Historical Note
The study of Sociology first appears in course catalogues dating back to 1894, just two years after the first academic calendar. It was initially classified as an Economic Science and groups with classes such as political science and history, where they attempted to teach students about the problems of corporate industry. 1928 is the first appearance of the actual Department of Sociology. The goal of the Department of Sociology is to teach students about why social groups behave the way that they do and how inequality and human ecology affect society.

This material was transferred to WSU Libraries' MASC by Sabreen Dodson on April 24, 1997 and retained as UA1997-07.
Processing Note

However, should be sorted for relevance and potentially privileged information related to students.
