Boas Anniversary Volume: Anthropological Papers Written in Honor of Franz Boas

Excerpt from Boas Anniversary Volume: Anthropological Papers Written in Honor of Franz BoasThis call has met with a hearty, unanimous approval, to which the present volume bears witness.The general sentiment of sympathy with this matter was well expressed by Mr. F. W. Hodge, editor of The Amer ican Anthropologist, in a letter dated Dec. I 5, 1905, as fol lows: I am very glad of this proposed action, both because the great value of Dr. Boas's work, his energy in advancing the interests of anthropology, and his many personal qualities, are thus to be recognized, and because in this country we are rather prone, I fear, to forget that there is a sentimental side to scientific life.Unfortunately Mr. Hodge was prevented from writing an article which he had planned for this occasion, owing to ill health.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
