| Abstract | At the end of the Second World War, the stage was set for a new generational change, influenced in part by new sources of funding and a shift in power to private universities, notably Harvard and Columbia. This led to a division: the public universities of the Midwest continued their own heavily statistical traditions, but were outshone by the programs for the development of sociology being promoted at Harvard and Columbia by Parsons, Merton, and Lazarsfeld. Their programs had allied themselves to the idea of behavioral science. Yet the program was a failure, and broke down as a result of the student revolt of the late 1960s and early 1970s. |
