 Arthur
D. Kaledin, Professor Emeritus, of History and American Studies, received
his Ph.D. in 1965 from Harvard University. Professor Kaledin
is finishing a book, Tocqueville and His America. He
is also working on a collection of essays on Jefferson and
his time. Another major project in process has grown out of
his many years of teaching and studying the cultural history
of 20th century America. It examines the many dimensions of
American culture (popular, elite, folk, literary, regional,
ethnic, technical) with an emphasis on how these have been,
and are now, reflected in the cultural life of the American
university. The main questions it deals with are: what has
the cultural function of the American University been in the
20th century; what has it been thought to be; and what should
it be?
