An early 20th century visitor to Harvard - especially if he or she were a forward-thinking person who believed that science was the best approach to solving society's problems - would probably be eager to climb to the top floor of Emerson Hall to see the newly installed Social Museum. The museum was the brainchild of Francis Greenwood Peabody, the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and founder of the Department of Social Ethics, which later became the Sociology Department. Peabody believed that just as biology students had the Museum of Comparative Zoology and anthropology students had the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, students who wanted to study social conditions needed a museum of their own, a place where they could contemplate the ills of modern life and the methods used to ameliorate them.
