  • Eugene Field's Years As. a Chicago Journalist (1883-1895)
    EUGENE FIELD'S YEARS AS. A CHICAGO JOURNALIST (1883-1895) Thesis for the Degree of M. A. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY PATRICIA LILLIAN WALKER 1969 ABSTRACT EUGENE FIELD'S YEARS AS A CHICAGO JOURNALIST (1883-1895) by Patricia Lillian Walker This is a study of the historical importance and contributions of Eugene Field to the era of Chicago jour- nalism that produced such journalists and literary figures as George Ade,rFinley Peter Dunne, Theodore Dreiser, and later Carl Sandburg and Edgar Lee Masters, and such edi- tors as Melville Stone, Slason Thompson, and Wilbur Storey. Field's quick fame and definition as a children's poet has obscured his contributions as a humorist and journalist, his life-time occupation. This study re-examines Eugene Field in light of his career in journalism which reached its greatest height and importance as editorial columnist for the Chicago Daily News. It is based on the newspaper files of the Chicago Daily News, biographies, literary criticisms, and other sources of the period, and on pri- vate papers and special collections relating to Field's acquaintances. Accepted by the faculty of the School of Journalism, College of Communications Arts, Michigan State University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree.

  • The Problem with Classroom Use of Upton Sinclair's the Jungle
    The Problem with Classroom Use of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle Louise Carroll Wade There is no doubt that The Jungle helped shape American political history. Sinclair wrote it to call attention to the plight of Chicago packinghouse workers who had just lost a strike against the Beef Trust. The novel appeared in February 1906, was shrewdly promoted by both author and publisher, and quickly became a best seller. Its socialist message, however, was lost in the uproar over the relatively brief but nauseatingly graphic descriptions of packinghouse "crimes" and "swindles."1 The public's visceral reaction led Senator Albert Beveridge of Indiana to call for more extensive federal regulation of meat packing and forced Congress to pay attention to pending legislation that would set government standards for food and beverages. President Theodore Roosevelt sent two sets of investigators to Chicago and played a major role in securing congressional approval of Beveridge's measure. When the President signed this Meat Inspec­ tion Act and also the Food and Drugs Act in June, he graciously acknowledged Beveridge's help but said nothing about the famous novel or its author.2 Teachers of American history and American studies have been much kinder to Sinclair. Most consider him a muckraker because the public^responded so decisively to his accounts of rats scurrying over the meat and going into the hoppers or workers falling into vats and becoming part of Durham's lard. Many embrace The Jungle as a reasonably trustworthy source of information on urban immigrant industrial life at the turn of the century.
