INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 DIVISIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT. 
 
 The organization of Sociology and Anthropology in a single department is 
 provisional. The differentiation of an independent department of Anthropology 
 and Ethnology is anticipated. Meanwhile, the present alliance and cooperation is 
 fortunate, as it recognizes the dependence of social philosophy and social art upon 
 anthropological science. 
 
 The department of Sanitary Science, although equally entitled to independence, 
 is so closely connected with general Sociology that its inclusion in the department 
 of Social Science is most natural and convenient until separate organization is 
 practicable. 
 
 The further subdivision of subjects suggested below by the captions, “ Social 
 Institutions” and “Social Philosophy,” represents a division of labor, which per- 
 mits specialization by different instructors upon concrete institutions, on the one 
 hand, and upon generalization of social relations on the other hand. At the same 
 time, this division of labor is based upon the principle that interpretations of 
 special institutions and of general social relations are versions of the same scien- 
 tific data. The two versions are reciprocally corrective and corroborative. 
 
 ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY. 
 
 The courses here offered are intended to enable students to gain a general 
 idea of the history of human progress, to take a survey of the races of mankind, to 
 study the beginnings made by primitive man in times before history. To know 
 man, physical, intellectual, moral is important. No knowledge is more interesting, 
 or more valuable. The study of man is pursued, however, not only for the simple 
 facts learned, important and interesting as they are, but in order that these may 
 be used as a basis for profitable study in Sociology, and kindred subjects looking 
 toward practical ends. 
 
 SANITARY SCIENCE. 
 
 Under the present convenient union of the work in Sanitary Science with the 
 department of Sociology, an effort will be made to coordinate the courses offered 
 with the general aims and methods of Social Science. The trend, of the courses 
 therefore, will not be altogether technical, but their aim will be to serve as a helpful 
 foundation for future duties and interests as householders, owners and agents of 
 tenements, students of social reform, administrators of schools, hospitals, prisons, 
 and kindred institutions, and practical philanthropists. It is hoped, however, that 
 the study of the general principles treated may lead, in some cases, to investigation 
 along purely scientific lines, and, with this aim in view, the resources of other 
 departments will be found invaluable as adjuncts.

GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 
 
 Prevalent misconceptions make it necessary to advise students that Sociology 
 is neither the sum of modern experiments in beneficence, nor the formulation of 
 benevolent sentiments, uor a dogmatic short cut to the solution of problems which 
 baffle political and economic science. 
 
 Sociology is, first, a philosophy, that is, a correlation of the generalizations of 
 the special social sciences ; second, an application of social philosophy to concrete 
 problems. Social philosophy is invalid, unless it is chiefly constructed from data 
 authenticated by the antecedent sciences. Social programs, whether for society in 
 general, or for minor social endeavor, are without scientific credentials, unless they 
 are endorsed by social philosophy thus derived. 
 
 The department of Sociology has, accordingly, the following distinct aims : 
 (i) To furnish such expositions of social relations and theories as will serve the gen- 
 eral purposes of educated citizens. (2) To train teachers for similar work of general 
 exposition in colleges. (3) To furnish professional equipment for other vocations 
 devoted to social service ; including the offices of public instruction through pulpit, 
 platform, press ; and the work of organizing enterprises for social improvement. 
 (4) To unite, in the seminaries, a company of advanced students capable of the 
 most comprehensive thought upon social philosophy, and to enlist them in coopera- 
 tion for first-rate contribution to social doctrine. To this end, fellowships are 
 assigned to specially competent students of Social Science. 
 
 FACILITIES FOR STUDY. 
 
 The facilities for sociological study in the University of Chicago are unsurpassed. 
 The differentiation of departments devoted to social phenomena, and the division 
 of labor within the departments is nowhere more distinct and minute. The city of 
 Chicago is one of the most complete social laboratories in the world. While the 
 elements of Sociology may be studied in smaller communities, and while it may be 
 an advantage to beginners in the method of positive Sociology to deal at first with 
 more simple social combinations, the most serious problems of modern society are 
 presented by the great cities, and must be studied as they are encountered in con- 
 crete form in large populations. No city in the world presents a wider variety of 
 typical social problems than Chicago. 
 
 The instructors in the department of Social Science aim to use the scientific 
 materia] thus afforded both for didactic and constructive purposes. They find a 
 large proportion of their opportunities for research in cooperation with the public- 
 spirited men and women of the city. They are active members of many organiza- 
 tions of citizens for the purpose of investigating and shaping the life of Chicago. 
 Graduate students in the department are taught to work among social facts, and to 
 test and form theory by experience. 
 
