SUMMER COLLEGIAN.. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
group behavior.
Courses in social problems,.so
cial studies, introductory sociol
ogy, and related topics are offered
or required in almost every phase
of American education.
BUT A QUESTION that has
been under intense scrutiny lately
is: Is Social Science a Science?
According to a research profes
sor of physics on campus, "experi
ments involving the human being
are greatly subjected to many
human variables, some of these
may have no bearing upon what
is actually trying to be deter
mined."
Dr. Raymond Pepinsky ex
plained that the influences of
these unpredictable variables
would tend to negate the experi
mental results.
IN PHYSICS OR CHEMISTRY,
he said, we can control, to a large
degree the environment in which
an experiment takes place, and
with the data from such an experi
ment we can predict very ac
curately what the results of the
same experiment, run at another
time, would be.
"Studies in social sciences are
so hampered by 'human pres
sures' that much of the data
Weaned could not be used with
reasonable accuracy to predict
future outcomes."
Pepinsky said that the methods
used in gathering data for soci
ological studies are scientific, but
for a field of study to be a true
science it must he able to predict
future events to such an extent
that the probability of error is
negligible.
SOCIAL SCIENCE RAS NOT,
as yet, been able to determine
TWO's ENOUGH
what to do in a situation such
as the present one involving Cas
tro, he said.
Or, how should a man like
Khrushchev be handled? "Cer
tainly he's not predictable but if
social science were a true science
it would be able to determine the
methods to handle 'K' and men
like him."
It is often dangerous to use
social science data to make fu
ture decisions involving such in
dividuals, he said. Whereas in a
physical science, "we know
whether an explosion or so will
occur if certain chemicals are
mixed."
Pepinsky said he feels that
while much is being done by so
cial scientists to bring their field
up to the position of being a sci
ence, they have not yet accom
plished their goal.
IT IS NOT beyond reason to
think that it might some day be
come a true science, he said. But,
as for the present, it is probably
best defined as a philosophy in
volving social behavior, rather
than a science.
Pepinsky said that social science
is a very difficult area of study,
and stressed that effects of the
many hard-to-control variables
are the prime detriment to valid
experimental data.

Jeffries Exits
As Emeritus
In Agronomy
Dr. Charles D. Jeffries, pro-
lessor of soil technology in the
Department of Agronomy, re
tired with emeritus rank at
the end of last month after
completing 42 years of teach
ing and research.
Following his graduation from
the University in 1919, Jeffries
joined the faculty and served as
an associate in the Institute of
Animal Nutrition until 1927 when
he was transferred to the Depart
ment of Agronomy.
IN 1945 HE WAS named pro
lessor of soil technology. He re
ceived his master of science de
gree from the University in 1922
and his doctor of philosophy de
gree from the University of Wis
consin in 1936.
Jeffries initiated the first re
search in the United States in the
field of soil mineralogy in the
early 1930'5. He has been con
cerned with both theoretical and
applied aspects of soil mineralogy
and has developed methods and
procedures to identify and clas
sify soil minerals.
HE SERVED AS visiting soil
technologist at the University of
Puerto Rico in 1943 and Soil Sci
entists in 1950. In 1946 he was a
visiting professor of soils at the
University of Wisconsin for six
months and this past January was
a consultant on soil problems for
the Council of Scientific Research
in Jamaica.
