Let G be a finite p-group, having a faithful character χ of degree f. The object of this paper is to bound the number, d(G), of generators in a minimal generating set for G in terms of χ and in particular in terms of f. This problem was raised by D. M. Goldschmidt, and solved by him in the case that G has nilpotence class 2.