 Thus the organized charities of the city have already afforded graduate 
 students of the Uiyversity both employment and training. The church enterprises 
 of the city have enlisted students in a similar manner. Several students of Sociology 
 have been residents and workers at Hull House. A social settlement upon the 
 
 5 
 
plan of Hull House has been founded and maintained by students and instructors 
 in the University. Another settlement is projected, to be under the special charge 
 of the Divinity School of the University, superintended by the Divinity School 
 Professor of Sociology. Social organizations of every description, from Trades 
 Unions to the Civic Federation, afford illustrations of every type of modern social 
 experiment, and opportunity for the largest variety of observation and experience. 
 Representatives of all these phases of social effort cordially cooperate with the 
 department of Social Science in making these social endeavors tributary to the 
 training of sociological students. It is the purpose of this department to appropri- 
 ate to the utmost every advantage afforded by the vast social laboratory within 
 which the University is located. This purpose will be especially prominent in con- 
 nection with the work of the social settlements. While the primary aim of these 
 enterprises is improvement of the districts in which they are undertaken, the 
 settlements are social observing stations where invaluable supplementary experience 
 should be sought by students, and where material is to be gathered by mature 
 investigators. In so far as the work of the settlements is guided by the University, 
 it will not stop with exhibitions of altruistic sentiments. It will attempt to test 
 general hypotheses, and to establish scientific conclusions by use of the evidence 
 which actual experiment affords. 
 
 On the other hand, the breadth of the University itself makes empirical and 
 provincial study of Sociology impossible. The differentiation of departments does 
 not imply isolation of thought. Scientific work in Sociology largely depends upon 
 logically antecedent sciences not only for material, but for method. This depend- 
 ence is recognized in the requirements specified below. More than this, it will 
 frequently occur that the kind of research which is decisive in a particular socio- 
 logical investigation is the more appropriate work of another department. Graduate 
 work in Sociology will accordingly involve frequent resort to cognate departments. 
 
 SPECIAL REGULATIONS. 
 
 Candidates for the higher degrees, if otherwise qualified, may choose as 
 principal or secondary subjects either (a) Anthropology and Ethnology; (fr) Sanitary 
 Science ; (c) General Sociology. The minimum amount of work accepted for the 
 degree of A.M., or for the secondary subject leading to the degree of Ph.D., is 
 twelve minors. Should General Sociology be the subject chosen, Courses 22, 24, 
 and 25 must be included in the number upon which the candidate presents himself 
 for examination. 
 
 If either of the above subjects be chosen as the principal subject for the degree 
 of Ph.D., the equivalent of thirty-six minors within or under the direction of the 
 department of Sociology and Anthropology will be required. 
 
 The following courses, stated in terms of majors, are recommended as giving 
 suitable preparation for graduate study in Sanitary Science, and will be considered 
 as prerequisites for the degree of Ph.D. : Physiography and Geology, 3 ; Physics, 3 ; 
 Chemistry, 6 ; General Biology, 3 ; Sanitary Biology, 1 ; Physiology, 3 ; Botany, 2 ; 
 Political Economy, 2; English, 3; Reading knowledge of German and French* 
 
 6 
 
The course of undergraduate study to be recommended as the best preparation 
 for graduate work in General Sociology includes the following subjects ; the pro- 
 portions being indicated in terms of majors, viz.: Physiography, I ; Physics, I ; 
 Chemistry, I ; Biology, I ; Anthropology and Ethnology, 2 ; Neurology, I ; Psychol- 
 ogy, i ; Ethics, I ; History of Philosophy, I ; History (to Peace of Westphalia), 
 3 to 6 ; Modern History and Political Science, 3 ; Political Economy, 3 ; Sociology, 
 2 (Courses 37 and 38). In addition to the University requirement of a reading 
 knowledge of French and German, candidates for the degree of Ph.D. in Sociology 
 must have completed, either as undergraduates or as graduates, the equivalent of 
 the above schedule of preparatory study. Undergraduates who contemplate gradu- 
 ate work in Sociology are advised to consult, as early in their college course as 
 possible, with instructors in the department of Social Science.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. 
 
