... that Burton Benedict switched from ornithology to anthropology at Harvard University, after meeting Pueblo Indians while serving with the United States Army Air Forces in World War II? "d. He attended Harvard University, intending to study his child-hood passion of ornithology, but left upon the outbreak of World War II. Benedict’s service in the U.S. Army Air Force took him to New Mexico, where his encounters with the local Pueblo Indians stimulated an interest in anthropology. Returning to Harvard, Benedict studied with Gregory Bateson and Florence Kluckhohn in the innovative interdisciplinary Department of Social Relations. In 1949, he earned his A.B. degree in anthropology," from: Deacon, Terence; Jacknis, Ira; Salvador, Mari Lyn. "In Memoriam: Burton Benedict". University of California Senate. Retrieved 12 June 2020.
