ew Stress on Social
By DIANE LYNN SALTZ
Integration has been the key-
note of the academic career of
Prof. Robert C. Angell of the so-
ciology department.
Academically, he first became
interested in social integration-
what holds groups together-while
a graduate student at the U~niver-
sity. His doctoral thesis, published'
in book form as "The Campus,"
delved into the experience of un-
dergraduate life as a whole.
During the depression, Angell
was able to test his ideas on in-
tegration by studying families
pressured by income loss. Later
his scope broadened further-first
to the American society of a whole
and later to the international
scene.-
Best Known for American Studies
I've taught mostly in the area
of American institutions," Angell
observed. "This course (soc. 422)
has been the heart of my career,
the one students know me for."
Angell's Sociology 452 course,
national cultures and world so-
cieties reflects the expansion of
his interests in social integration
to international areas.
A n g e 11 transferred , research
methods he had employed in
American studies to his later in-
ternational studies.
"Before World War II, I de-
cided to find ways of getting hold
of the idea of integration with
empirical research. After olbtain-
ing comparative data on more
than 40 American cities, I drew
a few basic conclusions about what
makes a city desirable to live in.
Studied Integration
"The'rate of in and out migra-
tion, causing a lack of stability,
is one of the most influential fac-
tors in keeping integration down.
Heterogeneity-the percentage of
minority groups in the population
--also plays an important role."
The war interrupted Angeli's
study, but it also led him to con-
sider the great international prob-
lem-ending war.
Approaching the situation in a
manner similar to his study on
American cities, Angell used what
he calls "transitional participa-
tion" in his international studies.
"It encompasses," he says, "stu-

dents studying abroad, technical
assistants, and business and mili-
tary personnel who actually live
abroad. These are not tourists but
are residents who participate in
any one of 1700 international, re-
ligious, recreational, professional,
or political organizations.
Studied International Problems
Angell feels his study concen-
trates on a positive factor in in-
ternational integration.
"In 1956 we (Prof. Kenneth
Boulding of the economics de-
partment and a few others) felt
that social sciences other than
political science-sociology, eco-
nomics, psychology, anthropology
--should also do something about
the world situation." As a result,
the Center of Research on Con-
flict Resolution was founded, and
Angell became its co-director from
1961 to 1965 along with Prof.
Boulding, the current director.
In addition to his academic ac-
tivities, Angell has been an integral
part of the University structure.
"I think I've served on practically.
all kinds of committees," the pro-
fessor remarked. You might say
I'm an 'academic citizen'."
