be remedied by making theses freely available and easy to search in an international 'Thesis-Line' accessible through the Internet.
In 1842, F. C. Faye obtained the degree of doctor of medicine. He was the fourth person to do so in Norway. His dissertation was on the seminal vesicles. These were the focus of much attention at that time, when so-called seminal flux was considered both a serious symptom and the cause of many ills, both mental and physical. The treatise, which was in Latin, and the academic proceedings involved serve to illustrate the medical world of his time. They also provide a background for a brief review of today's conception of the seminal vesicles, which is still incomplete and not entirely satisfactory. Newer methods of imaging, such as transrectal ultrasonography, may shed new light on the pathology of these organs.
The International Union of Immunological Societies, recognizing the need for internationally acceptable standards for the PhD degree in immunology, commissioned the IUIS Education Committee to prepare recommendations on the subject. This document, the result of a two-year study of PhD programs in many countries, presents these recommendations.
