Nebraska was a tumultuous new state in 1869, the year its major 
University was founded. The early sociologists at Nebraska reflected this 
bumptious and daring spirit This special issue of the Mid-American Review 
of Sociology explores several facets of the intellectual heritage and institu-
tional foundations of sociology at the University of Nebraska. 
Several of the major figures in Nebraska sociology and the society 
surrounding them are introduced in the following pages. The contributions 
to this issue lay the groundwork for a yet more comprehensive and in-
tegrated study of the foundational years of sociology at the University of 
Nebraska. Michael R. Hill's efforts in organizing and editing this special 
issue deserve particular commendation. 
It is my hope that you will, as I have, enjoy reading these papers, both 
old and new, and thus discover more about early university life in the 
midwest and the then new-born profession of sociology.
