w e 2 Skinner, 3. F. AB, Hamilton, `26; Sc.D. '51; MA, Harvard, '30; Ph.D., '31. Psychology professor, research psychologist (behaviorist) of first-rank reputation. Chief intersts: conditionin~ and lan~ua`e. Published rTorks : "Behavior of Crganisms' ;"~a~,lden Two' --UtoDian novel; "3cience and Human Behavior". CONCLUSION: In a '48 review of "d'alden Two", Orville Prescott -aid... Kalden eliminates democracy and personal freedom ... Everyone is p,onditioned in everything.' He said that the fundamental fallacy of the book is that pojmr is entrusted to wn e ite. An H&K worker who is acquainted with Skinner is con- vinced that he would prove to be a lib rg l (in opinion, if not in active political participation). While she doubts that he is aggressively left-wing, she feels that his gondit~ioni.ng reflects a desire to to admi,nister, to tell and ~:~t others what's GRod for them. Cigarettes will be vierrby him as a sVjRtom~,tic condit-ion in a most unsymgwthetic complexion. (He is also noted for his excellent pioneering in teaching mach*Lnes.) Suchman, Edward A.
