HES: Re: QUERY--Albert B. Wolfe

[Malcolm Rutherford]

A. B Wolfe was a slightly peripheral member of the institutionalist 
group in the 1920's contributing to the Tugwell volume and to other 
volumes dealing with the relationships between the social 
sciences.  He had a particular interest in economics and philosophy, 
ethics, and in scientific method.  He later shifted his work almost 
entirely to demography.  I do not know much about this aspect of his 
work but I remember hearing a paper on it by a young scholar at an 
HES meeting a few years ago.  If I remember correctly Mary Morgan was 
also at that session--she may have been chairing it.
