‘West going to dogs,’ Say Sorokin, Wellock; ‘Not So,’ Rebuts Aiken

The Harvard Crimson

December 4, 1946

A personal note: I took a course with Professor Aiken: “Nature and Value,” Humanities 12b, at Brandeis University. My father, Alan W. Smith, took the courses Social Relations 1a and Social Relations 1b at Harvard during the 1948-49 academic year. Sorokin was not teaching them at the time. Social Relations 1a was taught by Gordon W. Allport. Social Relations 1b was taught by George Homans.
