Michael Yates, C’67, is the longest serving director of Monthly Review Press in New York City. He became director in 2006, and since then has seen more than 200 books through to publication. Michael served as primary editor for at least 100 of these. The Press recently published his 19th book, The Political Writings of Bhagat Singh, co-edited with Chaman Lal. He first learned to write with some skill at SVC (You can't edit if you can't write!), with his first professors of English, Jim Crenner and Phil Tama showing him the way. Michael was taught great skills of disciplined studying by Fathers Armand and Callistus in their Economics classes and the patience to learn everything he could in every class from Father Roderick. Michael was a college teacher for 45 years, and always tried to pattern himself after those teachers who could make difficult material clear and not so hard to understand. At SVC, his calculus teacher, Dr. Dudzinsky, was a marvel at this. He wants to thank these professors and SVC in general for helping him see how little he knew but how much he might come to know.
