Prof. Nevins, two-time Pulitzer prize winner and author of several well-known historical works, spoke as guest of the Kansas Centennial History conference.
Prof. Nevins explained in his talk that while the rest of the United State has industrialized to the point where "ten or twelve per cent of its population can produce food for the whole people, Kansas is still a farming state."
Kansas, U.S. Careers Opposed, Nevins Says
The careers of Kansas and of the American nation have followed opposing paths, Prof. Alan Nevins of Columbia university told about 500 listeners in the Student Union ballroom Friday night.
"This divergence. gave birth to explosive forces in politics and government. The fierce cross-currents reshaped and hardened the Kansas character, already sharply individualized."
Calling Kansas the "unique Middle Western child of Puritanism," the speaker said that early Kansas "was largely dominated by the New England mind."
"Kansans were born fighters. In their rough frontier region, they had to be. The affrays of John
Brown. . and even the Civil war were transient ordeals, but droughts, blizzards, grasshoppers, Hessian fly, and twisters were abiding enemies."
Speaking of the widespread corruption of early Kansas politics, the historian said if these constant battles with nature, "toughened and refined some men, they corrupted others."
"Kansans always have tended, like their climate, to go to extremes," the historian said. He said Kansas became named as the "testing ground for every experiment in morals, politics, and social life."
Calling attention to the Kansas "preoccupation with materialism." Prof. Nevins said, "Until Kansans have a proper sense of beauty, the patriotism cannot reach the highest level. The Kansas past meant individualism, Puritanism, pugnacity, and materialism."
"IT'S TOASTED " to taste better!
WHY do thousands of college smokers from coast to coast prefer Luckies to all other brands?
BECAUSE Luckies taste better.
WHY do Luckies taste better?
BECAUSE Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And that tobacco is toasted to taste better. “It's Toasted”—the famous Lucky Strike process—brings fine tobacco to its peak of flavor . . . tones up this light, mild, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better—cleaner, fresher, smoother.
SO, Be Happy-Go Lucky. Enjoy the bettertasting cigarette-Lucky Strike.
LUCKIES TASTE BETTER Cleaner, Fresher, Smoother!
