Benutzer:Radh/Anthropologen, Boas Schüler und Mitarbeiter

Listed here are very few of Franz Boas' co-workers, but all the students I could find. There were only 7 PhDs in anthropology at Columbia from 1901 to 1907 (en WP). But around 40 dissertations from 1920 to 1940, so there is still half the guys missing.

"PhD" says: with Boas, at Columbia University.

J. Falk: from 1920 to 1940 Columbia issued 40 PhDs in anthropology, 20 for men, 20 for women (Julia S. Falk, Women, Language and Linguistics, p. 111. Her source is Esther Schiff Goldfrank autobiography (1978), Notes..., page 18.
