New page

'''Franz Boas''' was a pioneering anthropologist. His work influenced [[Margaret Mead]].

==Anecdote==

When the US entered World War I in 1917, University President [[Nicholas Murray Butler]] sent a questionnaire to each member of the faculty asking how he or she planned to assist the war effort. By way of reply, Boas drew a line through the question and simply scribbled: "Mind my own business."<ref>http://www.anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=8945</ref>

 '''Franz Boas''' was a notable professor of [[anthropology]] at Columbia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as the "father of American anthropology," his work led to the foundation, at Columbia, of one of the first anthropology [[PhD]] programs in the country, and influenced many later significant anthropologists, including [[Ruth Benedict]] and [[Margaret Mead]].
 He was first appointed a lecturer in physical anthropology in [[1896]]. At the time, Columbia had several other anthropologists, scattered among various departments. Boas' achievement was to bring them together under one roof. He went on to develop the "four field" approach to the discipline, which unified cultural and physical anthropology with [[linguistics]] and [[archaeology]]. In the early 20th century, this structure of the discipline distinguished American anthropology from that of other Western countries. As a matter of course, Boas influenced not only future anthropologists, but also linguists like [[Edward Sapir]].
