Editors' Introduction: In 1968, former president of the American Sociological Association Kimball Young (1893–1972) gave a seminar at Arizona State University that was attended by both editors. The sessions were taped, for it was Young's intention to organize the tapes into a book that would document his life as a sociologist, a book to be called Man in Transition. From these materials a first chapter has emerged that is Young's account of his experiences as a graduate student at the University of Chicago (1917–1919) as the Chicago School was evolving in the Department of Sociology. The editors' intention is to preserve the candid flavor of Young's storytelling. This candor sometimes has resulted in controversy as he cast his critical eye upon members of the sociological profession, a profession he participated in with remarkable vigor and enthusiasm.

The Chicago School made a significant impact on the establishment of twentieth-century American sociology. From the time of its founding through the first five decades, its scholars had a lasting effect on both sociological thinking and social reform. Moreover, Chicagoans shaped the intellectual development of future sociologists through teaching and guiding the research of their students. This article reports the findings of a case study that examines the perceptions of scholars who were graduated from the University of Chicago. It presents their perceptions of how their training at Chicago compares with their own work with students, their own style of research, and their view of the discipline itself. An analysis of Chicagoans' accomplishments and contributions to sociology provide insight on whether or not the legacy of Chicago is being handed down to present generation academicians. Two primary sources of information are used to determine the intellectual trends and influences of the University of Chicago: (1) focused interviews with sociology faculty at Arizona State University who were graduated from Chicago after World War II, and (2) a survey of ASU sociology graduate students. Considered “typical” of many graduate-degree granting universities in the country, ASU provides a sufficient number of cases to trace the important aspects of Chicago School legacy.

As a graduate student at the University of Chicago in the mid-1950s, Edwin McClellan (1925–2009) translated into English the most famous novel of modern Japan, Kokoro (1914), by Natsume Sōseki. This essay tells the story of how the translation emerged from and appealed to a nascent neoliberal movement that was led by Friedrich Hayek (1899–1992), the Austrian economist who had been McClellan’s dissertation advisor.

I have taught courses on political philosophy at four schools — the University of Chicago, Rosary College, Idaho State University, and Northern Illinois University. I have had to adjust the style of my teaching to conform to the distinctive character of each school. But I have found that the most fundamental obstacles to winning the attention of students have been the same.Many students have begun my courses with four unfavorable preconceptions. They believe that political philosophy is too abstract. And for that reason they also believe that it has no application to contemporary political issues. Moreover, many students assume that since the classic texts of political thought are old, the ideas they contain must therefore be obsolete. And finally they think that political philosophy is ultimately subjective because no philosopher can prove his ideas to be absolutely true.

In this paper we outline a sport psychology service delivery program that has been implemented at Arizona State University. We feel this is a unique program in that it is housed within, and funded by, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The program has four major components: (a) an undergraduate psychological skills course, (b) psychological skills training programs for athletic teams and small groups of athletes, (c) individual psychological consultation for athletes, and (d) psychological skills seminars and consultations with coaches. Each of these components is explained in detail. In addition, information is presented regarding the future directions for the program.

This special issue was conceived during the 11th Annual Conference of Prognostic and Health Management Society’s Panel session on the September 25th at Scottsdale, AZ, USA. We would like to thank the panel members and their colleagues in their participation in this special issue focusing on engineered technologies for older adults. This work was partially funded by the NSF ERC seed grant from an interdisciplinary group of researchers from Iowa State University, Arizona State University, Georgia Tech, Florida State University, Chapman University and the University of California Irvine who are engaged in developing a large-scale grant proposal that will be focused on integrated technologies to promote resilient aging and reducing healthcare costs.The manuscripts exemplify our research focus and illustrates contributions in the fields of wearable smart sensors, sensor-data-fusion, machine learning and data mining, prediction and diagnosis, and electronic health records and databases - all in the context of prognostics and health management for human health and performance.We would like to thank the PHM Society for providing an opportunity to publish in their premier journal, and importantly, we are grateful for help of the Editor-in-Chief – Marcos Orchard, Ph.D. for his countless hours to edit and make it best possible of this special issue. Finally, we would like to express sincere appreciation to all the reviewers who have contributed their time and thoughtful feedback to making this special issue publication a success.
