Carrier Library, James Madison University
Compiled by Chris Bolgiano, Oct. 1997
Scope and Content. This collection consists of four final drafts and fourteen published texts of speeches drafted by Mr. Glick and delivered by members of the Truman and Eisenhower presidential administrations, from 1951 to 1960. Texts include: opening speech to the Democratic national campaign (1960), given by then Senator Lyndon B. Johnson; "Morals and power" speech given by Secretary of State John F. Dulles to the graduating class of the National War College (1953); and other speeches by various ambassadors and Congressmen. "In most cases," wrote Mr. Glick concerning this collection, "the speech texts were the product of discussion between the speaker and the writer." Mr. Glick bought property in the Stanely area of Page County in 1960. After he retired there in the 1970s, he wrote editorial columns for Harrisonburg's newspaper, the Daily News Record. Also included in the collection are two books:
- The new methodology: a study of political strategy and tactics. Washington, D.C.: American Institute for Political Communication, 1967 (edited by Mr. Glick).
- American politics in a complex world, a collection of political commentaries, by Edward M. Glick. Harrisonburg, VA: Rockingham Pub. Co., 1988.
Provenance. Donated by Mr. Glick in May, 1997.
