Robert G. L. Waite
Robert George Leeson Waite (February 18, 1919 – October 4, 1999) was a historian, psychohistorian, and the Brown Professor of History (1949–1988) at Williams College who specialized in the Nazi movement—particularly Adolf Hitler.
==Early life and undergraduate education==
Waite was born in Cartwright, Manitoba, on February 18, 1919. His father was a minister of the United Church of Canada. He grew up as a “preacher’s kid,” in the prairie towns of Manitoba and Minnesota.〔Thomas Kohut and John M. Hyde, "In Memoriam: Robert G. L. Waite," ''Clio's Psyche'' vol. 6, no. 3 (December 1999): 129-131.〕 When describing his life, he captured the flavor of these small towns, adopting the cadence, regional expressions, and accents of the Scandinavian farmers and the families with whom he grew up.
In the fall of 1937, Waite entered Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the midst of the Great Depression. To supplement his scholarship and to earn whatever spending money he could, Waite held a variety of jobs, from working in the open pit mines of the Mesabi Range in northern Minnesota to guarding the supposed corpse of John Wilkes Booth in a traveling carnival.〔
