Abstract
THE death on September 17 of Ruth Fulton Benedict at the comparatively early age of sixty-one deprives social anthropology of one of its most stimulating writers and thinkers. Ruth Benedict was one of the many American anthropologists who took their early training at Columbia University under the late Franz Boas, and she remained attached to that University all her life, ending her days as the holder of a chair in the Anthropological Department.
