Lester Frank Ward (June 18, 1841 – April 18, 1913) was an American botanist, paleontologist, and sociologist.[1] The first president of the American Sociological Association, Ward has been characterized as a pioneering figure in American sociology.[2] His 1883 work Dynamic Sociology was influential in establishing sociology as a distinct field in the United States.[3] However, despite its initial impact his work was quickly sidelined during the institutionalization and development of American sociology.[4]
