HANKINS We do not have an interview with Frank Hankins, who was the ninth PAA President (1945-46). However, as Andy Lunde and Jean van der Tak (VDT) were interviewing other past presidents, they regularly asked questions about those early presidents whom they had been unable to interview. Below are the excerpted comments about Frank Hankins. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Frank Hamilton Hankins was born in Wilkshire, Ohio in 1877, but grew up in Kansas. He graduated from Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas, in 1901. He was superintendent of schools in Waverly, Kansas, for two years before going to Columbia University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1908. He taught at Clark University from 1906 to 1922, and was head of its Department of Political and Social Science. He then moved to Smith College, where he taught until he retired in 1946, just after serving as PAA President.

  • SOCIAL CAPITAL: Its Origins and Applications in Modern Sociology
    Annu. Rev. Sociol. 1998. 24:1–24 Copyright © 1998 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved SOCIAL CAPITAL: Its Origins and Applications in Modern Sociology Alejandro Portes Department of Sociology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 KEY WORDS: social control, family support, networks, sociability ABSTRACT This paper reviews the origins and definitions of social capital in the writings of Bourdieu, Loury, and Coleman, among other authors. It distinguishes four sources of social capital and examines their dynamics. Applications of the concept in the sociological literature emphasize its role in social control, in family support, and in benefits mediated by extrafamilial networks. I provide examples of each of these positive functions. Negative consequences of the same processes also deserve attention for a balanced picture of the forces at play. I review four such consequences and illustrate them with relevant ex- amples. Recent writings on social capital have extended the concept from an individual asset to a feature of communities and even nations. The final sec- tions describe this conceptual stretch and examine its limitations. I argue that, as shorthand for the positive consequences of sociability, social capital has a definite place in sociological theory. However, excessive extensions of the concept may jeopardize its heuristic value.
