The Survival of New England

Brought up in the Midwest, William B. Whiteside came to regard himself as a New Englander by adoption soon after traveling east to pursue his studies and begin his teaching career. In 1953 he joined the faculty of Bowdoin College. His interest in New England social history led to the publication of The Boston Y.M.C.A. and Community Need: A Century’s Evolution, 1851-1951.
