This collection consists of the transcripts of the Commonwealth Fund lecture series, An American Empire, at University College
London in 1956 given by USC professor of history, Richard Van Alstyne (1900-1983).
Following receipt of a Ph.D. in History from Stanford University (1928), Richard Van Alstyne (1900-1983) taught for seventeen
years at Chico State University. In 1945 he joined the faculty of the University of Southern California, where he taught for
twenty more years. After a year-long fellowship at the Huntington Library, Van Alstyne came to the University of the Pacific
as Distinguished Professor of History, a post he held until his death. Long recognized as a leading scholar in the field of
American Diplomatic History, Van Alstyne also maintained a keen interest in the development of American Nationalism. His principal
