Franklin Henry Giddings graduated from Union College with a degree in Engineering, but later turned to Sociology for his life's work, teaching primarily at Columbia University as the first full time Sociology professor in the U.S. His ideas and research were pioneering in the field; he was famous for having written the first Sociology textbook in the U.S., according to this webpage about him, taken from the Union College website.
