DeWitt Wallace : ウィキペディア英語版 | DeWitt Wallace DeWitt Wallace (November 12, 1889 – March 30, 1981), also known as William Roy (full name: William Roy DeWitt Wallace〔Reader's Digest Corporate History, http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=71092&p=corp_history〕) was a United States magazine publisher. He co-founded ''Reader's Digest'' with his wife Lila Wallace and published the first issue in 1922. ==Life and career== Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, where his father was on the faculty (and later president) of Macalester College, he attended Mount Hermon School as a youth (now Northfield Mount Hermon School). Wallace attended college at Macalester from 1907 to 1909 but transferred to the University of California, Berkeley for two years. He returned to St. Paul in 1912 and was hired by a publishing firm specializing in farming literature. During World War I, Wallace enlisted in the U.S. Army and was wounded. He spent four months in a French hospital recovering from his injuries, passing the time by reading American magazines. Returning to the U.S., Wallace spent every day of the next six months at the Minneapolis Public Library researching and condensing magazine articles. He wanted to create a magazine with articles on a wide variety of subjects, abridged so that each could be easily read. Wallace showed his sample magazine to Lila Bell Acheson, sister of an old college friend, who responded enthusiastically. He proposed to her and on October 15, 1921, they were married. The Wallaces decided to publish the magazine themselves and market it by direct mail. The first issue appeared on February 5, 1922. ''Reader's Digest'' soon became one of the most widely circulated periodicals in the world. Wallace was a supporter of the Republican Party with strong anti-communist views, and the magazine reflected these beliefs.〔''"Three other publishers also enlisted in the anti-Communist ranks: Henry Luce (''Time'',''Life''), Robert McCormick, (''Chicago Tribune''), and DeWitt Wallace (''Reader's Digest'')."''
