Interview with Professor Gardner Patterson
Head of the International Finance Section, Princeton University, Princeton» N. J.
Professor Patterson is a young, energetic and very able expert on
international finance. He had heard of the Federal Reserve History Project
and inquired whether or not it might be possible for him to do some work in
the major project. He is particularly interested in international finance and
would probably be working in the period 1914 to 1928,
I discussed with him the possible setup of operations under the
projected main plan and suggested that it would be helpful If he would write
a letter setting forth his particular field of interest and the thing which he
had in mind. I assured him that this would not coiomit him to anything nor would
it include any promise from us.
Mr. Patterson is one of the able younger people in this field. If he
can work on the international exchange and finance section of any comprehensive
project that may be agreed on, he may be very valuable.
