Lundberg, George Andrew, 1895-1966

Sociologist George A. Lundberg, born at Fairdale, North Dakota in 1895, attended the University of North Dakota (B.A., 1920), the University of Wisconsin (M.A., 1922) and the University of Minnesota (Ph.D., 1925). Although he served as an instructor in sociology at the University of Washington between 1925 and 1927, it was not until 1945 that Lundberg returned to Washington as Professor of Sociology and Head of his department, replacing Jesse F. Steiner.

In the intervening years, Lundberg had served as an associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh (1927-1929), as Director of Social Research at Columbia University (1930-1934) and as Professor of Sociology and Statistics at Bennington College (1934-1945). Resigning from the departmental chairmanship at Washington (see Lundberg to Woodburne, 26 May 1953, Folder 36/22), Lundberg continued as Professor of Sociology and Statistics (and, from 1961, as Professor Emeritus) until his death in 1966.