 Note. — Courses marked with an asterisk (*) will not to be given in the year 1894-5. The term 
 Minor ( = M.) applies to a course of six weeks, calling in the Graduate School and the University 
 Colleges for four, in the Academic Colleges for five hours of class-room work per week. A Double 
 Minor (=DM.) is such a course extending through two terms of six weeks each. The year in each 
 instance is reckoned from July to July. 
 
 ANTHROPOLOGY. 
 
 1. Laboratory. Work in Anthropology. — Selected students, qualified for such 
 
 work, may pursue studies in the Laboratory or Museum, in Archaeology, 
 Ethnology, or Physical Anthropology, provided that, by so doing, they do 
 not trespass upon the field of the other workers in the University. Such 
 study will be under the direction of the instructor in Anthropology, and, if 
 desired, with his assistance. For graduate students.

SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY. 
 
 37. Contemporary Society in the United States. — This Course is designed as 
 
 an introduction, for under-graduate students, to sociological pursuits. It 
 serves incidentally to correlate the physical, biological, and social sciences 
 which are concerned with the phenomena presented by contemporary society, 
 and thus to show the bearing of each department of knowledge upon human 
 life and welfare. 
 
 The method of treatment is concrete throughout, and the plan includes : 
 
 (1) A Rapid General Survey of (a) natural conditions, geographical, geolog- 
 ical, climatic, etc. ( b ) Population, as to numbers, races, and distribution, 
 (r) Social arrangements, buildings, roads, railways, telegraph, the press, 
 etc. (d) Economic activities, production and exchange, (e) Social 
 institutions, religious, educational and political ; 
 
 (2) Detailed Study, from the standpoint of this review, of family and social 
 life in all its aspects in (a) the rural community, ( b ) the village, (c) the 
 town, in different parts of the United States. 
 
 Students will be expected to present papers on social life in the commu- 
 nities where they live ; to study local newspapers from many sections of the 
 country, to prepare sociological maps of villages and towns, and to make 
 comparisons as to domestic architecture, social customs, standards of con- 
 duct, and public opinion, between various parts of the United States. In 
 these and in many other ways they will learn to observe clearly, and report 
 accurately, social conditions as they actually exist at the present time. 
 
 DM. Winter Quarter. 
 Mr. Vincent. 
 
 38. Urban Life in the United States. — The concrete method will be followed in 
 
 this course, which will deal with 
 
 (1) General Considerations concerning city organization and activities, such 
 as (a) topographical arrangements ; (d) character of population ; (<r) group- 
 ings racial, economic, occupational, religious, etc. ; (d) separation of 
 classes according to wealth ; ( e ) political organization, and municipal 
 functions ; (/) conditions of social disease, class antagonisms, unsanitary 
 tenements, institutions of vice, crime, pauperism, etc. ; ( g ) means for 
 alleviation and reform, organized charity, social settlements, etc. ; ( h ) pub- 
 lic opinion and the press ; (i) standards of conduct, public and private. 
 
 (2) Practical illustrations drawn from the city of Chicago. While a detailed 
 
 study of the city is beyond the scope of this course, many applications 
 may be made to local conditions, and much may be gained from a syste- 
 matic study of the press. Each student will be expected to give special 
 attention to some one phase of Chicago life, and to present a thesis 
 upon it. DM. Spring Quarter. 
 
 Mr. Vincent.

40. Elements of Sociology. — An outline of the subject-matter of the science, with 
 especial reference to the needs of students who do not propose to pursue 
 advanced study in Sociology. The relations of the different departments of 
 social science to each other will be so explained as to expose the fallacy and 
 danger of constructing social programmes upon partial knowledge of the 
 conditions involved. DM. Summer Quarter. 
 
 Mr. Fulcomer. 
 
 *22. The Methodology and Bibliography of Social Science. — For the most 
 advanced students. M. First Term, Summer Quarter. 
 
 Head Professor Small. 
 
 *23. Seminar. The Psychology, Ethics, and Sociology of Socialism. — A study 
 of the non-economic content of modern socialistic systems. Open only to 
 students who have completed Courses 24 and 25. 
 
 Two hours a week, 3DM. Autumn, Winter, and Spring Quarters, 1893-4. 
 
 Head Professor Small. 
 
 24. The Province of Sociology, and its Relation to the Special Social 
 
 Sciences. — General introduction to Social Philosophy. More elementary 
 than Course 22. Presupposes elementary courses in History, Political 
 Economy, Psychology, and Ethics. DM. Autumn Quarter. 
 
