V0020 a Preliminary Guide to Twentieth Century Manuscripts In A PRELIMINARY GUIDE TO TWENTIETH CENTURY MANUSCRIPTS IN THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY LIBRARY INTRODUCTION A Preliminary Guide to the Manuscript Collection of the U.S. Military Academy Library was compiled by J. Thomas Russell in 1968. The 260 page guide, containing citations for manuscripts received before October of 1967, has not been updated since that time. A project is now underway to provide access to the great amount of manuscript material in the Special Collections Division by creating a new guide to the collections, beginning with twentieth century items. The following pages represent the second phase in the preparation of a guide to twentieth century manuscripts. Entries vary in length and detail, depending upon the amount of information presently available on each collection. The collections range in stage of organization from unprocessed to fully inventoried. The staff and faculty are encouraged to read the entries and use the guide. Your comments and suggestions are invited, and will be useful in preparing subsequent guides. Preliminary guides to nineteenth century and to eighteenth century materials will be prepared, and distributed to the staff and faculty over the next year or two. The final step in this ongoing project will be to combine all preliminary guides into one comprehensive guide. Procite software has been used because of its capability to utilize existing OCLC manuscript records and its potential to produce an indexable database. The guide will be updated periodically. The comments of those who use the manuscript collections for research will be continually welcomed. The guidance of Alan Aimone, Assistant Librarian for Special Collections, and Gladys Calvetti, Rare Book Curator and Cataloguer; and the assistance of Dawn Crumpler, Special Collections Technician, are gratefully acknowledged. Judith A. Sibley West Point Manuscript Librarian 16 November 1989 INTERPRETING PERSONAL NAME ENTRIES IN THE PRELIMINARY GUIDE TO TWENTIETH CENTURY MANUSCRIPTS IN THE U.S.MILITARY ACADEMY LIBRARY Many manuscript collections are attributable to United States Military Academy (USMA) graduates or former cadets. USMA and year following the birth and death dates of a personal name entry indicates an Academy graduate' and provides the year of graduation: USMA 1915 An "X" preceding USMA indicates a former cadet and the year the person would have graduated: X-USMA 1915 "Cullum" files, containing data on a USMA graduate's military career for use in the Register of Graduates and Former Cadets of the United States Military Academy, originally compiled by George Cullum, USMA 1833, are located in the Special Collections Division for selected years. A "Cullum number" has been assigned to each Academy graduate. This number has been included after the USMA class number in the Guide entries, because of its link to the biographical files and its unique identification of each USMA graduate: CU 5356 A typical entry for the papers of a USMA graduate would read: Bradley, Omar Nelson (1893-1981) USMA 1915, CU 5356 1 PRELIMINARY GUIDE TO 20TH CENTURY MANUSCRIPTS IN THE USMA LIBRARY 1.

    Interviewer: Good afternoon. Today is October 23, 2015, and I am here with Mr. Lou Gross at his home, and sir, thank you for having us down here today. Lou Gross: You’re welcome. Interviewer: Sir, would you please spell your last name for our transcriber? Lou Gross: G-R-O-S-S. Interviewer: Thank you, sir. Now sir, tell me a little bit about yourself, please. Tell me where you were born, when you were born, and what you did growing up. Lou Gross: I was born in Brooklyn in December of 1930. I grew up in a predominately Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn and went to Public School 122 and graduated when I was about 13. And went to Brooklyn Technical High School, where I studied electricity; and the electrical course then was a lot different than it is today. However, the power distribution and transmission creation is pretty much the same. I joined the National Guard. I graduated from high school in 1948, and won a competitive appointment to West Point. Interviewer: Yes sir. Lou Gross: And I entered the Academy in July of 1950. Interviewer: Yes sir. What did your folks do when you were growing up, sir? Lou Gross: My mother was a housewife. I had an older sister and a younger brother, both of whom are still alive, and my father worked in the garment industry. We lived in Brooklyn, and he would take the subway train into Manhattan every day and come home in the evening. Interviewer: Yes sir. It sounds like a pretty good childhood.

    The Life of the Mind: An Intellectual Biography of Richard Hofstadter Andrew Ronald Snodgrass Jesus College This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2018 Abstract The Life of the Mind: An Intellectual Biography of Richard Hofstadter Andrew Ronald Snodgrass Despite his death in 1970, Richard Hofstadter’s work continues to have an enduring influence in American political culture. Yet despite the continued and frequent use of his interpretations in public discourse, his reputation within historical scholarship remains, to a large degree, shaped by perceptions that were formed towards the end of his career. The narrative pervades of Hofstadter as the archetypal New York intellectual who rejected his youthful radicalism for political conservatism which, in turn, shaped his consensus vision of the past. These assessments reflect the biographical tendency to read a life and career backwards. From such a vantage point, Hofstadter’s work is viewed through the prism of his perceived final position. My dissertation challenges the accepted narrative by considering his writing in the context of the period of time in which it was written. In doing so, it is evident that his work belies attempts to reduce his scholarship to reflections of a shifting political standpoint. Whilst it is undoubted that Hofstadter’s historical and political view changed through time, there was a remarkable consistency to his thought. Throughout his career, his writing and lectures were suffused with a sense of the contingency of truth. It was the search for new uncertainties rather than the capture of truth which was central to his work.
