Peter J. Stanlis is Professor Emeritus of English at Rockford College. As the author of Edmund Burke and the Natural Law, which appeared in 1955 and revolutionized the way Burke was viewed in the academy, Dr. Stanlis is one of the fathers of postwar conservatism. During the last forty years or so he has been one of ISI's most active and popular Faculty Associates. One of the ISI students on whom he left his mark was our very own Ken Cribb, whom Peter had as a student at two ISI summer schools, including one at Hartford University, where Peter led the summer school in cooperation with none other than Will Herberg. Dr. Stanlis remains an active scholar, and ISI Books will publish his book on the thought of his friend Robert Frost next year.
