In May 1965 Nathan issued arebuke and a warning to the campus clubs in The Objectivist Newsletter.He and Rand were particularly concerned about the names these organizationsmight choose. Nathan explained that names such as the AynRand Study Club were appropriate, whereas names such as the JohnGalt Society were not. “As a fiction character, John Galt is Miss Rand’sproperty; he is not in the public domain,” Nathan argued. 10He also spelled out the proper nomenclature for those who admiredRand’s ideas. The term Objectivist was “ intimately and exclusively associatedwith Miss Rand and me,” he wrote. “A person who is in agreementwith our philosophy should describe himself, not as an Objectivist, butas a student or a supporter of Objectivism.” At a later date, when thephilosophy had spread farther, it might be possible for there to be <strong>more</strong>than two Objectivists.

In 1962 Rothbard publishedhis two-volume Man, Economy, and the State, an exegesis of hismentor Ludwig Von Mises’s thought. The book was written with a concludingset of chapters advocating anarchism, which Rothbard’s sponsorsat the Volker Fund quietly excised. Rothbard took his ideas to a<strong>more</strong> receptive audience, founding a magazine called Left and Right thathoped to attract student rebels from both ends of the political spectrum.12 Although anarchism was a minority position, to say the least,
