Rand School of Social Science
- Rand School of Social Science
The Rand School of Social Science was formed in New York City by the Socialist Party in 1906. The school aimed to provide a broad education to workers, imparting a politicizing class-consciousness. From 1917 until it closed in 1956, it was located at 7 East 15th Street in Manhattan's Union Square neighborhood.
In 1919, during the first Red Scare, the school was raided by New York State officials who alleged it was a front for the Communist Party. When no evidence was produced a judge threw out the case. [cite book

Instructors at the school included Bertrand Russell, Stephen Vincent Benet, Scott Nearing, Charles Beard, John Dewey, and James Harvey Robinson.
Rand's Meyer London Library is now New York University's Tamiment Library.
The Rand School is not to be confused with the New School for Social Research, a separate and unaffiliated institution of higher learning also located in New York City. [cite book

Rauchway 2001, p. 159.]
