==Early Life==
Randolph S. Bourne was educated at Columbia University and has traveled and studied in Europe.
==Literary Work==
He was one of the more important of the younger contributors to American magazines on social and political movements and on education. His most important books are "Youth and Life" (1913) and "Education and Living" (1917). His work "''Trans-National America''" is a discussion on the assimilation of the immigrant into American life which has come to be referred to as the "[[Melting pot]]" - a concept that Bourne did not hold in high regard.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=zbb4O82RUwQC&pg=PA343 World War Issues and Ideals: Readings in Contemporary History and Literature], Trans-National America</ref>
