Hans Gerth, his mentor


Hans H. Gerth in Japan in 1962. Gerth was the major intellectual influence on Arthur J. Vidich as well as Joseph Bensman. Vidich used the intellectual insights he gained from Gerth throughout his intellectual career. Both he and Bensman were the direct lineal descendants of Gerth's intellectual legacy - along with numerous other sociologists who studied at the University of Wisconsin in the 1930s and 1940s.
