Odegard, Peter H.
THE PAPERS OF PETER H. ODEGARDPeter H. Odegard was born in Kalispell, Montana on April 5, 1901. Later, the family moved to the State of Washington. Odegard did his undergraduate and masters work at the University of Washington before going to Columbia University where he obtained a doctorate in 1928.
Odegard taught courses in government and political science at Columbia University (1924-1928), Williams College (1928-1930), Ohio State University (1930-1938), Amherst College (1938-1945) and the University of California (1948-1966). He also served as President of Reed College from 1945-1948.
During World War II, Odegard commuted between Amherst, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. where he was employed, first as a consultant and, later, as an assistant to Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau. His main duties in the Treasury Department were in connection with Defense and War Bond sales. This included supervising the organization set up to manage the bond campaigns, assisting in the selection of publicity materials and approving the formats of the various radio and stage performances given during the bond campaigns.
Mr. Odegard also served as a consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission (1947-1954), was a member of the Committee on Policy and Program for the Ford Foundation (1948-1950), a member of the President's Commission on Migratory Labor (1950-1951) and a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1956.
In addition to teaching, Odegard wrote a number of articles for periodicals and professional journals and was the author of several books including: PRESSURE POLITICS - THE STORY OF THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE (1928), THE AMERICAN PUBLIC MIND (1930), AMERICAN POLITICS - A STUDY IN POLITICAL DYNAMICS (with E.A. Helms-1938), PROLOGUE TO NOVEMBER 1940 (1940), and THE POWER TO GOVERN (1957).
Peter Odegard died on December 7, 1966.
The Odegard Papers held by the Library are mainly for the period 1941-1945 when Odegard was with the Treasury Department. The papers have been divided into three series.
