Donald Paige Frary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald Paige Frary (1893-1919) was a noted American professor and author.
Frary was born in Charlemont, Massachusetts on August 9, 1893 to Edward Sanderson and Caroline Louisa (ne Paige) Frary. Frary was a graduate of
Yale University and would serve as a professor there, specializing in International Affairs. During his tenure at Yale Frary completed two books that
established him as one of the pre-eminent scholars on the subject of Eastern Europe. His third book, "How the World Votes," co-authored with
fellow Yale professor Charles Seymour, garnered considerably more critical praise, so much so that nearly a century later it is still considered one of
the best books on the electoral process.
Frary's expertise on the subject of Eastern Europe caught the attention of the Wilson Administration and he was asked to serve as a secretary to
Colonel Edward M. House, President Woodrow Wilson's closest advisor, on the American Commission to Negotiate Peace following the end of
World War I. Frary travelled with the American delegation to negotiate peace at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. While attending the Peace
Conference Frary fell ill with pneumonia and died in Paris on April 8, 1919.
