  • Westel Woodbury Willoughby (20 July 1867 – 25 March 1945) was an American academic. He and his twin brother to William F. Willoughby were the sons of Westel Willoughby and Jennie Rebecca (Woodbury) Willoughby. Their lawyer father had been Major in the Union Army with the New York Volunteers, and after retiring due to injuries incurred at the Battle of Chancellorsville, served as a local prosecutor, then briefly as a trial judge and on the Supreme Court of Appeals for Virginia. Westel Woodbury Willoughby graduated with an A.B. from Johns Hopkins University in the class of 1888, continued with graduate work and received his Ph.D from Hopkins in 1891 at a time when political science was not yet recognized as a separate discipline. His degree was awarded by the combined departments of history and economics. On 27 June 1893, he married Grace Robinson, daughter of Franklin Marvin Robinson, a prominent lawyer in Dubuque, Iowa. After practicing law for a few years with his father in Washington, D.C., Westel W. Willoughby joined the faculty at Hopkins. He moved to Maryland, and with his wife Grace and their two young children Westel Robinson Willoughby (Robinson) and Laura Robinson Willoughby in Baltimore's Roland Park neighborhood in Maryland. At Professor Willoughby's urging, Johns Hopkins created the first department of Political Science, with him as the only professor. He continued to lead this department until retiring at the age of 65 in 1932. He helped to found the American Political Science Association and served as its 10th President. Some have referred to him as the "father of modern political science" due to his prolific publications. His first book, The Nature of the State was published in 1898. He went on to establish himself as one of the foremost authorities on Constitutional Law and the workings of the Supreme Court of the United States. Willoughby was invited as a guest lecturer to China when he responded to a request from the Chinese Government in 1917 to assist as a Constitutional and Legal advisor for a period of one year. As a result of this work, he became a frequent advisor to the Chinese Government, including the Washington Naval Conference in 1921 and the two Opium Conferences in Geneva in 1924–1925 and again in 1931 where Willoughby also served as advisor to the Chinese delegation to the League of Nations. His numerous writings on China and Japan and their relationships prior to World War II are classics that are still used in education to this day. The Chinese Government awarded him the Order of Merit and the Order of the Golden Grain in appreciation for his contribution. His wife Grace, predeceased him by nearly 30 years, dying in 1907 at the age of just 36, and was buried at Linwood Cemetery in her hometown of Dubuque. Thus, the widower raised his two young children alone and never remarried. Along with his twin brother William Franklin Willoughby, an accomplished economist and political scientist, he bought a small island called Endiang on Stoney Lake north of Toronto in 1908 where both families spent their summers. Dr. Willoughby continued to live in Baltimore until his death on 25 March 1945. (en)
  • Westel Woodbury Willoughby, född 20 juli 1867, död 25 mars 1945, var en amerikansk akademiker. Willoughby var son till Westel Willoughby och Jennie Rebecca Woodbury. Fadern hade varit major i nordstatsarmén vid New Yorks frivilligkår och blev skadad i slaget vid Chancellorsville. Sonen (som för övrigt hade en tvillingbror) tog examen från Johns Hopkins-universitetet 1888 och blev filosofie doktor vid samma universitet 1891. Han sysslade främst med statsvetenskap, men eftersom detta ännu inte var erkänt som egen disciplin så tilldelades han sin doktorsgrad av två institutioner, historia och nationalekonomi. Willoughby gifte sig 1893 med Grace Robinson, som var dotter till en framstående advokat i Dubuque, Iowa. Efter att några år ha arbetat som advokat tillsammans med sin far började han 1898 arbeta på Johns Hopkins-universitetet. Detta lärosäte skapade den första institutionen för statsvetenskap på vilken Willoughby var den ende professorn, och han fortsatte att leda institutionen till sin död. Han deltog i skapandet av the American Political Science Association och blev sedermera dess tionde ordförande. Somliga har kallat honom den moderna statsvetenskapens fader p.g.a. hans omfattande författarskap. Han gav ut många böcker under sin karriär vid Johns Hopkins; den första, The Nature of the State kom 1898. Därefter etablerade han sig som en av de främsta auktoriteterna på konstitutionell rätt och USA:s högsta domtol. Willoughby blev inbjuden som gästföreläsare i Kina när han svarade på en propå från kinesiska regeringen 1917 att assistera som en konstitutionell och juridisk rådgivare under ett år. Som ett resultat av detta arbete blev han en återkommande rådgivare till kinesiska regeringen, bl.a. vid internationella konferenser. Hans många skrifter om Kina och Japan och deras relationer före andra världskriget är klassiker som fortfarande används i undervisning. Hans fru dog redan 1907 och Willoughby gifte aldrig om sig. Tillsammans med sin tvillingbror , också han en framgångsrik ekonom och statsvetare, köpte han en liten ö vid namn Endiang on Stoney Lake norr om Toronto där han och familjen tillbringade somrarna. Hans huvudsakliga hem fanns dock ända fram till slutet i Baltimore. (sv)
