Marquis Who's Who

It's being run by members of all of these secret societies.

And all you got to do is pick up a copy of Who's Who in America, a copy of the Congressional Biographical Statement, and just go down the list of names, and you will see it's all there, ladies and gentlemen.

How long will it take the American people to rise up in their might and demand our withdrawal from this communistic enterprise? I do not know.

But they are becoming more enlightened as the days pass.

She's released 12 albums and several singles.

And she's listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.

How about all of that? And in the middle or thereabouts, Sophia and I are going to do what I call a song fest.

She has sent me a handful of her best works.

All right, I have to skip a little bit here.

Tell me about this who's who business.

You're not only in who's who in America, you're in who's who in the world.

How did they contact you for this?

The records of her researches are to be found in a brief series of books, The Family, The Old-Fashioned Woman, and Fear and Conventionality.

Apparently they have wrung relatively little esteem from the learned, for I seldom encounter a reference to them, and Dr. Parsons herself is denied the very modest reward of mention in Who's Who in America.

Nevertheless, they are extremely instructive books, particularly Fear and Conventionality.

I know of no other work, indeed, which offers a better array of observations upon the powerful complex of assumptions, prejudices, instinctive reactions, racial emotions, and unbreakable vices of mind which enter so massively into the daily thinking of all of us.

It is first necessary to determine who are the leaders in every phase of activity in this country.

I have turned to Who's Who in America to answer this question.

This book has already been successfully used in several sociological studies and has great value as a starting point for such researches.

The editor doubtless tries to be as impartial and comprehensive as possible, but its greatest value to one who wishes to answer a question similar to the present discussion is that here he finds a list of names prepared by someone else without any idea or bias in relation to the investigator's present problem.

If he will stop for a moment and think, he will see that the very objection he raises only argues in the other direction from what he supposes.

If, for instance, I find a marked correlation between city birth and more or less notable subsequent achievement drawn from an imperfect list, the correlation would be even higher were the list of names ideally perfect.

In Who's Who in America, the birthplaces are given in nearly every instance, although they seldom enable one to differentiate between farm or village.

This difficulty can, however, be overcome by making the question one of urban as against non-urban nativity.

It runs in the blood.

Who's who in America is long on the arts and on learning and comparatively weak in business and the professions.

Now, someone who has taken the trouble has found that more persons mentioned in Who's Who by the thousand of the population were born in Massachusetts than in any other state, but that Massachusetts is crowded closely by California with the rest nowhere.

Along the Color Line, Social Uplift.

An enterprising student has discovered the names of 33 colored men in the 1911 edition of Who's Who in America.

Kansas City, Missouri has organized a society for the betterment of Negroes in that city.

The Reverend Cyrus Townsend Brady is the leading spirit.

No record on Bromberg.

But for Guttmacher, the Bureau's suggestion was to consult Who's Who in America.

Then the indices were searched again, and this time for Stubblefield, Taller, and Holbrook.

No information record recorded.
