From “Indexes to Independent Socialist Periodicals”, published by the Independent Socialist Press, Box 6332, Albany sta, Berkeley, Calif 94706, copyright 1969, 1970. This contains cumulative indexes for The New International 1934-1958, Anvil 1949-1960 and Student Partisan 1947-50 together with annual indexes for Labor Action 1949-1953 all compiled in 1969. Details and their introductions to the indexes are included in ETOL.
This magazine was launched by the Politics Club of the University of Chicago at a time when radical student activities were making a new beginning in the postwar period but no student movement had yet appeared on a national scale. In many ways the University of Chicago campus was to the late ’40s and ’50s was what C.C.N.Y. had been in the ’30s and Berkeley was going to be in the ’60s: the campus with the most activity of a “student movement" type. The focus of this activity was the Politics Club. Its relatively large membership was more heterogeneous than radical clubs had tended to be. It included socialists of various tendencies and even some liberals; but the largest single political current in the club was that of the youth group of the Independent Socialist League, called the Socialist Youth League. It was their views which gave the main political tone to Student Partisan.
A similar student magazine was launched in New York City in the fall of 1949: see the introductory note to the Anvil index in this volume. The two magazines were merged the following year, and the independent existence of Student Partisan came to an end after nine issues. In effect, the merged magazine continued Anvil (and continued Anvil’s issue numbering), though the title became formally Anvil and Student Partisan.
Following is a list of the nine issues which constitute a complete set of Student Partisan:
