The essays included in this volume honor a truly gifted teacher and
sociologist, John C. Pock. After a brief stint at the University of
Illinois, Pock moved in 1955 to Reed College, a highly regarded but
very small liberal arts institution (roughly 1,000 students)
located in Portland, Oregon. Pock has spent the rest of his career
(to date) there. During his forty-year tenure at Reed College, the
sociology department usually had only two faculty members. Even so,
during this period as many as 104 students graduated with majors in
sociology and 69 established professional careers as sociologists.
(A listing, which is assuredly incomplete, of Reed students during
Pock's tenure who went on to professional careers in sociology is
presented in an appendix to this volume.) Many of these
sociologists have been extremely successful and influential within
the discipline. Reed sociologists have taught or are teaching at
the University of California at Berkeley, the University of
Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Michigan, Northwestern, Stanford,
UCLA, Wisconsin, and other leading U.S. academic departments.
Others have been employed as researchers in such prominent
institutions within and outside the United States as RAND, the
National Academy of Sciences, the National Opinion Research Center,
the East-West Center, the U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the Sloan Foundation, and the Australian National
University.
