Excerpt from The Mob Mind Vs; Civil Liberty In this discussion the word crowd must be understood to mean the peculiar mental condition which sometimes occurs when people think and act together, either immediately where the members of the group are present and in close contact, or remotely, as when they affect one another in a certain way through the medium of an organization, a party or sect, or the press.

Everett Dean Martin was born on July 5, 1880 in Jacksonville, Illinois. He was the oldest child of Buker E. and Mollie (Field) Martin. His father, a tobacconist, was a native of Illinois; his mother, of Iowa.
Martin attended Illinois College in Jacksonville (B. A. 1904) and continued his studies at the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, from which he received a diploma in 1907.
Ordained in 1907 as a Congregational minister, he held pastorates in Lombard, Illinois (1906 - 08), and Dixon, Illinois (1908 - 10), and in Des Moines, Iowa, where he was minister of the Unitarian church (1910 - 14). He then left the ministry to devote his time to writing on social questions. In 1916 Martin began a long association with the People's Institute, a center for adult education in New York City founded in 1897 by Charles Sprague Smith. As its principal activity the Institute conducted an extensive series of public lectures, held at Cooper Union and known as the Cooper Union Forum. Martin, appointed initially as a lecturer in social philosophy, in 1917 was made director of the Forum and assistant director of the Institute itself (he became its director in 1922). From 1919 to 1922 he was also chairman of another Institute committee, the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures. Beginning in 1917, Martin developed still another People's Institute undertaking, a group of classes in literature, biology, psychology, and other subjects, held in libraries, settlement houses, and elsewhere, that became known as the School of Philosophy. In his own classes he was (in the words of a contemporary description) a "scholarly, witty, and genial" lecturer, who spoke "with ease and without affectation. " Funds for the Institute's program, always difficult to raise, virtually vanished during the depression years, and in 1934 it went out of existence. At this time Cooper Union took over the adult lecture series, setting up for the purpose a Department of Social Philosophy with Martin as its head. Martin left Cooper Union in 1938 to become professor of social philosophy at the Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, Calif. Three years later, at the age of sixty, he died of a heart attack at Claremont.

His psychological work is noteworthy as an early attempt to utilize Freudian theory in explaining the behavior of men in groups. In his first and most important book, The Behavior of Crowds (1920), he viewed mob action as a form of mental disorder, the product of repressed impulses of individuals which the presence of others, under certain circumstances, brought to the fore. Martin's social thought is of interest as a popular defense of liberalism and the democratic process during a period when these values were under frequent assault. In The Meaning of a Liberal Education (1926) he condemned what he considered the utilitarian emphasis of contemporary schooling and advocated a humanist education as the bulwark of liberal democracy, believing that it inoculated individuals against infection by the irrational behavior of crowds, behavior which paved the way for revolution. All revolutions, said Martin, were by nature anti-liberal (Farewell to Revolution, 1935), and he insisted that viable solutions to social problems could be found only through rational and sane discussion.
In 1907 he had married Esther W. Kirk of Jacksonville, Ill. , whom he divorced in 1915. They had three children: Mary, Margaret, and Elizabeth. His second marriage, in 1915, to Persis E. Rowell, also ended in divorce; they had one son, Everett Eastman. Martin was survived by his third wife, Daphne Crane Drake, whom he had married in 1931.
