Introductiong

T of articles and photographs celebrates fiftyyears of the Eastman House and, indirectly, seventy-one years of the East-man Professorship at Oxford University. Established in by GeorgeEastman (of Eastman Kodak fame) and administered by the Association ofAmerican Rhodes Scholars through the American Trust for Oxford Uni-versity (ATFO), the Eastman Professorship is one of the most prestigioushonors an American academic can receive, one of the most distinguishedvisiting appointments at Oxford, and a significant contribution to the shar-ing of knowledge and culture — in both directions — across the Atlantic.Among the distinguished list of Eastman Professors (which is reprinted atthe end of this special issue) one finds many Nobel Prize winners. EastmanProfessors — whose disciplines rotate among the humanities, social sci-ences, and natural sciences — are elected for one year and become honoraryfellows of Balliol College. Professors, even Eastman Professors, do not liveby bread and fellowship alone. They also need a place to live.

In its earliest years, ATFO arranged housing accommodations northof the University Parks, but that arrangement was found wanting. In ,the Board of Direction of the AARS passed a resolution to construct ahouse for the Eastman Professor. Balliol College made available for thispurpose land in central Oxford. Construction began in at the cornerof Jowett Walk and St. Cross Road, near the Balliol cricket ground. Thetwo essays reprinted here revisit the construction of Eastman House andthe founding of the Professorship. Emory H. Niles details the need for apermanent house for Eastman Professor as well as the selection of theproperty and architect. Beaumont Newhall revisits the origins of the Pro-fessorship, including some of the original Eastman correspondence. Alsoreprinted here are photographs from the Rhodes Reunion, includingthe presentation of the results of the Eastman endowment appeal. Readersare referred to the Spring issue of The American Oxonian, which wasdevoted exclusively to fifty years of the Eastman Professorship.

The AARS Board of Directors continues to administer the Professor-ship with care, working with the Warden, Dr. Donald Markwell, to inte-grate the Professor’s tenure at Oxford more completely in the lives andstudies of Rhodes Scholars. The Directors are also taking care to ensure thefinancial stability of the Professorship and the House in an era of escalat-ing costs. As we celebrate fifty years of Eastman House, we look back at arich history of trans-Atlantic scholarly collaboration, and look forward tomany decades to come of this unique contribution of the AARS to OxfordUniversity and to the experience of Rhodes Scholars.

Eastman Professors at the University of Oxford

The Eastman Professorship was established in 1929 by George Eastman, founder ofthe Eastman Kodak Company, to create at Oxford University a chair to be filled on avisiting basis by senior American Scholars of the highest distinction. Each appoint-ment is made for one year. The fund which supports the Eastman Professorship isadministered by the Board of Directors of the AARS through the American Trust ForOxford University. Electors to the Eastman Chair are the Vice-Chancellor of OxfordUniversity, two persons appointed by the Council of Oxford University, and two per-sons appointed by the Board of Directors of the AARS.

The Association of American Rhodes Scholars was founded in Oxford in 1907, reorganized in New Yorkin 1928 and incorporated in Delaware in 2006.

Dues are $50 peryear, except that Rhodes Scholars who have come down from Oxford within the past five years may payat the reduced rate of $25 per year; dues for Rhodes Scholars in residence at Oxford are zero. Dues areused to pay the operating expenses of the Association, principally the quarterly publication of The Amer-ican Oxonian, the operation of the AARS website, the Bon Voyage Weekend and other AARS events andreunions. To support these activities, contributions in addition to dues are encouraged at a variety of lev-els up to the CJR Society ($5,000 and above). The Association derives no revenue from the Rhodes Trust.The Association’s activities foster social, intellectual and professional connections that reflect sharedexperiences and extend perspectives among the Rhodes community in support of the Rhodes Scholar-ship and Oxford University.
