BAYARD 93 In this issue This issue marks the fiftieth anniversary year of Utah Historical Quarterly. First published in 1928, the Quarterly has undergone several changes in format and size but has remained constant in its commitment to scholarly excellence, variety, and readability. As the present issue illustrates, those qualities are still paramount after a half-century. Centered in this issue is a biographical sketch of J. Cecil Alter, founding editor of Utah Historical Quarterly. A man of many interests, many talents, and great energy, he nurtured the journal through its precarious first years, defined its standards, and donated his breadth of vision to it. This and the remaining three issues of the 1978 volume year are specially dedicated to him. The two preceding articles deal with polygamy and explore new dimensions to a sensitive but perpetual issue in LJtah history. The two succeeding articles reflect equal verve. One probes the difficult question of Blacks in Mor-mondom, and, by looking at the broader outline of U.S. social history, yields some enlightening hypotheses; the other challenges the revisionist view of one of Mormonism's most controversial and elusive personalities. Taken singly or together, the articles demonstrate that new methods of analysis, new data, and a spirit of dispassionate inquiry will produce a more profound understanding of complex historical problems. They comprise a fitting tribute to the memory of our guest of honor. |
