Mulford Q. Sibley

Mulford Q. Sibley

Mulford Quickert Sibley (1912–1989) was a professor of political science at the University of Minnesota. He was a controversial figure partly for his outspoken support in favor of academic freedom.[1] A prolific author and essayist, Sibley wrote extensively on pacifism, utopianism, and civil disobedience. A collection of his papers at the Minnesota Historical Society includes correspondence, literary works, and teaching materials. [2] In both his classes and at political rallies, Sibley often railed against the Vietnam War. The University of Minnesota retains an inventory of the Sibley papers.[3]

Anecdotes

"I'd seen political science professor Mulford Q. Sibley make quite a splash at the University of Minnesota when he gave his lectures in a huge barn. One day he’d be Plato, another day, someone else. Seventeen hundred people would show up to those lectures!"[4]

Garrison Keillor picked up the habit of wearing red socks from Sibley.[5]
