Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- W. Clement Eaton, University of Kentucky professor of history from 1946 to 1968, was born on February 23, 1898, the son of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Mayor, O.B. Eaton, and the brother of poet Charles Edward Eaton. In 1919 and 1920 he received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In 1929 he earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University where he studied under both Arthur Schlesinger, Sr., and Frederick Jackson Turner.
- A specialist in the history of the American South, Eaton began his full-time teaching career in 1929 as an assisitant professor of history at Clark University. He soon, however, accepted a position as full professor and head of the History Department at Lafayette College, where he served from 1930 to 1946. In 1946 Eaton moved to Lexington, joining a History Department faculty at the University of Kentucky, under the chairmanship of Dr. Thomas D. Clark, which was steadily growing in numbers and national prestige.
- Throughout his teaching career Eaton received many honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, three Fulbright scholarships, the Cambridge Pitt Professorship, and the University of Kentucky College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor Award. He also participated in many professional organizations, such as the Southern Historical Association, of which he served as president during 1961. Eaton was the author of numerous articles and of ten books. Among his publications are: Freedom of Thought in the Old South, for which he received the Duke Press Centennial Prize in 1939; A History of the Old South (1949); The Mind of the Old South (1964); and Jefferson Davis (1978). Eaton's teaching and writing career continued well into his retirement. At the time of his death, on August 12, 1980, he had partially completed the writing of an eleventh monograph--The Society and Culture of the South in the Nineteenth Century.
