206 THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY
Pkofessor Moore, University of South Carolina : "It is somewhat diffi- cult to make satisfactory statements here as the work is of such recent origin. There is as yet little ground for the appreciation of the science; its meaning must first be understood. The only step forward in the last four years is to give two courses instead of one."
Professor of History, University of the South: "I feel that sociology as a science separate from history, economics, political science has no place in the curriculum of a small college. I have grave doubts as to the advisa- bility of such work in undergraduate courses even in larger institutions, except in very definitely applied sociology. The theoretical side is more fitted for graduate work."
Professor Hunt (Economics and Sociology), University of Southern California : "Present tendency is toward a better agreement as to the scope and limitations of sociology. In future much detail and speculation will be omitted, and ascertained fact will be assumed (except in purely theoretic discussion). A better and safer historic perspective will be developed. Practical applications will be expounded and multiplied. Teachers, preach- ers, and public officers will be trained and so project the subject usefully into society."
Professor Banks (History and Economics), University of the State of Florida: "At present here at the University of Florida we are doing very little really efficient work in sociology proper — a fact clearly appreciated when it is stated that one professor is attempting to cover history, eco- nomics, political science, and sociology."
Professor Cary (Economics and Sociology), University of Utah: "Taking into account this year's enrolment, which is 64, the class member- ship has increased tenfold in five years, and the interest in the work we are doing promises a continuance of the growth. It has become a pre- requisite to the teaching profession here and it is not unlikely that in the near future the better high schools will be doing some work under that title."
Professor Custis (Economics), University of Washington: "The Uni- versity of Washington is a rapidly growing institution and there seems to be a fairly good demand for work in sociology. Possibly there will be some expansion in the next few years, and if so it is likely to be on practi- cal lines. I am giving the work partly because it seems desirable that work in sociology should be given; but I do not expect to increase the amount of time devoted to the subject. When more courses are given they will probably be given by someone else. There is more of a tendency for the work of the department to expand on business than on sociological lines. I think that the amount of work in sociology is likely to increase, but it will be a more or less forced increase."
