Abstract
The contest is readily recognizable as a recurrent theme in the sociology of knowledge: it is David versus Goliath; the pink-cheeked country lad against the city slicker; it is reason and common sense in opposition to sophism and scholasticism in their contemporary guise. (Shubert, 1950, p. 550)
