Description
The papers in this collection derive from
Jacoby's activities both as a teacher and as a citizen acting in the cause of
reform.
Background
Harold S. Jacoby (1907-2000) was a Professor of Sociology at the
University of the Pacific (1933-62, 1968-76) and Dean of the College of the
Pacific (1962-68). Jacoby was also a memeber of the staff of the Tule Lake
Relocation Center in California (1942), The Japanese-American Resettlement
Program in Chicago (1943), and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Program in the Middle East (1944). During the 1950s and 60s Jacoby was often
involved in community affairs of Stockton, California. He regularly sent his
students into the community to analyze and write about its institutions and
structure. Jacoby himself completed a census analysis project (1950) that later
formed the basis for Stockton school desegregation. He also served on a Mayor's
Cross-town Freeway Relocation Committee (1967).
