Introduction Paul Wallace Gates
Allan G. and Margaret Beattie Bogue
Whether dealing in the 1940s with canine invaders in his Cornell classrooms, awing Wisconsin graduate students with the length of his working days during the late 1960s, or rising on numerous occasions across the years to dispute a point at learned society meetings, Paul Wallace Gates has thoroughly enjoyed the scholar's life through his career. After undergraduate study at Colby College in Maine and initial graduate training at Clark University in Massachusetts, and the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Gates completed the doctorate in history at Harvard University in 1930. He accepted his first full-time teaching position at Bucknell University that same year and, during the next, his first scholarly publications appeared. On these foundations, Gates built a scholarly career that led him briefly to adjunct appointments at the Brookings Institution and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and thereafter to Cornell University, where he taught until his retirement in 1970. During that time, he served occasionally as a visiting professor at other major institutions. Gates has been an indefatigable researcher; he has authored ten books or monographs, edited four volumes, and written seventy-five articles, chapters and introductions, pamphlets, and other miscellaneous publications.
