CJP writes, “Barack Obama wants you to know he just wants everybody to get along, telling you in his ads and phone scripts that ‘he has a lifelong record of bringing people together – both Republicans and Democrats – to get things done for people.’”
“…for the people.” Whenever I hear that expression, it makes me laugh! It reminds me of a political science professor of mine at Northwestern in the early 1960s, William Montgomery McGovern. He would always say, “…for the PEE-PULLL!”, making fun of anyone who talked about helping the PEE-PULLL!
McGovern always filled the largest lecture hall at Northwestern because he never gave less than a “C”. There were a lot of jocks, pre-law students, and the best-looking sorority girls on campus in McGovern’s classes. In fact, because he taught so many classes, you could major in political science taking only McGovern classes — and many did just that!
I only took one, a required course in modern political theory. I’m glad I did, not because of what I learned or didn’t learn, but because of the experience of seeing McGovern in the classroom. We used McGovern’s own textbook, “From Luther to Hitler.” That was all he required us to read.
McGovern resembled W.C. Fields. He was fat with messed up white hair, sticking up this way, sticking up that way. His face was always bright red. Sometimes he seemed drunk. He always wore a dark blue suit, a white shirt, and a tie. A couple of buttons on his shirt were usually undone by his protruding stomach, displaying his belly button, which you could see clearly as he walked around the front of the class room.
In fact, after he staggered into the classroom, he would pace slowly past the first row, telling coeds to cross their legs! Everyone always cracked up when he did this.
Sometimes he would join me when I was sitting at a booth in Scott Grill with other students. He was always polite and inquired how we were doing.
I graduated in 1963. McGovern died in 1964. I was sorry to see him go.
My recollections of McGovern do not do him justice. I only knew him for two years, near the end of his life. My adviser at Northwestern, who was chairman of the political science department, told me not to be quick in judging McGovern. “You have to take the full measure of a man before you form an opinion,” he cautioned me. And he was so right.
During the Christmas break in 1962, I read his book, “To Lasha in Disguise,” about his trip to Tibet in 1922-1923. He and a friend dyed their skin yellow, posing as Buddhist monks. They trekked through miles and miles of deep snow to get to Lasha, where they became the first white men to see the Dalai Lama. Traveling through the cold and deep snow gave McGovern a bulbous nose, like W.C. Fields’, for the rest of his life.
What follows is some biographical information from the Northwestern University Archives:
http://www.library.northwestern.edu/archives/findingaids/McGovern_William.pdf
“William Montgomery McGovern was born in New York City on September 28, 1897. Much of his
early life was spent in the Orient; he was graduated with the degree of soro, or doctor of divinity, from the Buddhist monastery of Nishi Hongwanji in Kyoto, Japan, in 1917. After subsequent studies at the Sorbonne and the University of Berlin, he received his D.Phil. from Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1922.
“From 1919 to 1927, McGovern held appointments as lecturer and/or examiner in Oriental Studies at the University of London. His service there was interrupted by two extended expeditions, one to Tibet in 1922-23, the second through the upper Amazon basin and Peru in 1925-26. On the former trip, after being refused entry into the country via normal channels, he disguised himself as a Tibetan coolie and succeeded in entering the capital city of Lhasa, one of the first Westerners to do so. This adventure was recounted in McGovern’s most popular work, ‘To Lhasa in Disguise.’ In 1927 McGovern returned to the United State as Assistant Curator of the Anthropology Department at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History.
“In 1929 he was appointed Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern; he was promoted to full professor in 1936 and held that position until his death in 1964, developing a reputation as an exceptionally entertaining classroom lecturer.”
William Montgomery McGovern — someone you should know.
