"Garry" Runciman

[John F Hall]

Sir Stephen 'Garry' Runciman, 3^rd Viscount Doxford, eminent sociologist and classicist, died on 10 December.  He is succeeded as 4^th Viscount by his son, Professor David Runciman, Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

He was the author of the influential book Relative Deprivation and Social Justice (RKP 1966) based on a national survey 1962-63 of the British adult population.  I have updated my page Relative Deprivation and Social Justice (https://surveyresearch.weebly.com/sn-28-relative-deprivation-and-social-justice-1962-63.html) to include links to his Wikipedia biography and to obituaries in The Guardian and Daily Telegraph.  The page also has details of my retrieval of his original raw data from multi-punched 80-column cards, amendments to 50-year old SPSS syntax and creation of SPSS *.sav and *.sps files, now deposited with the UK Data Service at Essex University.
