Hugh Davis Graham (1936-2002) was educated in the public schools of Nashville, Tennessee. He attended Yale University (BA 1958), and Stanford University (PhD 1964). After tours of duty in the U.S. Marine Corps and the Peace Corps, he taught history at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, before joining the faculty of Vanderbilt University in 1991 as the Holland N. McTyeire Professor of History. He was the author or editor of sixteen books in American history.
In order to honor the late Hugh Davis Graham and to promote research in policy history and political history, the Hugh Davis Graham Research Fund was established in 2004 with initial gifts from friends and family. This fund will provide research stipends for graduate students and established scholars doing archival research in policy and political history. Doctoral students, junior scholars, and senior scholars will be eligible for support from this fund. We are now accepting applications. Click here for application information.
The campaign committee to establish the Hugh Davis Graham Research Fund is chaired by Julian Zelizer (History, Boston University) and includes Jane DeHart (History, University of California, Santa Barbara), Otis Graham (History-emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara), Samuel McSeveney (History-emeritus, Vanderbilt University), James Mohr (History, University of Oregon), James Patterson (History-emeritus, Brown University), and Byron Shafer (Political Science, University of Wisconsin, Madison). The Hugh Davis Graham Fund is established as a restricted account through the Institute for Political History. Organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, the Institute was established in 2000 as a tax-exempt organization under section 501 C (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is incorporated in the state of Missouri.
All contributions to the Hugh Davis Graham Fund are tax-deductible. Donations should be made to the Institute for Political History, designated “Hugh Davis Graham Fund.” Donations are being accepted through the Journal of Policy History, Department of History, Saint Louis University, 3800 Lindell Boulevard, P.O.
