Three Who Clearly Fit the Category of Celebrity
Professors
- Kenneth W. Colegrove
-
- Served as chair throughout the 1940s; longtime
secretary of the American Political Science
Association; advised in writing the postwar Japanese
constitution; plaintiff in a famous constitutional law
case; supported Senator McCarthy and crusaded against
communism.
-
- William Montgomery McGovern
-
- Born in New York but graduating in 1917 with a
doctor of divinity from a Buddhist monastery in Japan,
McGovern held an appointment in Oriental Studies at
the University of London prior to becoming Assistant
Curator in the Anthropology Department at Chicago's
Field Museum. He was a foreign correspondent in the
Far East and led expeditions into Tibet and up the
Amazon River.
-
- Harold
Guetzkow
Guetzkow received his PhD in Psychology in 1948
from the University of Michigan and gained his early
reputation in social psychology. He joined
Northwestern in 1957 with a professorial appointment
in three departments: psychology, sociology, and
political science. Political science was his main home
and where he did his pioneering research in simulation
of international relations. One testimony to
Guetzkow's intellect comes from Herbert Simon, Nobel
Prize-Winner in Economics, who dedicated his book,
Models of Man (1957) to him. Prof. Guetzkow
retired from the faculty in 1985 but continues his
scholarly activities in California. The link above is
to the page maintained by Prof. Michael Ward (NU PhD,
1977) at the University of Washington "to serve as a
repository for information about the use of simulation
in the social sciences, in honor of Harold Guetzkow."
