Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Established in 1919 as a direct response to the United States’
involvement in the First World War, the Walsh School of Foreign
Service (SFS) at Georgetown University has long excelled in its
mission to train students for international service. Since its
inception, SFS has provided a rigorous education grounded in
theory, practice, and the Jesuit value of service to numerous
alumni who have shaped global affairs in pathbreaking ways. SFS
100: A Century of Service is a handsomely illustrated volume that
celebrates the school’s first one hundred years and the faculty
and alumni who have made SFS the world’s top school of
international affairs. And this collection of stories reflects the
people and ideas that have shaped SFS’s identity and impact.
Organized thematically to link the development of the school to
world events over the last century, SFS 100 profiles key alumni and
faculty who have applied their knowledge to the greater world in
their varying positions as heads of state, diplomats, military
leaders, business executives, aid workers, media figures,
professors, and more. In recording these experiences, the book also
traces SFS’s impact on the role of women in international
affairs, highlighting women who have pushed boundaries for the
betterment of the United States and the world. In describing the
work of diverse SFS alumni, this book charts the evolution of the
school as it upholds and adapts its practices in a continuously
changing world. Madeleine Albright, Mortara Endowed Distinguished
Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy, sums up the driving ethos
of SFS best: “As long as there are wrongs in this world, there
must also be those trained, and trained at the highest level, to
right them.” SFS 100 celebrates the remarkable individuals who
have upheld this mission for a century and promise to extend it
well into the next.
