Biography of Dr. Edward Mead Earle
Dr. Edward Mead Earle was born in New York City on May 20, 1894, son of Stephen King and Helen (Hart) Earle. A graduate of Columbia University from which he received a B.A., M.A. and later a Ph.D, Earle served as lieutenant in both the Field Artillery and the Air Service during World War I before beginning his career as an educator in 1920. In February of 1919, he married Beatrice Lowndes. Following World War I, Earle traveled extensively in the Near East and by 1927, had won recognition as a military affairs expert, particularly in the area of the history of American diplomacy. Later, he expanded such knowledge through travels to the Caribbean and various parts of Western Europe. In 1920, Earle became a lecturer in history at Columbia and by 1926, had become a full professor. Due to a serious bout with tuberculosis, Earle was forced to retire from teaching for several years until 1934 when he was appointed professor at the School of Economics and Politics, a newly created unit at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey.
At the Institute, Earle established a seminar designed to explore various issues in American security. In addition to this work, Earle served as a member of the Board of Analysts at the Office of Strategic Services (1941-42) and later became a Special Consultant to the Commanding General of the American Air Forces (1942-1945). Throughout much of his life as an educator, Earle lectured at various War Colleges including the Army War College, Army Industrial College, Army and Navy Staff College, and the National War College, as well as several British universities. Earle was also involved in a number of professional associations and committees, including the Foundation for the Advancement of the Social Sciences (University of Denver) as a trustee, the Council on Foreign Relations, the National War College as a member of the Board of Consultants, and the American Committee for International Studies [ACIS] as chair. As chair of ACIS, he played an important planning role in its North Atlantic Relations Conference on current and post-war cooperation (1941). Earle authored and/or edited a number of books and articles including Makers of Modern Strategy, Nationalism and Internationalism, and a new edition of The Federalist. Earle and his wife had one daughter, Rosamond. Earle died in New York City in June 1954.
Description
The bulk of the collection consists of professional correspondence between Earle and university professors, government officials, and influential members of committees and councils. This correspondence reveals the extent of Earle's diverse network of associations as well as that of his business travels both locally to New York and Washington and abroad to the Caribbean, England, and Western Europe. The other substantial portion of the collection is comprised of the files of the American Committee for International Studies (ACIS)--the American member of the International Studies Conference, administered by the Council on Foreign Relations -- of which Earle was chair. Additionally, there is a significant amount of information documenting Earle's involvement with the National War College, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Foundation for the Advancement of Social Sciences (University of Denver). The collection contains some of Earle's writings such as memoranda, lectures, addresses, published articles and books and a limited amount of Earle's research notes and clippings. Supplementing the writings is substantial correspondence relating in particular to two books edited by Earle: Makers of Modern Strategy and Nationalism and Internationalism.

Flexner, Bernard, Papers: (Bernard Flexner: lawyer, organizer of the Palestine Economic Corporation, 1925) This collection contains incoming and outgoing correspondence relating to Earle, covering the years 1929-1943. Aside from references to personal matters (the two men and their families appear to have been quite close), the correspondence deals with Earle's editing of a new edition of The Federalist (1937-1938) and Earle's compiling of a bibliography of books on United States history entitled The United States: History and Institutions: A Brief Reading List (1942). Both projects appear to have been proposed by Flexner in some manner -- or at least he had a substantial hand in the process. The correspondence also relates to Flexner's involvement in the relocation of German scholar refugees (1933-1934) and to the issue of Jewish immigration into Palestine (c.1939). Each man appears to hold the other in esteem and frequently asks advice of the other on articles written or current issues.

Box 1 Earle's Reading Lists, undated
Box 1 Series 2: American Committee for International Studies [ACIS], (1932-1948)
Series Description
Series 2: American Committee for International Studies [ACIS], (1932-1948) consists of the records of ACIS, formerly known as the American Coordinating Committee for International Studies. ACIS represents an expanded version of the original committee. The American Coordinating Committee was established in 1936 to take the place of the Council on Foreign Relations as the American member of the International Studies Conference, a conference organized in 1928 that cultivated a program of studies in countries with member groups. The Council on Foreign Relations became the administrative agent for the American Coordinating Committee. The Committee was composed of representatives of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Foreign Policy Association, the Institute of Pacific Relations, the National Committee of the United States on International Intellectual Cooperation, and university members appointed by the Social Science Research Council.
With the outbreak of World War II, it was suggested that the American Coordinating Committee undertake various activities (e.g. preparing memoranda, informing the public, and preparing scholarly studies) that would help to prepare the United States for potential changes in the world order. As the Executive Committee of the American Coordinating Committee felt that some of these activities fell outside the sphere of the Committee, the Committee reorganized itself into the American Committee for International Studies [ACIS] in order to expand its functions. ACIS was designed not only to continue the function of the original committee -- that of preparing memoranda, but also to expand into an active program of study, analyzing the interests, opportunities, and obligations of the United States currently and during post-war reconstruction. This analysis would be a combined effort of individuals from various backgrounds, including business and academia.
This series should be considered distinct from, although related to, the other five series, as it contains the files of ACIS and not Earle's personal files. The files document Earle's role as chair of the committee from 1940-1941 and contain a substantial amount of correspondence to and from Earle. The files reflect his role as organizer of conferences and committee meetings; creator of “liaisons” with various individuals and foundations (e.g. the Carnegie Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation); and organizer of the Military Policy sub-committee. However, more than half of the correspondence is to and from William W. Lockwood, secretary of ACIS from 1940-1941.
The ACIS series is broken down into five subseries: Minutes, Financial Statements, Correspondence, Organizational Files, and the Conference on North Atlantic Relations (CNAR). The five subseries are arranged alphabetically. As ACIS represents a reorganized version of the American Coordinating Committee for International Studies, rather than a merger of two distinct committees, the folders from the former committee have been interfiled with those of the latter. Some of the files in the Minutes subseries have accompanying material interfiled (e.g. correspondence, agenda, and committee reports). The Financial Statements subseries includes correspondence relating to general expenses and budget reports for the years 1938-1944. In the Correspondence subseries, organization names and the names of individuals are interfiled. Primary correspondents' names within an organization follow the organization name enclosed by parentheses. The Organizational Files include substantial material on the reorganization conference in Rye, New York (November 3-4, 1939) at which the American Coordinating Committee discussed how it would restructure itself to take on the new challenges presented by the outbreak of World War II. Also included in this subseries are files on a number of International Studies Conferences, especially the Bergen, Norway Conference held in August, 1939, and a number of files on research proposals overseen by the Committee (e.g. American Military Policy, Totalitarianism in Europe). In addition to these, the Organizational Files subseries contains correspondence files for fourteen of the committee members. The fifth subseries, The Conference on North Atlantic Relations, includes planning material, conference proceedings (outlines/recorders' notes) consisting of a number of sessions relating to Post-War settlement -- “When the Fighting Stops,” “Rebuilding Europe,” and “Post-War Order,” -- and complete conference documentation contained in a bound volume and listed in the box listing according to the creating committee or organization. It also includes information relating to the invitees, representatives from Canada, Great Britain and other European countries, and the United States.

