The American Statistician | 1966

Introduction and Summary 1. It is a commonplace of the statistical design of experiments that the hypotheses to be tested should be formulated before examining the data that are to be used to test them. Even in experimental situations, this is sometimes not possible, and in the last decade or so some progress has been made toward the development of more flexible testing procedures which allow the data to be dredged for hypotheses in certain ways. In survey analysis, which is commonly exploratory, it is rare for precise hypotheses to be formulable independently of the data. It follows that normally no precise probabilistic interpretations can validly be given to relationships found among the survey variables. In practice, this has not prevented survey practitioners from reporting probability levels as if they were precisely meaningful. Most investigators are so accustomed to making probability statements that a survey report looks naked without them, but we fear that many survey reports are wearing the Emperors clothes. This paper offers a classification of data-dredging procedures and some comments on their use.
Social Problems | 1962

The college must be the place par excellence in our society for the highest intellectual motivation and achievement. . The college, however, is more than a mind factory. College students do not live and work in isolation but in a social milieu in which their emotions, their morals, and their social outlooks are influenced at least as much by their fellows and their environment as by the courses of instruction which they take. The college, therefore, does not face a choice between intellectual excellence and the education of the whole student. It is not a question of either-or but of both together.1
