Harvey Warren Zorbaugh (September 20, 1896 – January 21, 1965) was Professor of Educational Sociology, at New York University. he was born in East Cleveland, Ohio and educated in sociology at the University of Chicago. He married Geraldine Elizabeth Bone on September 7, 1929, and they had two children: a son, Harvey Jr., and a daughter, Harriet. His classic text, first published in 1929, was ''The Gold Coast'', a book based on his PhD thesis completed under the direction of Robert E. Park at the University of Chicago. In the late 1940s, Dr. Zorbaugh also hosted one of the first game shows on American TV. Titled ''Play the Game'', the show aired from September 24, 1946 to December 17, 1946 (DuMont, primetime) and from August 20, 1948 to November 6, 1948 (ABC, primetime). Also during the 1940s, he published some sociological comments about the comic book craze then prevalent among young Americans.〔Harvey Zorbaugh, ''Adult America's Interest in the Comics: The Reading of, and Attitudes toward the Comic, as Revealed by the Study of a Sample of the Urban Adult Population,'' New York: New York University, 1949〕 :"It is time the amazing cultural phenomenon of the growth of the comics is subjected to dispassionate scrutiny. Somewhere between vituperation and complacency must be found a road to the understanding and use of this great new medium of communication and social influence. For the comics are here to stay."〔Harvey W Zorbaugh, ''What adults think of comics as reading for children.'' Journal of Educational Sociology, Vol. 23, No. 4, (Dec., 1949), pp.225-235〕 Zorbaugh's primary interest in urban sociology concerned the causes and effects of social and geographical segregation within the city and the issues created by the tensions between the need for social and community cohesion and those boundaries that inevitably emerge between different social groups rooted in geography, race and economic status. Consequently he was interested in the fluid changes in city life and how any boundaries we see are always transient, unstable and changing. He spent the bulk of his career on the faculty of New York University becoming a leading specialist in the social adjustment of gifted children. He worked with clinics, committees and other public services around the problems of children and was an outspoken opponent of racial prejudice in public schools.〔Lin & Mele, Editors's intro p.84〕 ==Publications== *1926: ''The Natural Areas of the City'' *1929: ''Delinquency Areas'', with Shaw, Clifford R., Henry D.
