This post is reproduces a table found in the Princeton economics department’s website that lists 69 distinguished economists who were invited by its International Economics Section (formerly known as the International Finance Section) to give the annual Frank D. Graham Memorial Lecture from 1950/51 through 2022/2023. It is quite the who has been or still is who of international economics. Some later post will deal with the historical record of the International Economics Section. For now, one more artifact added to the collection.

Frank D. Graham taught at Princeton from 1921 until 1949, and served as the second Walker Professor of Economics and International Finance from 1945 to 1949. Professor Graham published widely on international trade and international monetary issues. He is perhaps best known for his 1923 paper, “Some Aspects of Protection Further Considered.” Graham’s contributions to Princeton and to international economics are honored by the Frank D. Graham Memorial Lecture, which is delivered annually by an eminent international economist.
