Dayl Author. of Ne Press Release On Troubleso If you have trouble with a cc-qrtain sunject, just wait until you graduate and Irite a book< about it, Dr. 11. H. Quint, profes. sor of history and author of the latest University Press publica. tion advises. Dr. Quint was looking over some of the quiz papcrs of his under. graduate days at Yale, which he says he kept because of the pack rat instinct of all college profes. sors, recently. As he went through them he found that mosi had grades of "A" or "B" plus One that he came across, however was marked "C." The subject of that paper? Socialism. The title of his new book ? The forging of American socialism. The book, subtitled, "Origins of the Modern Movement,' is an at tempt to trace the growth of Socialism in America from the time of the 1886 Haymarket Riot to the formation of the Socialist Party of America in 1901, accord ing to Dr. Quint. The book shows that the socialist movcment in the United States was not strictly of European origin, as is com monly believed, but also had dis tinct American origins. The native radical tradition of America distinctly tempered and in some cases changed completely the socialism brought by immigrants from Europe. Another common theory about American socialism is exploded in Dr. Quint's hook. Contrary to popular opinion, Nvw York City did not dlominate the early social ist movement. Socialism wvas equally as strong in the small town, rural areas of the middle west. Dr. Quint first became in terestedl in socialism while study ing under Professor Ralph Gabriel at Yale. lie observed that there were no recent histories of Amer ican Socialism since' 1903 when New York socialist leader Morris Hillquit wvrote a pioneer study. The social ferment of the thirties interested Dr. Quint in socialism and other radical ideologies, and it Wp no surprise that he selected Edwvard Bellamy, noted American Utopian Socialist, as thec subject KSK Elects Nine New Members Kappa Sigma Kappa, local honorary fraternity, has selected nine newv members, announced Izzy Lourie, p)resident of the organiza tion. The newv memibers are ,Jack Cantey of Columbia, Neuland Col lier of Norfolk, Va., Bob Hamilton of Birmingham, Ala., Hill Hawvley of Pitytsburgh, Pa., Sam Hilborn of Portland, Me., Stanley Krugman of Columbia, Vie Laurie of Colum hia, John Speer of Anderson, and Bill Tod of Pittsburgh, Pa. o Be I w University Says Write me Subject for his M. A. thesis at Stanford. Some of thc, material used in the book was taken from his doctoral thesis at Johns Hopkins. The bulk of the data was obtained from newspapers and magazines, however. The book was -written during the fall and winter of 1951-'52. The Faculty Research Council of the University and the Social Science Research Council awarded him grants to expedite the com pletion of the book. Dr. Quint feels that thCre is no socialist threat to the United States now. "Literally, no one raises the demand for public ownership of means of production and distribution, which is the classic war cry of socialists," he said. Militating against socialism in America are six factors, he pointed out. (1) The laboring class is more wage conscious than class conscious. (2) Wars have destroyc,d the Socialist party. (3) Socialists are worn out from fighting communists. (4) Older parties have robbed them of im-: portant issues. (5) The two-partyI tradition in American politics. (6) Institutional factors such as: schools, churches, etc. which fight socialism. Dr. Quint is now working on a ne'w book, a biography o,f Gaylord Wilshire, the socialist millionaire for wvhom Wilshire Boulevard was namedl. Hie hopes to have it ready for publication by 1957.
