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

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

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."
