ABSTRACT
During the years 1935 to 1937 Eubank was occupied with completing the material he needed for his “makers of sociology” book, and plunged into an enormous correspondence, including national sociological organizations and sociologists all over the world, sending out two questionnaires. Eubank and Arnost Blaha had remained in correspondence, and their relationship soon extended to both families, and especially to Antonin Obrdlik, who was married to Blaha’s daughter, Sonia. Through them Eubank had developed a particular interest in Czechoslovakia and its political fate. Eubank’s notes showed how deeply impressed he was by the elderly Franz Oppenheimer and his sixteen-year-old daughter Renate. The notes also showed how much this deeply isolated German scholar had enjoyed the visit of his American colleague. Shortly after this visit of July 10, 1934, Oppenheimer invited Eubank to see them again in Engelberg, Switzerland, where he took part in a meeting for a Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
