Tub FovmumDear Dr. Sorokin,Karoh 6, 19^9I believed that I !eve not acknowledged the articleby Ae lay Montagu, whioh you racantly forwarded. I found it ofsome Internet and the source mat rial bob particularly apropos.He "ill be attending the meeting on Saturday, Larch26th at Yale University (1 p.m. Fellows Room, Silllman College)when the proposed study of cooperation in the living kingdoms■ill be further discussed and no doubt approved. It would bevery valuable, indeed highly important! for you to je presentand to £ive us the final push vihich that meetin,; represents.After that data each of these projects nill have been assignedto an indiviiual and those of our members, such as yourself,who are very overburdened already with duties, oan count uponIt that the work nill roll along without need to call out 3oardmembers for personal m-atlngs.Dr. P. A- SorokinEmerson ikllfbrvard UniversityCambridge JS, Mass.

The second meeting of the ~x<- uiiivj Coi'nsil of the fieoearoh Coorc >isting Board nas fixed for 1 p.m.., D«taK"*y, Ma?oh 26, 1949, in the F»JJ.«iRoom, Silliman College, Yali U.iiva-sity.It has besn suggested that in addition to the Council, those memberof the Research Coordinating Board vino havs agreed to nork upon epecifieapproved projects should, if possible, be present. I shall be gratefulif you nill advise me promptly of your availability. You nill realisethat your presenoe is of first importance if we are to go ahead with thsactual studies.The <Concerning ths proposed project on Cooperation, whioh has importantmeaning ia Itself and alio in relation to the studies Dr. Sorokin ii guiding. Dr. l.ontag* kindly provides a statement which may be the basic ofdiseussion of this ltsm on tlareh 26"th:QOOPSflATIOH"The work sf an sppreeiable number of biologists, and iom* thinkers,during the last fifty years, has increasingly converged upon ths conclusionthat cooperation rather than conflict is ths dominant relationship existingbstween animals of the sane group, members af the same species, end in anueh larger number of cases than had bssn thought, in Interspecific, andeven intargenerie, and lnterordinal, relationships In nature. /.Ilea,Emerson, Gerard, Lillle, Aixlay, Holmes, Sherrington, and the nritor, inrecent years have all more or leas independently arrived at this conclusion.The work of earlier investigators, has been largely forgotten or overlooked,with the oxoiption possibly of Kropotkin and Ksssler. I should like tosuggest that one of the first steps in the projected inquiry into theorigin and evolution of cooperation, should be a thorough analysis of theliterature, in order from the first to put the investigation in properhistorical perspective, end, in addition, to make available to otherworkers an efficient summary of nhat has thus far bson achieved.'I think a graat deal more nork requires to be done on the ecologyof cooperation and conflict under natural conditions. I should like tosec properly trained field investigators engaged upon such studies underthe ausni.oas of a committee shier) could be responsible for the directionsad final analysis and integration of their nork. Animal reletlonchlpBshould be studied under different ecological conditions in order to determine to what extant sushi sonditions influence the behavior of suchto ens another or towards their neighbors.

I am particularly interested in studying these problems in humanbeings living in culturally different groups and different physical envircrmenta. I believa that our most fruitful results nill come from this latt?ikind of study, but that study on loser astasia is necessary for cocpsretiv?as well as certain othsr reasons.

I think v,e ahall not need now to have any moremeetings of our group for a very considerable period, although I hopeno shall meet occasionally as individuals-Ashley-l'ontagu and Gordon had a very successful visit withMr. Pickett in Philadelphia on Tuesday lost and he has agreed to supportour application before Independent Aid, Inc. It Is clear that we shallbe able to make rapid headway from thia point on. Tha registrations forthe v/elloaley Workshop are piling up on us now very rapidly and it isclear that the Resource Leadership will be of the first order. In accordance with our correspondence with you, we shall strictly limit your participation to the opening session on the blonrtay morning, and thus bynoon of that day, if It should prove necessary, you will be entirely free.It has been suggested that I share with you the task of balng ResourceLeader for that opening session. No formal papers are required, neitheri.re any lon^; spsecliee expected. After brief opening remarks, identifyingprecisely the nature of the discussion, the company can be expected totake over, and there will be a Moderator actually to run the meeting for^t_f^—^'i JU-~H- >t>^
