Mulford Q. Sibley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mulford Q. Sibley (1912–1989) was a professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota.

Sibley was a controversial figure in part for his outspoken support in favor of academic freedom.[1]

The University of Minnesota retains an inventory of the Sibley papers.[2]

[edit] 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!"[3]

Garrison Keilor picked up the habit of wearing red socks from Sibley.[4]
