Created by Dr. Thomas M. Campbell

Thomas M. Campbell was born May 2, 1936 in Evanston, IL. He received his B.A. (cum laude) and was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate from Randolph-Macon College in 1958. He earned his M.A. (1960) and Ph.D. (1964) degrees from the University of Virginia, where he started his academic career as a teaching assistant.

Dr. Campbell joined the faculty of Florida State University in 1963 as an instructor and became a full professor of history in 1977. He also served as a member of the Faculty Senate, Assistant Dean of the Graduate School, and chairman of the Rhodes Scholarship Committee.

The Junior Chamber of Commerce named him one of its 10 Outstanding Young Americans of 1971, and he was chosen as a Fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities two years later.

Dr. Campbell was the author of "Masquerade Peace: America's U.N. Policy, 1944-1945" (University Presses of Florida, 1973), and co-edited with George C. Herring "The Diaries of Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., 1943-1946" (Franklin Watts, 1974), which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1975. He was also a contributor to Lawrence S. Kaplan and Robert W. Clawson's "NATO after Thirty Years" (Scholarly Resources, 1981), and wrote numerous articles for historical journals, such as International Organization, Journal of American History, and American Historical Review.

He was the first recipient of a Stettinius Fellowship and based many of his scholarly conclusions on the extensive work he did with Stettinius's private and public papers, which he cataloged for the Library of Congress. At his death on July 11, 1993, Campbell was doing research for a biography of Stettinius, an industrialist, who served President Franklin D. Roosevelt as lend-lease administrator and U.S. Secretary of State.
