ABSTRACT
In 1955, Kingsley Davis left Columbia University to assume a position as professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. The move was no doubt occasioned by his divorce from Jane Quinn and his marriage to Judith Blake. Kingsley Davis received a grant from the Ford Foundation to do comparative research on urbanization. With the funds from this grant he founded International Population and Urban Research (IPUR), a unit within the Institute of International Studies. Kingsley fall into a rage over the lack of progress his graduate student O. Andrew Collver had made on his dissertation. This incident with Andrew Collver thus provides another example of Kingsley first venting his anger and then afterward making every effort to see that his long-term goals would be accomplished. In December 1962, the Office of Public Information at the University decided to prepare a press release concerning the post-attack demography project. The press release was completed on December 28.
