THE IFC SCHOLARSHIP trop J.or the year for having the highe fiable because of photo trouble is History of 6 By Dr. Qul "If some of the investigators of alleged Communist spies And glerical 'fellow travelers' would take a weekend off from their labors and carefully read Dr. Quint's history of socialism from 1886 to 1901, it would greatly sharpen their understanding of the situation In 1953, and. it might save them from barking up a good many wrong trees." This is what a reviewer in the "Christian Century" had to say about Prof. H. H. Quint of the history department's book, "The Forging of American Socialism: Origins of the Modern Movement." I book was published by the Uffiversity Press last spring. Internationally Reviewed The book has been reviewed in newspapers and magazines throughout the nation and Eng land. It is a study of the impact of socialism on American thought and action from 1886 to 1901. It traces the movement from the Haymarket Riot to. the founding of the Socialist Party of America. "Historians interested in Amer ican Radicalism will be Indebted to the author for his solid spade work in the left-wing periodicals of 1886-19-1, his temperate judgment, and his attempt to connect the numerous movements of the half.. generation," says a reviewer in the "Mississippi Valley Review." The "Political Science Quarterly" said, "The great achievement of Prof. Quint in his study of Amer ican socialism is not merely that he has written an Impressive mono graph on his subject, but that he has succeeded in making clear that the history of American socialism USC Professor Wins Grants for Research O' Dr. Howard H. Quint, professor of history at the university and author of "The Forging of Amer ican Socialism" recently published by the University Press, has re ceived two research grants for the coming year. Dr. Quint has been awarded a research grant from the Ford Foundation, and one from the Social Science Research Council. This is the second time that he has been the recipient of a grant from>.fhe Social Science Research Council. In June Dr. Quint will leave for Los Angeles, Calif. where he will dewote the next year to research for a biography on the life of Gaylord Wilshire. Wilshire, after whom Los An geles's Wilshire Boulevard is named, was a world famous figure * as well as a real estate developer,, publisher, banker, and gold mine operator. Although Wilshire spent most of his life in Los Angeles, lays Dr. Quint, he kept in touch with world happenings and corres ponded with such notable figures as George Bernard Shaw and HI. G. Wells. Dr. Quint was awarded the grants on the basis of his book "The Forging of American Social iam iy is being presented to Johiny Joi it seholastie average of any fraterni lohnson, on the right. (Photo by L 5ocialism kt Reviewed is of major importance to stu dents in all fields of American history." Author Deficient in Marxism A reviewer in the "Weekly People" said, "The book sadly lacks what the author himself is deficient in-the requisite amount of Marxist knowledge with which to evaluate properly the informa tion he gathered together . . . The book does have one virtue. But the virtue exists in spite of the author. When the evidence (Spar ing as it is) presented in the book is stripped of Dr. Quint's purely literary and politically valueless commentaries, the true luminosity of the early movement (and to day's movement as well) becomes apparent." "The U. S. Quarterly Book Re view" says: "Displaying a keen insight into the historical process, Prof. Quint has produced here a scholarly study of American so cialism that will be warmly re ceived by students of American political and intellectual history." 17 Sponsors Presented at Military Ball The annual AFROTC Military Ball was held April 22 at the Township Auditorium from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Music for the dance was by Ray Anthony and his orchestra.
