History

An advisory body to the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) was established when the school itself was established in 1943. Although several names were used for this body over the years, its functions were essentially the same and its membership was continuous. In 1958, the duties of the Academic Board and of the Advisory Council were formally defined in a letter dated January 23, 1958, from President Milton S. Eisenhower to SAIS Dean Philip W. Thayer: The Academic Board of the School of Advanced International Studies is the advisory group of the school which gives critical and continuing attention to educational matters, and, when necessary, submits recommendations to the President of the University for his approval or for final action by the Board of Trustees. These matters will include maintenance of University academic standards, changes in the academic program, appointments to the academic staff, academic promotions and questions of educational policy. The Board should meet at least twice each semester, and oftener on the call of the Chairman. The Advisory Council to the School of Advanced International Studies (whose membership is the same as that of the Foreign Service Educational Foundation) advises the Dean of the School and the President of the University on administrative matters including fiscal, organizational, public relations, and related problems.

Many of the members of the Advisory Council were prominent figures in government, including members of the United States Congress and the Cabinet. A few of the more illustrious members of the Advisory Council include: Dean G. Acheson, Secretary of State from 1949 to 1953; Christian A. Herter, Secretary of State from 1959 to 1961; William P. Rogers, Secretary of State from 1969 to 1973; and Frances P. Bolton, U.S. Representative from Ohio from 1940 to 1968.
