In addition, ASA member Gale Largey will premiere his newest documentary on the life of Lester Ward, sociologist and the first President of the American Sociological Society in 1906, at the August 2005 Centennial Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. Largey has also produced a 19-minute video on the founding of the Society and the men and women who have served as leaders through the years.
