| Abstract: | The University of Chicago (UC) Press was a major catalyst in the rise of the University of Chicago's Department of Sociology
to preeminence by 1920 in American, indeed international, sociology. The role of the UC Press in this development has been
overlooked, even though a majority of books and articles written by Albion Small, W. I Thomas, their cohort, and their students
in this period bore the UC Press imprint. Editorial control of theAmerican Journal of Sociology, founded by Small in 1895, was exercised within the UC Department of Sociology due to its publication by the UC Press. The
University's support through its scholarly press was vital in establishing nationwide recognition and scholarly authority
for “Chicago Sociology” within the fledgling discipline. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A05BB023 00003 |
