Education

  • BS, Fordham College, 1959
  • Ph. D., University of Toronto, 1967

I came to the University of South Carolina in fall 1964 and stayed  until my retirement in 1994. 

Research Interests

After my retirement, I completed work on twelve volumes of Correspondence of William James. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and my retirement, I have devoted most of my time to pre-war Lithuanian history.   As yet unpublished is a biography of a Lithuanian socialist.   I am preparing a collection of my Lithuanian essays on the events of 1940-1941 which should be published this year.
