In November, 1942, Louisiana Polytechnic Institute published
a bulletin which contains two essays by members of its Depart-
ment of Social Science. One essay, twenty-eight pages long,
by Professor Garnie W. McGinty, is a discussion of the economic
and political philosophy of Edward Douglass White, Jr. Pro-
fessor McGinty, a native son of Louisiana, is interested in
the history of his state and of the whole South and dis-
plays his interest in this essay by a careful study of an-
other native son of Louisiana who through his various
positions and finally as Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court brought distinction to the profession and to
his state. As Dr. Claybrook Cottingham, president of Louisiana
Polytechnic Institute well says in the foreword, this essay
"should be of special interest to Louisianians." Dr. J. O. Van
Hook's essay is twenty-three pages long and is entitled, "The
Genesis of the War in the Pacific." "It is," to quote Dr. Cot-
tingham again, "particularly timely." I had the pleasure to
hear this able essay read before the History section of the
Southwestern Social Science Association in Dallas, Texas, April
4, 1942.
