These reminiscences are personal experiences and anecdotes drawn from my decades-long close relationship with William Henry Scott (1921–1933), an Episcopal lay missionary in the Philippines who was famous in that land as a world-class historian and scholar, a prominent voice against the Marcos dictatorship, and one of the most unusual personalities that could be imagined.

A study of reactions to an article by L. Q. Lacar, 'The Tirurays of Cotabato,' in the Manila Weekly Graphic of Oct 5, 1966. The Tirurays, a tribe of some 5,000 on the island of Mindanao, violently objected to the article. The article is analyzed to ascertain the reasons for this hostile reaction. Of the & of these 31 are found to be wrong. The reason is that the author wrote about the Tirurays who have remained in a primitive stage but obtained his information not by a field study but by talking to acculturated Tirurays, who gave him wrong information which he naively transcribed. 1.

An analysis of field res of a Philippino cult loosely based upon the Union Espiritista Cristiana Filipinas, a nat'l spiritist movement, focusing on (1) the background of spirit belief in the Philippines, & (2) the org & practices of the Espiritista cult. The cult is contrasted with Christian religion & modern medicine. It is concluded that in terms of function as well as structure, the soc system in which the Upi Espiritista cult operates offers little promise as a fruitful context for the analysis. The key to the cult's attraction may lie in its cultural dimension, not in the part it plays in the org of roles & collectivities through which Espiritistas interact soc'ly, but in the integration of beliefs & values in terms of which they interpret their experience & orient their soc behavior.
