History

The School of Advanced International Studies, since its incorporation into the Johns Hopkins University in 1950, has stressed the role of economics in international affairs. Of the original six professors, two were in the field of economics. John A. Loftus was Professor of Economics and William Taylor Phillips was Professor of International Economics.

The number of professors teaching economics has increased only slightly over the years to its current number of three, including the endowed William L. Clayton chair in economics established in 1963, held since its inception by Isaiah Frank. Frank has been a member of the SAIS faculty since 1952, originally as a Lecturer and, since 1963, as a Professor. In order to accommodate the increasing size and variety of the program at SAIS, a good number of visiting professors and lecturers have been brought in. This has allowed the department to offer courses in areas of current interest, to take advantage of particular expertise, and to change the orientation of classes given in response to changing international trends.

 Subgroup 1: Isaiah Frank, 1964-1970 Correspondence and Memoranda Correspondence and Memoranda, 1964-1970

Subgroup 1, Series 1, the correspondence and memoranda of Isaiah Frank, ranges in date from 1964 to 1970. It is arranged alphabetically by subject and within files in reverse chronological order. The records cover a narrow range of topics, such as the Bologna Center, Ph.D. requirements and teacher applications.

Subgroup 1, Series 2, curricular materials for the period 1965 to 1976, includes the outlines and Reading Lists for several classes that Frank repeatedly taught, such as `Economic Aspects of the Atlantic Community,' `Economic Development of Underdeveloped Areas,' `Economic Relations Among Industrial Countries,' and `Foreign Trade and Economic Growth.'

Subgroup 2, Series 1, the correspondence and memoranda of Charles Pearson, falls into two major categories. While the series spans the years 1970 to 1981, the correspondence from the years 1970 to 1975 is arranged alphabetically by subject and within files in reverse chronological order, and the correspondence from 1976 to 1981 is solely in the form of chronological correspondence files, arranged within files in reverse chronological order. Although the topics covered are consistent throughout, they are not filed in the same way throughout the series. The subjects covered in the correspondence are extensive and include research interests, administrative matters, and professional interests, such as Book Reviews and seminars. There is correspondence with colleagues and students alike.
