Preface

Abstract

This issue of The American Behavioral Scientist is dedicated to the memory of Dr. James R. Hundley, late of the Department of Sociology, Michigan State University, who passed away on November 3, 1967, before the paper he was preparing for this issue was completed. His premature death at the age of 28 is not only a tragic loss to his family, friends, and colleagues, but the behavioral sciences lost a most promis ing and able scholar. That his research may in some measure continue, the Depart ment of Sociology at Michigan State University has established (and is receiving contributions for) the Hundley Memorial Research Fund to support graduate students doing studies in the area of collective behavior.
