William Carlson Smith (1883-?), educator and sociologist, contributed major research to the Survey of Race Relations, a 1925 study of economic, legal and social relations between whites and Asians on the Pacific Coast and in Hawaii. This research formed part of the basis for Smith's 1939 book . Perhaps Smith's most widely-known work was his 1953 book , which was the culmination of fifteen years of research and study. Smith did much of the research in Oregon while at Linfield College. The William Carlson Smith collection contains documents related to the Survey of Race Relations, including interviews with and autobiographies of Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, and other immigrants and first-generation Americans. There are also copies of official letters and published items concerning race relations. Americans in the Making The Stepchild
