Hicks Discusses Morris as Great Marxian Socialist

Hailing William Morris as "our one great man," Granville Hicks '23, fellow in American History, extolled the Marxian socialism of this post, craftsman and political crusader in a meeting of the Modern Language Group last night.

Mr. Hicks emphasized the importance of the work done by Morris in the Social Democratic Federation. Adopting an unpopular cause, he influenced many of his contemporaries although he won few disciples. Throughout his books there is strong practical middle class streak which keeps him from becoming a typical radical utopian and makes his doctrine a much more reasonable prediction of what has happened than Bellamy or his other contemporaries.
