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.

Seventh public hearing of the National Commission on
Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
---------------- Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao
http://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.

Some of the endorsed candidates share the distinction of
having volunteered for Dean's unsuccessful bid for 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 team.

HOLYOKE, Mass. -- To drive through the mill towns and curling
country roads here is to journey into New England's
impeachment belt.
Three of this state's 10 House members have called for the
investigation and possible impeachment of President Bush.
Thirty miles north, residents in four Vermont villages voted
earlier this month at annual town meetings to buy more rock
salt, approve school budgets, and impeach the president for
lying about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and for
sanctioning torture.
