Human society is a concrete and unified phenomenon, whose concreteness and unity are no doubt obscured by the differences of method and approach which distinguish economics, history, government, anthropology and ethics. At the same time, however, these different social sciences have, through their very specialization, acquired a firmness of intellectual texture, a maturity of thought, and a body of information which are now essential to any competant understanding of society as a whole. The new field of concentration provides therefore, that students whose special interest is human society, shall combine...
