Abstract / Summary: Seven pages, mostly typed with a written introduction and annotations, contain a transcription of a discussion among five or six parties -- identified only by initial but Malinowski presumably among them -- on the nature of culture as the central subject uniting many of the social sciences, as part of a seminar at Yale University. Topics include: the nature of race; primitive religion; distribution of wealth; family; and technological advancement. The title of the seminar is written on the back of the last page such that, when the packet of pages is folded in half, it stands at the top edge.