 Head Professor Small, and Mr. Vincent. 
 
 Offered as a MM. First Term, Summer Quarter, 1894. 
 
 Head Professor Small. 
 
 25. Social Anatomy, Physiology, and Psychology. — With Small and Vincent’s 
 
 Introduction to the Study of Society, as a guide, the works of Comte, Spencer, 
 Schaffle, Lilienfeld, De Greef, and Ward are interpreted in logical, rather 
 than chronological order. The resulting method is used constructively in 
 analysis and synthesis of social phenomena. Practice in direct observation, 
 and in correlation of material is a prime object of this course. 
 
 2DM. Winter and Spring Quarters. 
 
 Head Professor Small, and Mr. Vincent. 
 
 Course 25 is a continuation of Course 24. The two courses indicate the scope 
 and exhibit the methods of Descriptive Sociology. Course 24 may be taken with- 
 out Course 25, but Courses 22, 24, and 25, will be required of all candidates for the 
 degree of Doctor of Philosophy who present Sociology, either as primary or sec- 
 ondary subject. 
 
 *26. The Organic Functions of the State and of Government. — Exposition of 
 the premises of Political Philosophy derived by the criteria expounded in 
 Courses 24 and 25. DM. Spring Quarter, 1894. 
 
 Head Professor Small. 
 
 27. Problems of Social Statics. — The system of Social Philosophy introduced 
 by Courses 24 and 25 is developed in its statical division. Statical Sociology 
 is treated as the theory of the equilibrium of a social order in which imma- 
 
 13 
 
nent social economies are realized. A method of social ethics is derived 
 from investigation of social economies. The ethical presumptions of con- 
 temporary economic, political, educational, and religious institutions are 
 criticised, and the sociological method of deriving principles of social con- 
 duct is applied. 3DM. Autumn, Winter, and Spring Quarters. 
 
 Head Professor Small. 
 
 Course 27 forms Part II. of the system of Social Philosophy, introduced by 
 Courses 24 and 25. Course 27 may be taken by students who are suitably pre- 
 pared, without Courses 24 and 25 ; or students who wish to make Sociology their 
 principal subject, may combine Courses 24, 25, and 27 as three Double Majors. 
 
 28. Seminar. — Problems of Social Dynamics . This course completes the outline 
 of Social Philosophy by expounding the problems of Dynamic Sociology. 
 The discovery and application of the dynamic resources of society is treated 
 as the distinctive and ultimate province of Sociology. The facts of individ- 
 ual and social life classified by Descriptive Sociology, with the immanent pos- 
 sibilities of social development formulated by Statical Sociology, define the 
 task and prescribe the limitations of the dynamic action which it is the 
 aim of Social Science to direct. In this course the facts of Social Psychol- 
 ogy are studied with reference to the possibilities of teleological progress. 
 
 3 DM. Autumn, Winter, and Spring Quarters. 
 
 Head Professor Small. 
 
 30. The Historical Sociologies. — Exposition of significant classical, mediaeval 
 and modern attempts to interpret social phenomena. Criticism of data, 
 methods and conclusions. DM. Summer and Winter Quarters. 
 
 Dr. Thomas. 
 
 Note. — Courses 22-30 are for graduate students exclusively or primarily. 
 
 THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB. 
 
 The members of the Social Science Club are the instructors and graduate 
 students in the Departments of Social Science and Anthropology. By a vote of 
 two-thirds of the members of the Club, other persons, whether connected with the 
 University or not, may be admitted to membership. 
 
 The purposes ot the Club are : “ (a) Co-operation in the study of current 
 
 sociological literature, especially the periodicals of Europe and America ; (b) 
 
 exchange of information about books upon Social Science ; (c) formation of 
 
 acquaintance with workers in the various kinds of social endeavor, whether theoret- 
 ical or practical ; (d) mutual assistance, through criticism of studies upon sociol- 
 ogical subjects presented by the members ; (e) support, whenever practicable, of 
 
 social efforts organized either r by members of the University or by citizens of 
 Chicago.” 
 
 Meetings are held every week. Two of the meetings each month are for 
 debates, one evening per month is devoted to the journals, and one evening to 
 papers or addresses, followed by discussion. 
 
The subjects upon which papers have been presented during the year 1893-4, 
 
 are as follows : 
 
 Prof. E. W. Bemis, - - Assessment Insurance , - Oct. 23.
