A brief mimeographed questionnaire to determine the students' opinions of the relative inborn ability of different races and nationalities was given at the beginning and at the end of a course in racial sociology. The results showed that men trained in the social sciences academically insist that human beings must be judged on their individual merits and must not be brushed aside as inferior because their skin is dark or their hair kinky, but in their personal relations with members of other races show that their academic preachings are no more than a lip service to logic.
