In 1904, with the publication of A History of Matrimonial Institutions, George Elliott H?ward became an internationally recognized expert on ~amage and family. Howard's work marked the start of serious sociological studr of mamage and family at the University of Nebraska, a tradition that contmues to the present day. This paper introduces Howard's theoretical perspective on marriage as a social institution, locates his work within a new wave of empirically rigorous and intellectually robust American soclology, and notes Howard's practical focus as a sociological spokesperson on the divorce question."
