Thomas’s Courses at the University of Chicago
This document summarizes Thomas's announced teaching schedule from the time of his arrival at the University of Chicago, in the summer term of 1893 to the spring term of 1918, as presented in the University of Chicago's Annual Register, 1892-93 through 1817-18. Regrettably, course descriptions were not included in Annual Register after 1916. We believe --- but have not confirmed --- that they may be preserved in the University's quarterly Announcements.
The shortcoming of this approach to determining actual courses delivered, of course, is that a course scheduled does not necessarily mean a course delivered. The schedule can be validated against the University's archive of "Instructor Grade Reports," the "grades-turned-in" by a course's instructor. Part of that work was carried out by the University of Chicago archivists for Rudolph Haerle's.[1] He was able to confirm that courses in 1911 were not taught because of Thomas' third trip to Europe, the first carried out with the support of the Helen Culver Fund for Race Psychology. He was able to confirm that the scheduled courses between 1908 and the end of 1917 were taught. The courses from the Spring quarter of 1918 were cancelled by the University Administration. We have identified each known misfit between plan and reality with "Course not taught"..
We have not yet confirmed which of the scheduled courses were taught prior in the period prior to 1908 against the Instructor Grade Reports. As a result, the schedule presented here for the period between the Summer Quarter of 1893 and 1908 can only be considered a tentative calendar for Thomas schedule.
