...that end he has reorganized Yale's psychiatry department. Beginning with two professors, he drew in faculty members from sociology, biology and the behavioral sciences. The expansion associated him with Yale Sociologist August B. Hollingshead, and in 1958 they published Social Class and Mental Illness. The book made the point that a severe emotional disturbance was likely to be diagnosed as schizophrenia and lead to confinement in a state hospital if the patient was poor, but diagnosed as a "personality problem" and treated in the office by a private psychiatrist if the patient could afford...

...University of Chicago's Center for Urban Studies, an eleven-man faculty headed by Sociologist Philip Hauser is studying, among other things, the effect of urban renewal on small businesses, probing the finances of public housing to see if the money is most efficiently used. A Harvard-M.I.T. Joint Center for Urban Studies, created with Ford Foundation funds by former M.I.T. President Julius Stratton and former Harvard Dean McGeorge Bundy -who, coincidentally, now hold the two top jobs at the Ford Foundation-advises a metropolitan council embracing 78 towns and cities. It gets so many requests for help...
