Mount Holyoke Mourns the Loss of Peter Viereck
Posted: May 16, 2006
Peter R. Viereck, professor emeritus of history
The Mount Holyoke community is mourning the loss of
one of its most distinguished members. Peter R.
Viereck, professor emeritus of history, passed away
Saturday, May 13, after a long illness. He was 89.
Born in New York City in 1916, Viereck is likely the
only American scholar who has received Guggenheim
Fellowships in both poetry and history. A member of
the Mount Holyoke College faculty since 1948, Viereck
retired in 1987 but continued through 1997 to teach
his survey of Russian history. The recipient of many
major awards, including a Pulitzer Prize for his first
book of poems, Terror and Decorum: Poems 1940-1948,
Viereck is the author of numerous articles, essays,
and books of history, cultural and political analysis,
and poetry. Among his books are Metapolitics: From the
Romantics to Hitler; Conservatism Revisited: The
Revolt against Revolt, 1815-1949; and Strict Wildness:
Discoveries in Poetry and History.
"Professor Viereck excelled in many fields. He was an
excellent poet, a superb historian, and an
extraordinary teacher who touched the lives of
generations of Mount Holyoke students," said Mount
Holyoke President Joanne V. Creighton. "He was a
profound thinker who helped influence the course of
American culture and political life. His contributions
will not be forgotten--they have become part of the
fabric of this institution. The Mount Holyoke
community joins together in mourning his loss."
Viereck was educated at the Horace Mann School for
Boys in New York City, graduated summa cum laude with
an S.B. from Harvard University in 1937, performed
graduate work at Christ Church, Oxford, as a Henry
Fellow, and received both his M.A. (1939) and Ph.D. in
history (1942) from Harvard. At Harvard he was one of
few students in history to receive both the Garrison
Prize for the best undergraduate verse and the Bowdoin
Medal for the best prose.
After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II in
Africa and Italy in the Psychological Warfare
Intelligence Branch, earning two battle stars, Viereck
taught German and tutored history and literature at
Harvard University. From 1946 to 1947, he was a member
of the Smith College faculty.
At Mount Holyoke College, Viereck was an associate
professor from 1948 to 1955 and professor of history
from 1955 to 1965. He held the Alumnae Foundation
Chair of Interpretive Studies from 1965 to 1979, and
from 1979 to 1987 was William R. Kenan, Jr., Chair of
History. Upon his retirement from Mount Holyoke in
1987, he was lauded for his imagination, grace,
discipline, and spirit and for teaching "generations
of Mount Holyoke students all that is humane about the
humanities." Around campus, Viereck was known during
his many years here for his lengthy debates about
politics and poetry in academic halls and his daily
swim at the College's Kendall Sports and Dance
Complex.
Viereck's interest in Soviet rebel writers made him
instrumental in bringing Nobel prize-winning poet
Joseph Brodsky to Mount Holyoke. In 1995 Viereck's
work Tide and Continuities opened with a rhymed
foreword by Brodsky.
Recently, Viereck was the subject of a lengthy profile
titled "The First Conservative: How Peter Viereck
Inspired--and Lost--a Movement" in the October 24,
2005 New Yorker magazine. The piece was written by
noted author and journalist Tom Reiss.
According to Reiss's article, Viereck was a seminal
figure in the birth of American conservatism in the
second half of the twentieth century, but he soon
moved apart from mainstream conservatism. For example,
he was a vocal critic of Senator Joseph McCarthy and
his excesses.?Reiss wrote:
"Viereck became a historian, specializing in modern
Russia, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. But, in a
series of books published during the late
nineteen-forties and early nineteen-fifties (which
have recently been reissued by Transaction), he
continued to develop his political philosophy. He gave
the conservative movement its name and, as the
historian George Nash, the author of The Conservative
Intellectual Movement in America, says, he 'helped
make conservatism a respectable word.' Moreover,
Viereck's belief that the United States could be a
moderating influence, confronting the forces that
threaten freedom and democracy without succumbing to
liberal optimism, became a central tenet of
conservative thought and, with the arrival of
neoconservatives in positions of power in Washington,
beginning in the nineteen-eighties, of American
foreign policy.
"Yet Viereck never became a rallying figure.
Conservatism remained largely an intellectual movement
during its first several decades, from the late
nineteen-forties to the late nineteen-seventies--a
loose affiliation of scholars and writers who had
little more in common than a hatred of liberalism and
Communism, which they increasingly saw as
indistinguishable. Even in this context, Viereck was
an anomaly, insisting on a moral distinction between
the moderate and the totalitarian left, and, as
conservatives began to attain political influence,
denouncing what he perceived as the movement's
demagogic tendencies."
Viereck is survived by his wife, Betty Falkenberg
Viereck; his son, John Alexis Viereck; his daughter,
Valerie Viereck Gibbs; three ?grandchildren, Sophia
Gibbs Kim, Stephanie Viereck Gibbs Kamath, and
Jonathan Lowell Gibbs; and his great-grandson, Micah
Kim. Viereck was predeceased by his first wife and
mother of his children, Anya de Markov.
The date of an on-campus memorial service will be
announced.
The family invites written remembrances about Dr.
Viereck for presentation at the service; these can be
mailed to the Office of the President, Mount Holyoke
College, 50 College St., South Hadley, MA 01075.

Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao
www.iraqtimeline.com/bushcab.html
Chao's family, which moved to Taiwan in 1949 to flee
the Maoist revolution, is closely tied to two of
China's most powerful business families, the Tungs and
the Hsuis, both particularly influential in Hong Kong.
In 1958, her father came to the US, not "with
nothing," as she likes to tell audiences, but as an
assistant to a Tung shipping company. She is a
beneficiary of the 1964 National Civil Rights Act, as
was her father, who immediately opened a shipping
company called Formost. (Chao is known as a vocal
opponent of the 1991 Civil Rights Act.) As the US
moved to normalize relations with China, the Chaos
profited, moving to toney Westchester County and
sending Elaine to one of America's most exclusive
colleges, Mount Holyoke. (Persistent rumors of
plagarism from her Mount Holyoke days have dogged Chao
for years; the school refuses to discuss the matter,
but Chao's name does not appear in the 1975
commencement program, the year that she graduated.)
After attending Harvard Business School, she went to
work for Gulf Oil, which had a Taiwan-based
subsidiary, and then for Citicorp. Chao will lead the
new administration's fight to roll back overtime laws,
a proposal that, if enacted, would see police
officers, nurses, firefighters, and tens of millions
of American workers forced to work longer hours
without overtime benefits.

the White House, including Hynes, 37, a mother of four
from Stamford.... A New Haven native who graduated
from Mount Holyoke College and worked for Bayer
Pharmaceuticals Corp. as a molecular biologist, Hynes
singled out three issues to anchor her campaign
platform -- campaign finance reform, universal
preschool and doing more to solve the state's
transportation problems. The political newcomer hopes
to increase the size of her war chest from a "couple
of thousand" dollars to $20,000 over the course of the
race, enlisting the help of Dean's brother, a
Fairfield resident, as a member of her fund-raising

John W. Gardner
John W. Gardner, 89,
Founder of Common Cause and Adviser to Presidents,
Dies
John W. Gardner, an eloquent voice for citizen
participation who founded the Common Cause lobby,
championed campaign finance reform and introduced
Medicare as secretary of health, education and welfare
in the heyday of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great
Society, died Saturday at his home on the campus of
Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. He was 89....
In the late 1930's, Mr. Gardner taught psychology at
the Connecticut College for women in New London and
Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. He worked
briefly for the Federal Communications Commission in
1942, then joined the Marine Corps. During World War
II, he was assigned in Europe to the Office of
Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central
Intelligence Agency, and left the service in 1946 as a
captain. After the war, he went to work for the
Carnegie Corporation of New York, one of the nation's
oldest private philanthropic foundations, whose grants
to colleges and research and educational institutions
helped shape educational policies in America.
... Mr. Gardner was the only Republican in the Johnson
cabinet. The Democratic-dominated 89th Congress had
passed no fewer than 189 major domestic laws, with
many falling under Mr. Gardner's sprawling agency,
which touched the lives of almost every American, from
preschoolers to the elderly. With characteristic wit,
Mr. Gardner described his mission as "a series of
great opportunities disguised as insoluble
problems."...
JOHN GARDNER CIA MIND CONTROL HISTORY
FROM THE SEARCH FOR THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/lsd/marks1.htm
ore than 30 years after the war, Murray remains modest
in his claims for the assessment system, saying that
it was only an aid in weeding out the "horrors" among
OSS candidates. Nevertheless, the secret agency's
leaders believed in its results, and Murray's system
became a fixture in OSS, testing Americans and foreign
agents alike. Some of Murray's young behavioral
scientists, like John Gardner,[9] would go on to
become prominent in public affairs, and, more
importantly, the OSS assessment program would be
recognized as a milestone in American psychology. It
was the first systematic effort to evaluate an
individual's personality in order to predict his
future behavior. After the war, personality assessment
would become a new field in itself, and some of
Murray's assistants would go on to establish OSS-like
systems at large corporations, starting with AT&T.
They also would set up study programs at universities,
beginning with the University of California at
Berkeley.[10] As would happen repeatedly with the
CIA's mind-control research, OSS was years ahead of
public developments in behavioral theory and
application.
FOOTNOTE 9: Gardner, a psychologist teaching at Mount
Holyoke College, helped Murray set up the original
program and went on to open the West Coast OSS
assessment site at a converted beach club in San Juan
Capistrano. After the war, he would become Secretary
of HEW in the Johnson administration and founder of
Common Cause.
