The last formal address given by Wilfred Trotter, a few months before his death, was on the subject ‘Has the Intellect a function?’ His whole life gave the answer—Yes—for that rare personality was the very embodiment and outcome of intellectual training and self-control. An obituary notice of him written by a surgical colleague began with these words: ‘His death has deprived the world of one of the most contemplative minds that has ever been trained towards surgery. His penetrating intellect delighted in an impersonal activity of thought which had as raw material its own original observation of the workings of man’s mind and of the sources of their conduct. The main stream of his life ran always towards the pursuit of truth, and his interest in surgery was the joy of a fine intellect in the practice of a worthy handicraft.’ Surgery was his profession, and in it he rose to the highest mastery, becoming Sergeant Surgeon in turn to three successive Kings of England. Science gave him the test and aim of all that he regarded as good work, and the esteem of scientific men was the only honour that his ambition welcomed or would accept. Yet he made relatively few additions to that mass of verifiable knowledge which is comprised in science, and his memory will be honoured rather for the influence of his spirit and thought upon the minds of his generation.

The paper attempts to show that the sociological position of sociologists in Nigeria and their intellectual training is likely to give them a predisposition to accept a particular theoretical orientation. This is quantitative analysis based on Parsonian variables. It is argued that in the Nigerian context this approach has limitations which need to be recognised. An alternative theoretical orientation in terms of ‘subjective understanding’ and a ‘critical sociology’ is suggested and also the argument that if we are aware of the limitations of particular theories, we are more likely to be able to formulate an explanatory theory for Nigerian society. The argument is put forward that sociological theory in Europe and the United States developed in response to a situation of very rapid social change and that if one recognises the limitations on theories, developed in Europe, in the Nigerian context, perhaps the present situation of rapid social change in Nigeria will act as a similar stimulus to the development of sociological theory

In the introduction to his practical manual on the organisation of friendly societies published in 1851 J.H. James writes:The character of a nation may be pretty well ascertained from the general features of its public institutions. When these are directed to the morals, social and intellectual training of the human mind, and to the privilege of a cultivation of religious principles we may be sure of the existence of that high degree of buoyancy and healthiness of mental vigour, accompanied by great physical energy not to be found in any other condition of society.
