    George E. Taylor

    George E. Taylor, professor emeritus of international studies who helped found the department that would become the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, died April 14. A native of England, he came to the UW in 1939 to head up the Russian and Far Eastern Studies program, which eventually became the international studies school. Taylor headed the program for most of the years between 1939 through 1969. During that time he made significant upgrades in the quality of the study of East Asia, China, Japan, Russia and Korea. "He took an insignificant program and made it one of the leading centers in the U.S.," says Jere L. Bacharach, the school's current director. Taylor was also involved with the founding of the Washington Council on International Trade and the World Affairs Council. In addition, he established the Washington World Affairs Fellows Program. He retired in 1976. He was 94.
