ABSTRACT
In the afternoon of June 30, 1934, Eubank visited Ginsberg at his house “Three Oaks” in Oxshott near London. Karl Mannheim, who at that time was lecturer at the London School of Economics, where Ginsberg was Martin White Professor of Sociology, called for Eubank in his hotel. Both went by train from Waterloo Station. In December of 1933 Howard Becker drew Eubank’s attention to Karl Mannheim, calling him “very objective in his thinking and decidedly a key man for information on sociology in Germany.” Louis Wirth, who was just poring over his translation of Mannheim’s Ideologic und Utopie, called Mannheim a “key man for information on sociology in Germany”. In the Eubank papers at the University of Chicago only the picture of Alexander Farquharson can be found. In the Eubank papers at the University of Cincinnati there is a text of Eubank’s account of his conversation with Farquharson, although there is no account of his visit to Le Play House.
