8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Concluding the fifth annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological Conference at the Continental Hotel, eminent sociologists from eastern colleges yesterday heard the reports of the Round Table discussions conducted during the day. The hearing of the reports ended a two-day program in which were included addresses by many of the most prominent men in the field.
One of the highlights of the program was the annual dinner held in the ballroom of the Continental Hotel at 6.30 o'clock Saturday evening. Speakers at the dinner, of which Thomas Nixon Carver, David A. Wells Professor of Political Economy, Emeritus, was chairman, were R. M. McIver and Petirim A. Sorokin, chairman of the Department of Sociology at Harvard. Professor Sorokin, who selected "The Movement of Important Internal Disturbances in History," presented much material on the prevalence of war through the ages.
"The Part of Sociology in the Reconstruction program" chosen as the general theme of the conference, was the topic of most of the addresses on the program.
