BiographyAlvin Johnson was born near Homer, Nebraska. He was educated at the University of Nebraska and Columbia (Ph.D., 1902). Afterwards, he was employed in various positions at Columbia, the University of Nebraska, the University of Texas, the University of Chicago, Stanford, and at Cornell after 1913.

He was also an editor of the massive Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences. He officially retired in December 1945, and died in 1971 in Upper Nyack, New York. Major publications