Box 23-24 Series 4: Professional Activities, (1937-1954)
Series Description
Series 4: Professional Activities, (1937-1954) is arranged alphabetically within six subseries: The Princeton Military Studies Group, Government Consultant/Advisor, Professional Associations (other than ACIS), Professional-Related Activities, Conferences, and Interviews. The series consists primarily of correspondence, with some government reports, committee minutes, and news clippings interfiled. The Princeton Military Studies Group subseries reflects the activities of a group of scholars established by Earle to study broad questions of national strategy, military security, elements of military and economic power, and the role of the United States in world politics. The Government Consultant/Advisor subseries illustrates Earle's extensive work with federal government offices during World War II (especially with the Army Air Forces, Headquarters). Within the Professional Associations subseries, there is a substantial amount of material on Earle's involvement in the Council on Foreign Relations [CFR]. Aside from a number of general CFR folders, there are folders containing reports and correspondence of various CFR study groups, most substantially the Study Group on Anglo-American Relations (1952). The drafts of this study group's report are listed in the box listing. This subseries also contains a substantial amount of material on Earle's role as a trustee of the Foundation for the Advancement of the Social Sciences (based at the University of Denver). The Professional-Related Activities subseries highlights Earle's part in instigating citizen involvement in the War Effort and in several government projects. Information regarding a number of military policy conferences with which Earle was involved are contained in the Conferences subseries. The Interviews subseries contains dictations of interviews conducted by Earle with individuals such as Charles Dollard and Frederick Keppel of the Carnegie Corporation and Joseph H. Willets of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Series 5: Research Files
Series Description
Series 5: Research Files (World War I-World War II and Post-World War II), consist of outlines of Earle's lectures and article drafts on a variety of topics and accompanying research notes, news clippings, reports, excerpts from books, and bibliographic citations. The series is divided into two parts -- World War I - World War II files and Post-World War II files. Both subseries are arranged alphabetically by research subject. Topics included in the World War I-World War II files are Air Power (various theories on), National Security, and Post-War Settlements. Also included are several folders on American History, particularly relating to Revolutionary America. Although not specifically about World War I and World War II, these files may have been used to shed perspective on relevant issues. The Post-World War II files include such topics as American foreign policy, Anglo-American and Franco-American relations, and civil-military relations. Clippings and articles from The Economist, The New York Times, The Herald Tribune, and Atlantic Monthly represent the majority of the accompanying material. The decision was made not to keep files containing solely clippings and other materials collected by Earle as part of his “general research” (i.e. not accompanying lecture outlines or other drafts). This decision was based on the assumption that the sources Earle consulted for his published writings would be noted as citations in the bibliographies of those works.

Series 6: Writings is composed of several types of materials. The first subseries, Related Correspondence and Other Materials, consists of correspondence regarding Earle's writings (lectures, letters to the editor, book reviews, books, and articles), as well as related materials such as clippings and reviews and some drafts. The second subseries, Drafts and Typescripts, contains drafts of some of Earle's lectures, syllabi, and various memoranda and notes (authored by Earle as well as by The Princeton Military Studies Group). The third subseries, Publications, contains published articles, books and book reviews. Within the Articles/Reports sub-subseries of Publications, the published articles are arranged according to the journal in which the article was published. Within the Books sub-subseries of Publications, the materials are arranged according to Earle's role in the publication process--author, editor/co-author, or author of an introduction or forward. The books most worthy of note include Nationalism and Internationalism (essays inscribed to Carlton J.H. Hayes) and Modern France. Also of note is Halford J. Mackinder's Democratic Ideals and Reality, for which Earle wrote the introduction.
