Zimmerman Leaves to Join Fort Williams Army Unit

Carle C. Zimmerman, associate professor of Sociology, well known to Harvard students and newspaper readers for his outspoken ideas on the dangers of declining population, has joined the ranks of the Faculty who are serving out their tenure as members of Uncle Sam's forces.

A captain in the coast artillery reserves, Zimmerman is stationed at Fort Williams, near Portland, Maine, where he has charge of motor transportation for five forts in that area. His family remain in Winchester.

Zimmerman has recently been the recipient of much publicity because of his pessimistic predictions about the "drastic" decline of our population. The soft-spoken southerner, also one of the best-known authorities on, rural sociology, has attracted wide attention because of indictment of the wealthy and more privileged families that refuse to have their allotted number of children and instead leave that undertaking to the slum folks who can ill afford it.

He also became well known in Washington circles because of his opposition to the A.A.A.'s ploughing-under program and his advocation of direct subsidies instead.

Zimmerman is assured that America will probably win the war, but certainly lose the next one because the right people aren't having enough children. If they were to follow his advice, every married couple ought to have at least four children to keep the United States victorious and strong.

The dearth of babies, according to the Captain-sociologist, is also greatly responsible for the 1929 depression, which gave people too much money to lose in the stock market, and permitted a great surplus to accumulate.
