SOCIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CAMBRIDGE LIFE DROPPED

A study of how people spend their time, what they think about, and how they feel, begun by the department of Sociology last spring, has been discontinued because of lack of funds. The plans included principally a thorough survey of conditions in Cambridge, and was to include all classes, all ages, and all nationalities.

Since working hours have been decreased, and jobs have diminished in number, there are many new and interesting sociological problems which might be solved if the way in which people pass their leisure hours were known. No such survey, at least of any size, exists at present.
