The journal assortment proposed by the Committee of Professional Training (American Chemical Society) is very strong in prestige and subspecialty titles from around the world. Yet, ironically for a society that strongly encourages undergraduate research and enforces an equitable distribution of subjects in curriculum, the list misses titles favorable to small college research and is imbalanced in specialities and formats. A counterproposal correcting these perceived failings is presented at the cost of more money, a little internationalism, and the exclusion of specialties rarely encountered at liberal arts colleges. © 1988 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
