  • Gaddis Smith Yale and the Vietnam
    Yale and the Vietnam War Page 1 of 21 Presented at the 2nd Meeting of the 1999-2000 Year October 19,1999 Gaddis Smith Yale and the Vietnam War A DRAFT NOT TO BE QUOTED OR CITED WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S PERMISSION In 1919 President Arthur Twining Hadley said that the men of Yale who had died in the Great War were the fortunate ones, for they had fulfilled the ultimate purpose of the University in service to the nation. A generation later, on the eve of the entry of the United States into World War II, faculty, students, and alumni were as divided on the issue of isolation or intervention as were the American people and Congress. But President Charles Seymour took sides on behalf of the University. He deplored student isolationism and committed Yale to support all measures necessary to defeat Nazi Germany. There was no place in his mind for personal or institutional neutrality. Pearl Harbor, of course, ended all debate. Yale became a military camp until 1945. The Korean War was relatively brief and had less impact than the Yale administration feared, but once again hardly anyone suggested institutional neutrality in that conflict or more broadly in the Cold War. In 1951 President A. Whitney Griswold defended liberal education as essential preparation for lieutenants who knew why they were fighting.1 Until the mid-1960s the Cold War consensus reigned in the classroom, the research and writing of faculty concerned with international relations, and in the minds of almost everyone connected with Yale. This was the university of Henry L Stimson's commitment to "active duty in peace and war", of Secretary of State Dean Acheson who was "present at the creation" of American world power, and of the pioneer geopolitical "realist" Professor Nicholas Spykman.

Scott identifies as a practising Buddhist with a strong interest in Catholic theology and his poetry explores key ideas associated with both systems of belief. I argue that Scott formally employs the number three in diverse ways within the trilogy and that this formula (as in the poetic tercet form) constructs a poesis that is structured on the ruins of a type of Dantean Hell.

  • The Inquiry and the Paris Peace Conference: American Preparations for Peace and the Future of Hungary, 1917-1920
    Tibor Glant* THE INQUIRY AND THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE: AMERICAN PREPARATIONS FOR PEACE AND THE FUTURE OF HUNGARY, 1917-1920 1 Introduction At the outbreak of the First World War no one thought that four years later the Central Powers would ask for a ceasefi re upon the peace plans of the US President announced publicly, and that Wilson would emerge as a key fi gure in international politics by 1919. America’s entry into the war and later the 14 Points that reached mythical signifi cance owing to US government propaganda gave new hope for the peoples of Europe suffering from the war. The key element of Wilsons’ rhetoric was the doctrine of the “war to end all wars”, the “national self-determination”, and a “just” and “scientifi c peace”. This “science for peace” was designed to ensure the fairness of the “new world order” promised by Wilson. Wilson instructed a committee comprised of mostly American east coast experts, the Inquiry, to map out this “scientifi c peace”. The members of the committee were not only active in the preparation for peace but took part in the peace-making process in Paris as well. They served in the Territorial, Economic, and Political Intelligence Unit of the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace (hereafter ACNP), as well as in territorial committees and as members of the various diplomatic and relief American missions stationed to the Danube Basin. The Inquiry was a typical Wilsonian institution. While French, British, Italian, and Japanese (and later Hungarian) preparations for peace primarily were carried out by foreign affairs experts, the American work was supervised by the President’s unoffi cial chief * Associate professor – University of Debrecen, North American Department, [email protected].

  • The Idea of Danubian Federation in Britisch and American Tought During WW I
    1 The Idea of a Danubian Federation in British and American Thought during World War I * Acta Historica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 1988, [1989] 2-3. England and the United States, two obviously successful and powerful countries, the homes of noble ideas, possessing well-working political and economic systems, have always had a strong appeal throughout the Danubian lands, and especially in Hungary. 1 Since the central region of Europe has never held much importance for the two English-speaking countries, one shouldn't be surprised that the echo of this appeal has always been rather faint, sparse, and sympathy was discernible only on rare occasions, resulting from dramatic events. 2 Before the first world war Britain as a great power and the traditional friend of the Habsburg Empire was not entirely indifferent to the conditions in what she regarded as the arch of the European state system. Throughout the 19th century a number of enterprising British travellers and interested observers wrote extensively (and, on the whole, reliably) on the Danubian monarchy and her peoples, usually from a viewpoint of sympathetic understanding.-3 These works came to be the main sources of information for the American public, too, largely by default. The traditionally favourable image of Austria-Hungary was destroyed by the world war: the ally of the German enemy was found to be almost as oppressive and aggressive as her partner, and soon the century-old tradition of insisting on the existence of a Central European great power was abandoned. In the spring of 1918 a policy of subversion and dissolution was launched, in the name of liberating the "oppressed" Slav and other nationalities.

  • The Ideological Origins of American Studies at Yale Michael Holzman
    The Ideological Origins of American Studies at Yale Michael Holzman "It is well in all cases to go on the old CE axiom: 'Once an agent, always an agent—for someone."' Norman Holmes PearsonC?)1 The following pages review the efforts at Yale in the middle decades of the twentieth century to establish American studies as a subject of academic research and teaching; the efforts of the various deans, provosts, and presidents of Yale to raise funds for the American Studies Program as a component of Yale's budget (and to increase Yale's endowment by the same means); and the efforts of all of these, and others, such as William Robertson Coe, William F. Buckley, Jr., and, perhaps, Norman Holmes Pearson, to construct American studies as something beyond the study of American literature and history, as an enterprise that would be, among other things, an instrument for ideological struggle in what some among them termed the American crusade in the cold war, and what others among them saw as virtually a second Civil War. Much is now public that was concealed during the Cold War, enough, perhaps, that we might at least draft new accounts of various aspects of our times, some of which are likely to look quite different once information from the secret world characteristic of the period is factored into other, more well-known, narratives. One such would be the history of American studies from just before the second world war to the 1960s. That is in itself a complex subject. Here, we will choose just one or two aspects of the matter and the highly specific point of view of the Yale University Archives and the papers of Norman Holmes Pearson in the Beinecke Library.2 This is a narrow pair of New 0026-3079/99/4002-071$2.50/0 American Studies, 40:2 (Summer 1999): 71-99 71 72 Michael Holzman Haven apertures.3 Together they give a binocular perspective that may be unfamiliar.

  • For the Degree of MASTER of SCIENCE By
    370f A1.I THE TESCHEN QUESTION AT THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE, 1919-1920 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Thomazena pixon, A. B. Denton, Texas December, 1971 THE TESCHEN QUESTION AT THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE, 1919-1920 Dixon, Thomazena, The Teschen Question at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919-1920. Master of Science (History), December, 1971, 109 pp., 3 maps, bibliography, 52 titles. This study is an investigation of the negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919 to make a peace in the Duchy of Teschen Silesia 1919-1920. It is concerned with the principle of self-determination as it was applied to Central Eastern Europe in the aftermath of World War I. Moreover, this investigation seeks to explain the fixing of boundary lines in the Duchy of Teschen in the light of the diplomacy of the Allied Powers on the one hand and Poland and Czechoslovakia on the other. This study is an attempt to portray the overall difficulty involved in making a peace in idealistic terms. Most of the data for this investigation are found in the Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Paris Peace Conference, 191. This thirteen-volume work provided an account of the daily minutes of the Supreme War Council, the meetings of the Comissioners Plenipotentiary, and the correspondence of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace. The Lansing Paprs 191-120 also give an official correspondence of events concerning United States diplomaclyj in middle European Affairs.
