I am not a holder of a PhD degree

Dear Editor,

I would be grateful if you can kindly publish this missive. It was brought to my attention that the Chronicle newspaper has referred to me, Charles Ceres, as ‘Dr.’ Charles Ceres; however, I do not have a PhD. In the interest of providing exact clarification, I am a licensed professional with a BSc. (Civil Engineering) from Queens University and a MSc. (Geotech-nical Engineering and Groundwater Hydrology) from Drexel University. My MSc. work was focused on a comparison of length scales from Geostatistical modeling and field mapping and was less erudite than the more complex issues covered by PhDs in Guyana.

Sincerely,

Charles P Ceres, PE
