University of Chicago Department of Social Science
 Acceptable Courses Taught by Instructors in Other Departments, 1893-1930

 

The information in this table was build up through content analysis of course descriptions published in the University of Chicago's Annual Register. As with other tables in this series, "Department of Social Science" is used as a convenient name for the administrative unit that included Sociology, Anthropology and Sanitary Science. As far as this table is concerned, the last inclusion of Anthropology and Sanitary Science has little effect. During the largest part of the reporting period, no courses of the type documented in the table were listed in the series of documents reviewed. 

The table collects together courses taught by instructors outside the department that were accepted for credit towards graduate degree in Sociology when taken by students from the department. Acceptable courses differed from Recommended courses detailed elsewhere in two ways. First, permission to take the "acceptable courses" for credit had to be obtained from the Department Head (Albion Small or Ellsworth Faris during the period reported). Second, "acceptable courses" were identified in an addendum to the Department's course descriptions whereas  "recommended courses" were identified in the body of the catalog, along side similar courses offered within the Department.

Caveat

Two problems afflict this table. The first courses listed in this fashion appeared as a series of Department and course numbers at the end of  "the Department's" entry. The series of numbers was repeated unchanged for seven years. Unfortunately, although the set is unchanged, the numbers do not refer to a consistent set of courses. To be interpreted consistently, we have used the names of courses as they appeared in the Annual Register (1906-07) to define the courses as they appear in the table. We believe but cannot yet demonstrate that this is the appropriate interpretation of the information in the Annual Register.
