Speech Communication Association / .., EDITOR'S PREFACE This volume of theBibliographic Annualreflects a fifty per cent increase in the number of titles of graduate theses anddissertations reported as well as in the number of abstracts submitted for printing. The increase can be traced to an improved system of soliciting institutions for reports and the subseiluent punctual response by a majority of these institutions. As a result, the key word title index format employed last year has been modified in order to meet space limitations. ,- In addition, the annual bibliography of communication, rhetoric, and public address has expanded by sixty per cent over last year's compilation. In just two . years, the number of citations now included has tripled. To aid the reader, a., r reNised and expanded table of contents to this particular bibliography has been constructed and should be consulted prior to use of the bibliography (see pp. 210-211). With the expanded demand upOn space, several specialized bibliographies have been delayed for publication'until Volume III, thereby filling all available , . space. Consequently, prospective contributors should send manuscripts for con- sideration to the next editor: Patrick C. Kennicott Speech Communitation Association Statler Hilton Hotel New' York, N.
