*of her studies Young wrote to Luther Bernard, ca 1929:

"Briefly, Dean Small's theories of The Social Process and The Social Science helped me to understand social situations from the standpoint of social theory. Dr. Burgess helped me to see the significance of sociological concepts in the analysis of social phenomena. From Dr. Thomas I gained the significance of ethnological material and of monographic studies of social groups. Dr. Park pointed out to me that social situations do not grow in a vacuum, that it is necessary to understand the social, economic and the whole cultural background of individuals and groups in order to understand their reaction patterns. He strongly emphasized that Sociology is a system of research."
