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.
