Margaret Mead spoke at the YPU. Mead’s ethnographic research, in which she argued that sexual relations were shaped by local culture, greatly influenced second wave feminism. Much of the contemporary “nurture v. nature” debate owes a footnote to Mead—who would find herself in the camp of the former. The resolution for her debate at the YPU has, unfortunately, been lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/1d82f1b1-925f-425b-8226-31eab13d0c78/Screenshot+2024-08-08+152230.png History On November 17, 1952, Simon Gerson, a top leader of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), spoke at the YPU. Gerson had recently been indicted under the Smith Act, a law passed in 1940 that was used to prosecute Socialist Party leaders and other officials in the CPUSA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/a958218d-a26a-4209-a9ad-0f3e90edc3be/Screenshot+2024-08-08+152258.png History As detailed in the article excerpt above, Richard Nixon spurned the Yale Political Union multiple times throughout 1978 and 1979. Nixon, having resigned from office in 1974, was hesitant to speak for fear of protest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/c92f5bd7-62de-4ebf-b25f-60a61d6529ca/Screenshot+2024-08-08+152356.png History Above is the front page of The Political Forum, the now defunct journal of the Yale Political Union. This April 1979 edition detailed the YPU’s debate that week on divesting from apartheid South Africa. The debate would pit U.S. ambassador to the UN Allard Lowenstein for the affirmative versus South African ambassador to the United States Donald Sole in the negative. On the right was an article detailing potential CIA activity at Yale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/1ab66ae8-bfcb-463f-98ce-9961979c70a2/Screenshot+2024-08-08+152417.png History On April 6, 1984, the YPU held perhaps the largest event in its history: a Black Tie 50th Anniversary Party at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. The food budget alone was $20,000 ($125,000 today), the Whiffenpoofs performed, and the guests of honor, all former YPU members, included William Bundy (foreign affairs advisor to JFK and Johnson), Edwin Meese (Attorney General under Reagan), and William F. Buckley (National Review founder and Firing Line host). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/1436563b-caf1-4538-a892-466e9abfa71e/Screenshot+2024-08-08+152454.png History In 1972, noted public intellectual Gore Vidal visited the Union. Vidal would briefly describe his visit to the YPU in his 2004 book, Imperial America: “When I started my tour at the Yale Political Union, the audience was packed with hot-eyed neocons-to-be, though the phrase was not yet in use, as the inventors of neoconnery were still Trotskyists to a man or woman or even ‘Bell Fruit,’ trying to make it in New York publishing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/e20cac36-38b1-45f7-b70c-16ce7aca1d26/Screenshot+2024-08-08+152643.png History In this 1971 correspondence, John Kerry laments to YPU President Gary Christian that he cannot attend the YPU that semester. During his time at Yale, Kerry had been President of the YPU and the now extinct Liberal Party. Kerry, who served in the Navy from 1967 to 1978, came into the national spotlight with his anti-war activism in 1971—the year of this correspondence. Kerry has recently stepped down from his post as Biden’s top climate advisor to work on Biden’s reelection campaign. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669e6034a25509507a97fbf9/1723145489639-AXQ6MCAAO31UPST7289X/about_us_gallery-page-002%2B%25281%2529.jpg History President George H.W.
