It is a distinguished list. We are working to make that list ever more distinguished in the next century. This record was brought together mainly for the use of current staff and graduate students, Department of Political Science, University of Wisconsin at Madison. More generally, it offers a suggestion of what graduate work in political science at a major American institution has meant in the world. Not all leads have been followed to the end because life and funds are short.
Injustices are probable because there is more information in some cases than in others.
None the less the time seems to have come to make the present information available. It is hoped that readers who detect important lapses will write. Those seeking more complete datra on individuals listed may consult the Biographical Directories mentioned above, and in more than a few instances, Who's Who in America. Political Science teaching at the University of Wisconsin began in the 1860's well before the Ph.D. era, with instruction in Civil Polity, Insternational Law, Constitutional Law, and Political Economy. These offerings were expanded in the 1880's, and in 1892-93 a School of Exonomics, Political Science and History was formed in which seminar work was given.
