University of Chicago. Society for Social Research

The Society for Social Research was established in 1921 as an association of graduate students in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. Unlike the Sociology Club, and earlier group which had admitted students, instructors and others, the Society limited membership to graduate students and those who had "attained professional standards of research." Robert E. Park, a leader in forming the organization, was elected the first president of the Society and played a significant role in defining its goals and programs.
