Abstract
ONE of the most vital and important contributions that science can make to modern thought must surely be in the realm of social science, of sociology, or the science of society?—to use the older term now adopted by Yale University. The question of its exact definition and scope, or of its relations with other kindred sciences, such as economics, history, anthropology, politics, psychology, ethics, is of small moment compared with that of making a really worth while contribution to the solution of at least some of the problems of modern civilisation.
