Dear Colleagues, I am putting the finishing touches on a transcript of Talcott Parsons based on a seminar that he gave at Brown University on March 10, 1973. Parsons explained that he went to Amherst college as an undergraduate and the President of that college was Alexander Meiklejohn (AM). Apparently, Amherst "dimissed [him] from the presidency of Amherst." Has anyone any information about this dimissal? This is to be the January issue of the American Journal of Economics and Sociology with commentary on the transcript and the issue also contains several original articles about Parsons by Parsons scholars. It will also appear in book form (a shameful plug) in the series I edit for Blackwell Publishers. Thanks. Laurence Moss
