Address given by Everett V. Stonequist, Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Department, for the Faculty Research Lecture in 1965.
Local Note
Established in 1957, the annual Faculty Research Lecture (renamed the Edwin M. Moseley Faculty Lectureship in 1979) recognizes a Skidmore faculty member for her/his outstanding scholarly achievement, artistic accomplishment, academic research, and/or creative work. The individual selected gives the Moseley Lecture, which is one of the college’s major public events of the year. While deemed a "lecture," the presentation has no prescribed format: it might center, for example, around a reading, performance, or exhibition and is usually held during the month of February. The award acknowledges an exemplary level of scholarship and achievement that sets a standard for academic excellence at Skidmore. It is the highest honor that the Skidmore faculty can bestow on one of its own.
