Lester Frank Ward was a prominent American botanist, paleontologist, and sociologist who served as the first president of the American Sociological Association. He is recognized as a trailblazer in the field of American sociology, with his notable work “Dynamic Sociology,” published in 1883, playing a crucial role in establishing sociology as a distinct discipline in the United States. However, despite his significant contributions, Ward’s work eventually faced marginalization as American sociology underwent institutionalization and further development.
